A fishing trawler's nets, in the frigid North Atlantic, has came up with
more than just fish it seems. When the main nets were hoisted aboard
the ship “Blue Gull”, the crewmen discovered something about six feet
long and bright red, a source said. “At first all I saw was something
red and oblong” Daniel Prish said. “I told the others to go slow and
open the net gently. What I saw astonished me. A Nazi swastika
emblazoned on a bright red flag was staring at me. The first thing I
thought was how pristine, and in perfect condition it looked. When I
went to grab it I could tell right away what it was. It was obvious at
that point that it was a body.”
Prish went on to describe how
they carefully unwrapped the the 65 year old Nazi flag and found the
corpse of a Nazi sailor who had been buried at sea with full honors.
Reports from various fisherman on board said it was perfectly preserved
by the frigid water of the North Atlantic. Josh Campbell reported that
it looked like it had been wrapped and thrown into the ocean the day
before. The corpse was complete with uniform, medals, facial and scalp
hair intact.
“It really creeped me out at first as the eyes were
open and milky white staring right at me, and the skin had a grayish
blue color to it” Campbell said.
The coast guard was called as
per maritime law and the corpse and flag were all turned over to some
very astonished servicemen. Its unclear at this point what happened to
the body, and the Coast Guard isn't forth coming with any information as
of yet about the incident except to confirm a body was retrieved from
the fishing vessel “Blue Gull.”

Michigan Dogman On The Prowl Once Again
It seems that the infamous, yet very elusive “Dogman” of Michigan is
once again on the prowl within the Manistee National Forest, and the
surrounding area. On the weekend of July 24th two separate accounts of
sightings with Michigan's creature from folklore were reported to the
state police. Mrs. Davis of Brethren, MI., who has a farm on the
northwest outskirts of the National Park, said she went to investigate
her horses and other livestock making a ruckus when she walked around
the corner of her barn and came face to face with the creature. She
described the beast as on all fours sniffing near the barn entrance when
she first spotted it. Mrs. Davis has quoted the following account.
“I was less than 30' from it when it saw me and stood up on its hinds legs. It must have been at least 7' tall, covered in long shaggy hair, and a long snout for a face. It looked right at me and snarled. I had this strange sense that it was smiling at me. I instinctively shined my flashlight on it and its eyes reflected like burning red coals. It cocked it's head at me came down on all four legs again and hit the nearby brush at a run so fast it was gone in like one second.”
When Mrs. Davis was asked why she didn't run when she first saw the creature she said her father had known of the Dogman and also had an experience. She remembered him once telling her never to run from it, to stand her ground and it would most likely leave. If advanced upon she was to slowly back away. “My dad was a very smart man and knew the forest around here well. I knew well enough to trust his advice” she said. The second accounted sighting was near Custer, MI. just west of Brethren and the couple who sighted it while hiking were so traumatized by their encounter that the only real information the police could get was that they were sure there was more than one.
The Dogman, or even Dogmen are Michigan's version of werewolfs. Its unclear how they became known as Dogman. After some research I found some theories that the Michigan Dogman could possibly be related to the infamous native American Indian warriors of the same title. The theory states that these Indian warriors, known to native American's as “Skinwalkers” were capable of shape shifting. Some even go so far as to claim they may even be the same warriors of the 1830's as not only do they shape shift but they are also ageless.
