Lincolnshire dogman

The Lincolnshire Dogman is a modern cryptid reported in England’s East Midlands, described as a large, muscular creature standing on two legs with a canine head and glowing eyes. Sightings surged in the late 20th century, often from motorists catching glimpses along quiet country lanes or farmers finding strange clawed prints near livestock carcasses. Some stories tie it to older British folklore of black dogs like the Barghest or Black Shuck, while others see it as a distinctly modern phenomenon blending werewolf legends with cryptid intrigue. Skeptics attribute these encounters to misidentified large dogs or the power of suggestion on foggy nights. Still, the Lincolnshire Dogman stands out as an unsettling fusion of ancient shapeshifter myths and contemporary fears stalking pastoral landscapes.
