Never really followed dogman stuff closely but this caught my attention because it mirrors something I've noticed with shadow people activity near old industrial sites around Salisbury. There does seem to be a pattern with locations that have a lot of residual human energy baked into them, places where people worked and died and spent huge chunks of their lives.
Railroad lines specifically though - are we talking active lines or purely decommissioned ones? Because if its mostly abandoned tracks that changes the theory a bit doesn't it. Could be the isolation rather than anything connected to the line itself.
Has anyone actually mapped these reports out properly? I'd genuinely be interested to see if theres a clustering pattern or if its just confirmation bias making us see a connection that isn't there. I'm skeptical about dogman in general but the geographic angle is the kind of thing that can shift my thinking if the data holds up.
