This weekend I'll be heading up to Camp U-Nah-Li-Ya in Suring, WI to dress up as a werewolf and scare children in the woods. My childhood dream come true. But for those of you unfamiliar with the northwoods, I figure I should let you in on what goes on up there. The Ojibwe called them "Wendigo", the French "loup-garou", the British "werewolves", lately in Wisconsin one became known as "The Beast of Bray Road" and most recently in Michigan they have taken the name "dogmen." In 1987, a DJ from Traverse City compiled bits of stories and created The Dogman to tie them all together into a song he produced on a Casio and played it on the radio on April Fool's Day:

Despite The Legend being half-made up, he received dozens of calls that day from people who had seen the creature as far back as the 1930s. Since then, the reports continued to come in including this highly contested video:
The creatures have also been the subject of a book by Linda Godfrey, featured in a History Channel MonsterQuest episode, and even got attention from Sean Hannity (so you KNOW it's legit.)
So, are they real? Yes. In fact, the wolfman is everywhere.
