In the late 60s we lived in Station Street, Crewe, which we left when the whole area was to be slum-cleared. The houses were old fashioned, very basic terraced ones opening directly onto the street, and as everyone knew everyone else it was safe to 'play out' quite late at night. One evening, Mark (aged about 9) was walking along the wide pavement when he saw some characters coming toward him. There were 3 I think, and they were somewhat taller than people...

Though I have never run across other tales of nocturnal dogheaded men, the theme of "nighthawks bumping into the Strange on city sidewalks" is common around the world. For example, in the early 1970's a report came from a Latin American country (I think Argentina) of a night-time encounter between a man and three black-suited creatures. He was walking on one side of a city street, the creatures were walking down the other side, going the other way. Each of the beings wore what looked like a black spacesuit; their heads were covered and pointed, their eyes a glowing red. All were short humanoids. I think they did not notice the witness, who later told the police.
While this sighting could be lumped in with UFO "phenomena" because the things looked like aliens, your sighting of the dogmen was very similar. What I've noticed with all witness accounts of weird creatures (non-UFO) is that they either take no heed of the witness, or they react to him/her in some strange way (physical attacks, running away, staring, or telepathic communication.) Luckily the dogmen seemed intent on popping into our reality, clumsily walking through it, then vanshing back from whence they came.

In Egypt, the Jackal headed God, Anubis, is an urban legend. He has been seen in physical presence and in shadow. He is the guuardian of the underworld and guides spirits to Abydos. He has often been seen shortly after or before a person's death.
I'm not saying that this is what you saw but a Dog Headed man and Anubis are pretty much anatomically identical in my book...

Was'nt there a humanoid creature a bit like this in the latest star wars movie? perhaps it's a question of precognition of the movie kind.

Reminds me of the following report:


Location: Jenin to Dotan road (Israel)

Date/Time: [not specified].

A resident of the Arab town of Jenin was driving one evening towards Dotan and picked up a hitch-hiker, who who sat in the passenger seat beside him. After a while he noticed his companion's face had transformed into that of a one-eyed dog. Stopping the car, he ran away from it and fainted.

Debate in Jenin and the neighbouring towns interpreted the figure variously as a demon, or 'the blind liar' - an evil figure that is to spread evil abroad before the coming of the Messiah.

Source(s): Daily Maariv (Israel) 14 October 1996; 'Chillers on the road' (Fortean Times, issue uncertain).

Turns out that there is one form of Demon that becomes human to entice it's victims, then becomes a hideous Jackal type creature...often with one eye or a shroud over is face and nose, covering it's eyes...

Animal headed thingies

When I was in high school in Portland, Oregon, USA, around the year 1969. A friend, Mike Edgerton, told me that he liked to rent a 'bear' costume and go the mall or some other public place and hand out candy and wave to people!

He kept wanting me to go along! Doh! No way. But one night he asked me to drive him around, late at night. Gosh, what are friends for (no really, what ARE friends for?) Whenever we saw someone, and this episode was late on a Friday night in residential neiborhoods, he'd get out and walk around and wave to people. Remember, it was dark and there is this idiot in a rented bear costume (more like a cartoonish bear with a big head), waving at the few people who were coming home or going out at that hour.

That was the last time I got roped into doing that but I'm sure it went on without my help or approval.

I'm also sure that what one nit-wit thinks up, someone else, somewhere, sometime will also try. Perhaps pranksters or costume party goers are the cause of some unusual stories.

reading the story on the dog headed men reminds me of a similar thing that happened to me as a child ( aged about 10 ) it reads as follows. i used to live in a place called ashton ( east manchester ) and behind my house there were two large factories and whilst playing down there one summer morning my freind ( same age ) told me to look at two figures walking towards us sillueted by the sun, we thought it was our parents coming to tell us off for playing where we shouldn't but when they got close one of the figures appeared to have a dog's head we froze still. it was obvious it was a real dogs head by it's movment, detail etc the other figure was human, we both ran home and told our parents they did not beleive us but they new we were obviously spooked, so they called the police and a few hours later they caught up with a man who we identified as the man with the dog headed man. he told the police exactly what we saw was true and he claimed to have met the dogman on the banks of the canal and was following him to see if he was real, he claims he lost him. both the police and my parents did not believe any story but to this day nobody has believed me but to here of a similar story is amazing has anyone else had a similar expeiriance.

I think the dog-headed men must be some sort of archetype we Westerners don't dwell on; still, it comes out every so often. Are any of you familiar with Wildstorm's (a subsidiary of DC Comics) book by Alan Moore and Gene Ha, entitled "Top Ten?" If I'm not mistaken, there's a dog-headed man in the book. Or the dog's using a cybernetic human body...I'm not certain. Sorry--I'm a "Planetary" fan.

This is addressed to everyone who has encountered "dog-headed men." I am an artist, and a paranormal researcher in my spare time. Could you please tell me what -type- of dog these people's heads resembled? That is, wolf, collie, boxer, poodle, etc.
The reason that I ask is because there is a record of a similar incident having occured a while back somewhere in the USA, although two things were different. Nevertheless, the man who had the encounter said that the figure's face resembled a certain type of dog, and I am curiious to see whether or not there is a connection.
Also, what were these dog-headed people wearing when you all saw them? Are we talking about dogs walking around on its hind legs or are we talking about men in suits with heads that look like the faces of dogs? Also, how tall were these people? Did they ever open their mouths?
Please answer as soon as possible.

the doghead man i saw seemed to have the haed of a dobherman altho this particular breed of dog has a bad reputation for being nasty this doghead seemed to have a calm face it is hard for me to say as i don't really have anything to compare it with but it did seem to have the appearence of a friendly "being". as for clothes it had on i cant remember my self but my friend only remembers long black and baggy and thats about it. i said he was a man with a dogs head because thats how i remembered him as he they walked towards me his siluette seemed human and gave no clues for me to think other wise ( until i saw him obviously. he walked and carried him self like a human, but i just assumed maybe he was a dog walking on his hind legs.

This rings a bell... I remember reading years ago of a whole race of Dog-Headed men supposed to originate in Africa, I think. It was in a book of legendary creatures...

Take a look - One-eyed, two-eyed, dog-headed cannibals and a bibliography to boot!

Yeah, I've heard of those. I've heard a theory that they might have been seen on Madagascar where there used to live a species of gorilla-sized lemurs. If they could mistake gorillas for men why not lemurs.
