Aloha Tide Riders and welcome to the third installment of our Old School Classic Cryptids saga! Get ready to howl at the moon, dudes and dudettes, because this episode of Strange Tides takes you deep into one of the gnarliest mysteries lurking in the shadows — Werewolves and Dogmen.

We’re tracing the hairy trail from ancient mythology to modern backwoods sightings. From the chilling Greek tale of Lycaon’s cursed transformation to medieval Europe’s werewolf obsession, we break down how humans across time have feared, worshiped, and hunted these legendary shapeshifters. But it doesn’t stop there — we’ll cruise into the dense forests of North America, where reports of Dogmen have left hikers, campers, and cryptid chasers shaking in their boots. We’re talkin’ about the infamous Beast of Bray Road, the Land Between the Lakes Dogman attacks, and creepy encounters from Brazil to New Zealand.

But what are these creatures,? We dive into the wild theories — from psychological projections to misidentified animals, to extreme cases of genetic mutations or diseases that could explain some of these terrifying sightings. We’ll also explore the fringe when we enter the Tinfoil Teepee:

Evolutionary throwbacks from a distant human-canine branch

Skinwalkers and shapeshifters from Indigenous lore

Interdimensional beings slipping in from alternate realities

Even the possibility of government experiments and alien hybrids straight out of X-Files territory.

Plus, we break down how hoaxes, viral internet stories, and wild imaginations keep throwing logs on the werewolf bonfire.

Whether you think they’re cryptids, supernatural entities, or the ultimate cosmic prank, one thing’s for sure — the mystery of werewolves and dogmen still sends chills through campfire stories and late-night road trips.

Buckle up, fam. The woods are alive tonight.
