What We’ll Do

What's hiding in those woods? Is there something under your bed? Have you heard the stories about the creature in the water?

Join Atlas Obscura, and author Colin Dickey for Monster of the Month, an new online show where we'll explore various cryptids, ghosts, and other creatures that lurk just below the surface of polite debate. Is there any truth to the stories? And why are we drawn to them in the first place? During this hour-long event Colin will share the lore and the history, the myth and the science of the world of the monstrous!

This month, strange tales of the Dog Man! A humanoid beast with canine features, it's unlike any other cryptid. Recent stories of the Dog Man suggest a creature that is distinctly supernatural: it can talk, and its manners are hostile and malevolent. Where did this thing come from? What does it want from us? And why are we only talking about it now?
