Has anyone else noticed more Dogman sightings near the Great Lakes lately?

Genuinely fascinating pattern and I've been tracking it for about two years now. The sightings cluster hard around the Michigan shoreline and into Ontario - consistently bipedal, canine features, height reports in the 7-8ft range. That's not random noise.

What gets me is the geographic overlap with historical indigenous territory boundaries. I'm not saying that explains anything definitively but the correlation keeps showing up in the data. The UP of Michigan especially seems to generate a disproportionate number of credible reports from people who clearly had no prior exposure to the Dogman mythology before their encounter.

Anyone else cross-referencing these with the BFRO database? Not because I think they're the same entity, quite the opposite - the behavioural profiles are completely different and I think conflating them does a disservice to both phenomena.

If you've got recent witness testimony from anywhere near Marquette or the Keweenaw Peninsula I'd genuinely like to compare notes. I've been building a timeline going back to 2019 and thier are some patterns in the seasonal distribution that nobody seems to be talking about.

Not really my area if I'm honest, I'm more into the EVP and BEK stuff. But I did fall down a rabbit hole last year reading about the Beast of Bray Road and the Michigan sightings do seem weirdly concentrated in a way that's hard to just write off as misidentification. Like people aren't just seeing big dogs, they're describing something upright and aware, which is the bit that gets under my skin. @TwilightWhitby have you cross-referenced the sighting dates with anything environmental, seasonal patterns or whatever? Feels like the kind of thing that might reveal something if you mapped it properly.

Not really my area - I'm more into ghosts and time slips than cryptids. But I will say the sheer volume of consistent reports from that region is hard to just brush off, even as a sceptic on this stuff. Bipedal canine reports going back decades with witnesses who don't know each other describing the same thing... that's something worth paying attention to.
