The Gable Film – Hoax or the Real Michigan Dogman
Alright folks, this is supposedly real genuine footage of the Michigan Dogman. Known as the Gable Film, this grainy old 8mm flick was allegedly bought at an estate sale. It has since been purchased by Michigan disc jockey Steve Cook. But other then that, there is very little information on the film. Some commentors on YouTube claim that you can see a man’s leg kick out which explains it away as a hoax. Others have said it looks more like a gorilla the way it moves. Check out the full and enhanced versions of the video as well. I suspect we can chalk this one up as another dead end.

When I first looked at the film it appears a mans leg popped out as well. Then I looked at the enhanced footage and it appears just to be a shadow cast off the creatures mid section down to its back left side as it shift to begging running, causing an odd shaped silhouette. After The attack there is another film

look at that^. I'm trying to find out as much as I can to figure if the films are a fabricated hoax or in fact real.

Even if the Gable film is proven to be a fake and the second part is no doubt the question of the Dogman still remains a hot and lively topic and this film does not disprove it's existence.The jury is still out. There are too many first person eye witness sightings and accounts to merely dismiss them out of hand as it seems that the Dogman is not limited to the upper midwest but has been reported in much of the lower forty-eight states to date. Much more learned and studied investigation is necessary. We cannot ascribe the Dogman to mere mass-hysteria and delusion. It is obvious that the canine lives in many realities, so lets explore further. Possibly the creature exists in a multi-dimensional state. Maybe it's a "Skinwalker". The Native Americans, "The People" are very learned in these matters and should be sought out for their expertise and skills in this subject matter. Only time will tell if there is a "Cryptozoological Entity" in our midst.
