Sorry about that...

Barbara was quite real. It's just that the encounter was so "surreal" that in hindsight I admit to having entertained the thought that she was something 'more'.

I can't believe I have never once heard of "Dogmen". That's a new one on me.

We have a few, very few, local tales somewhat similar. Remember when we discussed this YEARS ago here, about local ghost stories?

As I've told everyone here I do not believe in Bigfoot, or Nessie, or the chupacabra, but I would LOVE for them all to be true. . And I also love speaking with people who do believe in them. I have the utmost respect for them. - JamesJM
