Interesting report from North American Dogman Project. Check them out if you get a chance, here is the report: “This occurred in early December, 2011 at around 2 A.M. in the morning. A friend and I were sitting in my bedroom hanging out whenever we both noticed something moving on my surveillance monitor.
I had a camera pointed down my driveway so I could see whenever I had company drive up. When we both looked, I saw what appeared to be a large canine running on all fours and in mid run this thing came up on its hind legs and continued running across my field and across my drive and into my brothers field on two legs. I was in shock and my friend immediately turned to me with her mouth wide open. I asked her, “What did you just see!?” and she replied with “Well what did you see!?” I saw where this was going so I then asked her, “How many legs was it running on!?” She replied, “It was running on four but went to two!” I then had a cold chill run through my body as I knew she saw what I had seen. I jumped up and grabbed my night vision scope I had recently purchased and ran to my front door with my friend behind me.
I must admit I was hesitant to open that door for fear of it maybe standing there. So I opened the door while letting out a “roar” as to maybe shock it if it was there, but it wasn’t. Hey, I didn’t know! I cautiously walked out on my front porch and took the scope and scanned the front field. There was nothing to be see nor do I know which direction it went in besides where I had seen it last. I waited until daybreak and went out to where it crossed my driveway and I found a paw print that was a good 12″x12″. I was stunned. I just stood there looking back at the woods it had came from and looked South to where it was headed.
I had no way to save the print and didn’t think to take a picture at the time, nor was my camera recording at the time of the sighting either. From what I could see on camera, this thing was massive in its upper body. I can still remember seeing the muscles flexing and the muscularity in its upper back as it came to its full height. It was running in weeds that came to my waist but on all fours it was a good two feet above them and when it went to full height I would estimate it to be a good 8 foot tall. Due to the camera showing only B & W I didn’t get to see its color but it was dark. Its head is something else that stands out as I could see the snout and its pointed ears which were laid back whenever it went to two legs.
I am a R&D technician so I am trained to watch for details and even though this thing was moving fast, faster than any human, I was transfixed on its form and what I was seeing. It was headed South and into property that connects to the Stennis Space Center’s Buffer Zone which is over a 100,000 acres of untouched and uninhabited acreage that was put aside for the Space Shuttle Program in Hancock County, MS since the mid 60’s. So it has all the resources it needs in order to survive in those woods and to go undetected. I have always been an outdoors man but since that sighting, I will not go out in the woods without a gun on me now. I know for a fact I do not want to run into that thing up close.
