Croatian Hunter's Encounter with a 3-Meter Tall Dogman Cryptid

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a fascinating video on YouTube that I just had to share with my fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts over at Squatchable. The video, posted by the Horror Den of Misfits channel, features 20 true, extremely insane Dogman and Cryptid horror stories. Today, I'll be sharing two of those stories with you.
The first story comes from a gentleman who, as a teenager, had a chilling encounter with what he believes to be a Dogman in Croatia. He and his father, a car mechanic, were acquainted with a group of hunters from Zagreb who owned a hunting lodge in the forest about 7 km from the end of the man's village. The lodge was equipped with sensors on stone fence posts in each corner, which would trigger a vibrating electric strap on the hunters' wrists or necks if movement was detected while they were asleep.
One night, the man, then 16, asked if he could join the hunters on their trip. They agreed, and he was stationed with an older man named Marco about 2 km away from the first hunter. As they sat in the hunting house, Marco received a vibration from the sensor, indicating movement outside. Peering through the scope, they saw a mama boar and three little ones in the feeding ground about 60 M away. Suddenly, two of the little boars were sent flying through the air, and a large, 3-meter-tall Dogman appeared, holding the mama boar by the neck.
The witness described the Dogman as having a wolf-like head, standing on two legs, and being black in color. It dropped the mama boar and ran toward their hunting house, causing them to fear for their lives. After the encounter, they found the two little boars with broken backs and large paw prints with an extra toe or a weirdly positioned one nearby. The witness has never forgotten this terrifying experience and still feels the impact of the encounter to this day.
The second story takes us to Trenton, New Jersey, where a woman and her boyfriend were on a late-night ghost hunting trip. As they drove past the side of an abandoned children's orphanage that also operated as an insane asylum, the woman saw a large, black canine body shape in the middle of jumping out of view next to the side of the road. She described the tail as being like a fox's tail – bushy and large. Although she never saw the face or the upper half, as it quickly leaped into the brush, she was certain that it was larger than a dog or a coyote.
Despite her initial intentions of ghost hunting, the woman couldn't shake the feeling that she had witnessed something otherworldly. She researched native animals to New Jersey but found no matches for the mysterious creature she had seen. To this day, she remains open to any explanations or similar sightings, wondering if she may have encountered a Dogman or some other canine creature.
These stories, along with many others, can be found in the Horror Den of Misfits YouTube video. I highly recommend giving it a watch and sharing your own thoughts and experiences with the Squatchable community. Who knows – you may have your very own Dogman encounter to share!
