Wolf Pack - Shelley Rockwell-Martin Seperates Fact From Fiction

One Wednesday the SyFy show Paranormal Witness aired "Wolf Pack". It was about the experience of the Martin family that Linda Godfrey featured in her book "Real Wolfmen". The show of course took creative license in telling the story. Shelley Martin took the time to explain what the show embellished or did not portray correctly

Shelley Martin posted the following in the FaceBook Group -  Dogman Mystery

Shelley Rockwell-Martin

thank you, everyone, for allowing me to join your page! Linda Godfrey and I spoke after the show and right now she is at a cryptology convention but when she returns or has time, I would like to post what was embellished and what wasn't......some of the ways they embellished just seemed off-the-wall to Eric and I and muddied the actual, real event of seeing these "beasts"...that's unfortunate because those who just don't consider or believe, will justify their thoughts and what they consider accurate. I no longer judge anyone's ordeal/event after going through this ordeal......I've learned that just because I might not have experienced something, or can't scientifically figure something out, does not mean it isn't so. It's a vast planet as well as vast galaxy out there and anything is possible.

• Shelley Rockwell-Martin @ JC.....that's such a good point, but I wish I would have known. The producer, Mark lewis if you want to google him, is a fantastic guy, brought his whole crew from London...RAW TV/Productions, and about two months before the airing he asked if they had permission to put the dream in.....reason being, although we truly never slept.....who the heck could or would, when I sat down on the bed and leaned back, I started thinking how easy it would be for them to just tap the glass and grab either Eric or I because our king sized bed was in the middle of two windows on either side....across the room there were two windows, too. They were right outside the bedroom wall and their noises were guttural and sounded as though they had a form of communication....if you go to the post interview on their site, which was done two weeks before the show, I say things completely different than they showed.....such as the "beasts" didn't bang or hit the house and so on. I did, however, learn a few things, not those ridiculous things they made up, but other things Eric did I had no idea he had done until I heard his interview! They were here from London for a full week and we each had at least one day of interviewing with their crew and some of us more than that. but one thing Mark asked me was, "How did you feel when Eric went outside the second time?" I matter of factually stated, "He didn't do that." Then they showed me his interview and I literally cried. My poor friend Linda Godfrey, she called me right up when she saw the sneak peak because some of her other friends and fans were mentioning her book didn't discuss what they were showing! Little did we know that when the show came out there would be so many embellishments. Which, diminishes the fact that these "beasts" and the whole ordeal can happen....people are not dumb and some things that they did, just didn't add up! Linda, on the other hand, sent her transcript to me and made me approve every single little detail before hand......she treated it respectfully and scientifically and knew her stuff! I heard her as a guest one night on Coast to Coast and the rest is history! Some people blame Eric and I because of the way paranormal put the order of events and embellished. But if you really listen to what Eric and I say, we never mention knives, werewolves, banging, that they were five feet from Eric's face...and where the heck was the farm pond?! That was an important piece of the event and where they hung out! Oh well, Please get Linda Godfrey's latest book to read the story and see our sketches that look as though as third grader drew them and that might be giving them more credit than they deserve! LOL But she did it that way so there would be no prompting and then after we had sent them to her, she shared other from others, all around the world, that went through similar events and ours were either similar or exactly the same.

The Legend of "The Long Dog"

Shared by: Mark Hamblen/David Jannick.

The common threads of evidence in Kingsport about tales of a mysterious creature sworn to exist by Cherokee Indians and sworn to have been seen from time to time by most of the early white settlers living in the valley, up and down the Holston River along the River Road, now known as “Big Elm Road” near Sensabaugh Tunnel.

The creature was legendary even before the first white settlers moved into ...the area.

Cherokee Indians called the creature “Oolonga-Doglalla”, roughly translated as “spirit with knife teeth” and knew it as a ghostly, spirit-like creature that is both part Human and part Dog that roamed the North Fork of the Holston River valley at night, moaning and bellowing and sometimes killing solitary natives at random. Over time, the name was corrupted by the early white settlers into “The Long Dog”, mainly because they couldn’t pronounce Oolnga-Doglalla.

The name “Long Dog” was fitting, in the minds of the white people, because of the common description of the creature by those who had seen it but escaped attack.

The creature was said to lope when it ran, much like a wolverine moves. That is to say, it’s leaping movement brought its hind legs up under its front legs and its back arched at each stride, not unlike the movement of an inchworm. The creature moved this way at slow movement or on the run. The scariest, most terrifying sight was to see the creature moving along in its hideous lope, off to the side, parallel to your path but gaining on you even as you stepped faster and faster to get home before it caught you.

Also, the creature was quite long; some say as long as five or six feet long, fully outstretched. So that seemed to fit the corrupted Cherokee name. It had perhaps the length of a large, stout panther, but did not look like a panther and with a much shorter tail. This creature was said to have yellowish-red, glowing eyes that were clearly fiery looking, glowing in the night. Its breath, and it’s difficult to know how someone smelled its breath and survived, was said to have the acrid smell of burning sulfur. Its hair was not sleek and shiny like a panther; rather it was matted and oily. Tracks found along the riverbank showed great, long, sharp claws.

Yet, even though signs and evidence ascribed to the creature were like those of a living beast, it was known to appear and disappear; to take the form of the “Long Dog” sometimes and yet sometimes transform into a spirit-like, ghostly shape; like that of a “living dead zombie”, or vice versa, for lack of a better description.

Kingsport's Cherokee Dog-Man Spirit That the Cherokee Indians Believed dwell near the North Fork of the Holston River near Sensabaugh Tunnel..................isn't it interesting that centuries after the Cherokee left this region, that our culture also believes that same Sensabaugh Tunnel area to be haunted.Two different cultures in two different centuries, and yet both believe that same area to be haunted. ....ask yourself, what are the odds of that

Dogman or Long Snouted Bigfoot

This is some of the best footage I have of the Dogman. In the back trail caputre you can see the head, head, eye, mouth movement, and a large portion of the body through the foliage. The opinions on what this is run 75% Dogman and 25% Bigfoot. IMHO it is a short snouted Dogman. Take a look at the collage of still shots from the video and decide for yourself.

Below is a close up of its head pressing into the foliage.

This is still the most viewed post on any subject Bigfoot or Dogman.

I left everyone hanging with a teaser about the cryptids that moved into my research area last year. I will “let the cat or better dog out of the bag” and tell my story.

Still Capture of the Dogman on 05/22/2011 (This is not from the HD footage)

It all started on March 27, 2011. I was in the public research area doing my thing. I had visited the stick shelter and worked my way to the island crossing. I was looking across to the island and filming. I also had the “back trail” camera on my shoulder filming behind me. Unknown to me at the time a dark figure was standing in the vegetation beside the thick and overgrown trail. The figure was dark brown-black and approximately six feet tall. I did not know this “thing” was behind me until I reviewed my back trail footage the week after my research visit.

Dogman - What is it?

The creature known as a Dogman is approximately five to seven feet tall weighing between two hundred and four hundred pounds.   They have the head that resembles a large dog or a wolf with canine ears and a canine-like snout. Some Dogmen have been reported having snouts that are shorter in appearance and flat on the end. Other reports describe a longer snout that appears more canine.

The Dogman is bipedal, walking or running on their “hind legs.” They possess a “human-like” torso and arms. They have “claws” for hands. Witnesses have reported seeing the Dogman holding and eating small game clutched in their front “claws.”
