The Gable Film - Michigan Dogman, page 1

There's a video making the rounds that originates from the 70's. It was found and explored and the results were an attack of sorts on the camera man by a beast of sorts. I'll give you the relevant links and you can make your own judgments. I have my own views of what the creature is, but in the interests of not swaying your own decisions I'll remain quiet until a few have commented.

What's it all about?

"Just recently, myself, Linda Godfrey and a number of other researchers were given access to an intriguing piece of film footage that appears to show an unknown - and distinctly strange - animal.

And now the footage has been made public - by Steve Cook, a Michigan DJ who has the film in his possession.

The first stills that show the creature clearly indicate a canine-headed animal moving through knee-high undergrowth. It has pointed ears on top of its head and shoulders, which ordinary dogs (or bears or other quadrupeds) do not have. It turns and moves to one side, charging through the brush in a way that would be very difficult for a human to do." - Nick Redfern

The orignal blog with story.

Full story here.

Gable Film website with video (some won't be able to view video there though)

So here it is uploaded in Youtube. Michigan Dogman, The Gable Film.



It looks like genuine footage and I like the Youtube 'breakdown of it.' Is it a Dogman, Bigfoot or a normal, natural creature?

Make your own decisions.

Well, you can edit it using Quicktime Pro on the Mac, as I just tried, but it's worth reading this slightly un-convincing but heavy warning from the page of an investigative website connected to the 'legend':

"And finally, a note to would-be pirates: The original 8mm Gable Film is wholly owned and copyrighted by Mindstage Productions. It is not public domain and does not fall under the 'fair use' clause. The same is true for the short documentary you are about to see. When you advance to the viewing room, your IP address and location will be logged. Any attempt to reproduce or redistribute this film in whole or in part without the express permission of the copyright holder will be dealt with aggressively. "

The authors of the site claim to be acting as reporters, the WMV is copyrighted to 'Mindstage Productions'. They claim the film is of unknown origin. They then enforce their 'ownership' of it with the above statement. You can order a DVD for $20. Draw your own conclusions.

Yeah, I got told this when I mentioned to Nick Redfern that I had done this. So, I deleted it from my machine immediately

In fact, the only reason I got it to begin with was because the movie wouldn't load for me. I took a look at the page HTML and noticed it was because of what appeared to be a typo in the two methods of embedding used. And so I pasted the correct URL into the browser which resulted in Windows Media Player opening up and downloading the WMV. This, of course happens when a movie doesn't stream as is the case with this one

Anyway, Nick is giving a Dark30 lecture with Jim Marrs this weekend at which time he will be discussing this movie. He told me that the copyright holder had given him access to frame by frame images from the movie and agreed with me that it was indeed strange. I hope to get more of a discussion out of him when he returns.

I've been meaning to make a thread on this film for the past week but I've been incredibly busy lately.

First off... it isn't a gorilla. When it runs towards the camera it moves like a gorilla, however looking at it you can clearly see perked up ears and a tail that curls over the back.

Secondly... the mouth shots are fake IMO. When you slow it down frame by frame, they look (to me anyway) like a painting. They also don't move from side to side and fade from right to left.

The film is very interesting to watch. The Dogman looks like a primate when it runs towards the camera. It's shoulders are very widely spaced and its forelegs remind me of the knuckle run primates do. However, it could also realistically be a large, black coated Shiba Inu.
If you can get hold of the WMV version and watch it frame by frame, try stopping it as the counter reads 00:03:13:933. To me it looks like the creature could very well be a furry, dark haired specimen of this breed.

Does anyone know if those Shiba Inu are aggressive by nature? But then I guess if it was wild and had been living out there for quite some time, it could have rabies, it could be naturally wild etc hence the aggression towards others.

Hard to tell really, but from what I saw it looks larger than a dog.

It wouldn't have to be aggressive. I don't know if you have ever owned a dog, but when you let them loose in the wild they just run away like crazy things. They poke, they dig, they sniff, they mark and when you call them they do exactly what the 'Dogman' does... stops, looks at you, and then bolts at you as though it wants nothing more than to tear you apart until it reaches you, knocks you down and covers your face in a thin layer of slime.

As the film has no sound its impossible to know whether or not the camera operator had in fact done nothing but called their dog over and ran playfully away from it.
