We Double Dogman Dare You!
APRIL 30,
Steve Cook, creator of "The
Legend" and investigator of the Michigan Dogman,
discusses recent sightings and the Gable film
Steve
Cook is a 27 year veteran of the radio industry and a freelance writer. In
1987, he deployed a lifelong interest in folklore creatures and ghost stories
to create a song entitled "The Legend." The verses of the song spin the tale
of a half-man, half-dog creature that roams the woods of northern Michigan,
primarily in the seventh year of each decade. Originally intended as an April
Fool's joke, the reaction to the song surprised everyone at the station. After
it aired, calls began pouring in from people claiming to have seen a creature
exactly like the one described in the song. So began a two-decade search for
the real Michigan dogman - a search that has uncovered startling evidence
that it may not be a myth. Some of that evidence is revealed for the first
time in "The Legend - Legacy Edition," a CD/DVD set released that is part
entertainment, part investigative journalism. Released by MindStage Productions,
the Legacy Edition features the latest versions of "The Legend" and "The Sigma
Story" songs, three chilling ghost stories, a music video, and "Encounters
- The Evidence," an 18 minute documentary that offers expert analysis of several
photographs and film that claim to show the Michigan dogman in the flesh (or
fur - as it were). Proceeds from the sale of the Legacy Edition are donated
to animal rescue groups in northern lower Michigan. For complete details about
"The Legend" and the new Legacy Edition CD/DVD set, please visit http://www.michigan-dogman.com

23, David
Walks-As-Bear
author, Shawnee Nation member, and game warden discusses traditional Amerindian beliefs about shapeshifters and skinwalkers
" I recently did an interview with a reporter from the Traverse City Business News. She was doing a story on the Michigan Dogman. My next Ely Stone novel, ³Witiku, the Shape Shifter², features this mysterious canine and as an elder Shawnee Indian, she wanted to ask me questions pertaining to both of these things. One of her questions was about whether or not I think the Dogman is real or just a Native American legend?²... David Walks-As-Bear is a Kispoko Shawnee Indian. He is an author and syndicated newspaper columnist, living in Northwest Michigan and on the Big Island of Hawaii.

UncannyRadio is not just honored but thrilled
out of our gourd to feature premiere author on all things uncanny
,
Brad Steiger, as our guest on February 6. We will be talking about one of
his eeriest books, SHADOW
WORLD: True Encounters with Beings from the Darkside
Who inhabits the Shadow World? We're not just talking about spirits of the dead. And "friendly" is not a proper description of their character.
Having conducted research through five decades and across four continents, investigator Brad Steiger concludes that a richly populated Shadow World exists all around us. When it impinges on our ordinary plane of shared reality, this dark dimension is sometimes frightening, occasionally menacing, but always worthy of cautious exploration. Spirits of the dead are but one of the many types of beings that inhabit in the Shadow World. Others appear to be multidimensional beings, some of whom may be benign, while others seem to be cosmic tricksters or troublemakers bent on mischief. And unfortunately some of the beings that seem to have our best interests at heart may in fact have entered our world with the intention of possessing our bodies or capturing our souls.
Brad Steiger is the author of more than 160 books with over fifteen million copies in print. He is a frequent guest on a variety of television and radio programs. Podcast 004 Brad Steiger
