Dee Doss has spent the last ten months dedicated to his field research of the Sasquatch and Dogman creature, both in his area of northern Texas, and in southern Oklahoma. Sasquatch are reported more frequently, but the even more terrifying Dogman/Werewolf creature is also said to inhabit the area. Dee has also decided during our chat, to delve more specifically into an encounter he says he had with one of these Dogman-type creatures. It almost made him give up researching all together. He has videos, pictures and much data collected, during his time in the field. His You Tube channel covers more than just Cryptids, but on this episode...it's all we had time for.Subscribe to Dee's channel, Bigfoot Dogman Research Project on YouTube, and find him on Facebook, Twitter and contact him on his personal email address: deedoss13@gmail.com If you love iNTO THE FRAY and want more content....become a member over on Patreon!

I have spoken many times on how much I love the state of FL. It's a gorgeous state known for stifling humidity and heat, animals and insects hell bent on maiming and poisoning, and of course the truly unique mix of people that live there. As Mark mentions, every time there's a weird story...folks are just praying it isn't in Florida. On this episode, I speak with Mark Muncy. He is the author of the soon to be released book, 'Eerie Florida.' This is book one of a series that he and his fiance' and illustrator, Kari Schultz have been researching and driving thousands of miles all over their home state for. They've included Gnomes, sea creatures, witches, haunted dolls, a chair built by the Devil himself, massacres, mermaids and much more! I have chosen a few for this episode that I have never heard before....and a few of my favorites, that I never tire of. A special thanks to Mark and the very talented, Kari for allowing me to debut her rendition of the "Gnome of Bok Tower" on this episode of iTF! Book one rel

On this episode, we travel to Wisconsin and the ruined remains of the Summerwind Mansion. Craig Nehring is close friends with the owners of Summerwind Mansion in Land O' Lakes Wisconsin. The mansion was built in 1914 and has provided many experiences for all that lived there...even continuing after the mansion burned down in 1988. Phantom lights, shadow people, full-body apparitions, Class A EVP's, and even rock throwing are just some of the activity reported. The Fox Valley Ghost Hunters have been a huge part of the investigations, and plan to use the 1916 blue prints of Summerwind Mansion to rebuild it into a museum/haunted bed and breakfast.

Christopher joins Shannon to talk about his encounters as a child in his Grandparents home, with what is commonly referred to as a Hatman. The accoutrements of this Hatman were very distinct, but Christopher never saw his face. It was always looking at him from behind the wardrobe... From MicahAckerman.com: The Hat Man is a shadow person that has been reported all over the world.

Most shadow entities are usually seen for a moment or two before disappearing, but the Hat Man seems to be different often staying for a prolonged period of time and sometimes he even touches, chokes or assaults his victims. Another aspect of the Hat Man that is eerie and more sinister than other shadow people is that the Hat Man is often associated with hostile environments, aggression and is sometimes an indica
