E202 The Sightings No One Can Explain

https://join.unrefinedpodcast.com

What happens when too many eyewitness accounts start sounding alike to ignore?

In this episode, Marcus Ellis returns to the show to talk about the rise in Dogman reports, the work of the North American Dogman Project, and the kinds of encounters that leave people shaken for years. He explains why he sees Dogman as distinct from Sasquatch, what witnesses most often describe, and why these cases seem to carry a different kind of fear than most Bigfoot reports.
