APPALACHIA DEVIL DOGS & DOGMAN ENCOUNTERS

There is a demon dog that haunts a small town of Valle Cruses, North Carolina, near Boone. St. John’s Episcopal Church has a cemetery that is haunted by a hulking black dog, the size of a man, with glowing red eyes. Some students from a nearby college were driving past the cemetery one night, when a shadowy figure jumped in front of their vehicle, scaring the students. They sped off, and to their horror, looked back and saw the canine beast following them and pacing the vehicle, even at high speeds.

The Black Dog is a well-known staple of Appalachian folklore. It is a spirit of death, and when one sees it, they are marked for death. Entire bloodlines become cursed when one encounters it, and you should never look it directly in the eyes. Legend says, they’re connected to lightning storms and the crossroads.

Tales of the Snarly Yow, a dog-like beast that walks on two feet like a human, began in the 1700’s with German immigrants in the Appalachians, and Dogman sightings persist in present day Appalachia. Jessica encountered two such beasts in northeast Alabama recently. Did she encounter a pair of Appalachian Devil Dogs or Dogmen? Long Island Bigfoot Mike joins her to discuss these creatures and more!
