Isn't it usual to cringe when these people put out their claims? You've got "experts", stating that a Hodag was featured in a kid's show he's seen. While they try to convey the idea that they're on to something...
My 6th grade 2week camp experience in 1967 at Camp Seymour near Gig Harbor, WA included the campfire story of the Hodag. This is the first time I’ve heard that name since then. Now I know what it looks like. Ha ha!
Yes, Eugene Shepard traded Ojibwe on a land point on Lake Tomahawk, north of Rhinelander. Shepard obviously borrowed his image of the Hodag from the Native artwork of the Mishipishu, the great Water Lynx, also known as the Matchi Manitou.
I live in Lake Tomahawk, 15 minutes away from Rhinelander. All good stories, but the Hodag is a hucksters story. Anything for a quick dollar still works today.
I HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH HODAG LAST SUMMER. I WAS HIKING IN THE WOODS LOOKING FOR A GOOD SPOT TO CONSUME THE MCDONALD'S FOOD I HAD IN MY BACKPACK. I FOUND A PERFECT LOCATION OVERLOOKING A DENSE THICKET THAT WAS IN FRONT OF A SCENIC LAKE. AS I STARTED TO EAT MY BIG MAC AND FRIES I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH A STENCH THAT WAS WORSE THAN ANYTHING I HAD EVER EXPERIENCED IN WASHINGTON, DC. SUDDENLY I SAW MOVEMENT TO THE RIGHT OF ME. AS THIS ANIMAL CONTINUED TO APPROACH, THE SMELL INTENSIFIED. IT BEGAN TO GROWL IN DEEP GUTTURAL TONES. INITIALLY I PANICKED UNTIL I REMEMBERED I HAD EXTRA MCDONALD'S FOOD IN MY BACKPACK. I IMMEDIATELY REMOVED THE FOOD FROM MY BACKPACK AND FLIPPED A BIG MAC, FRIES, FILET OF FISH SANDWHICH AND A COKE TO WHAT I BELIEVED WAS A HODAG. MAN, DID I HIT A HOME RUN. THE ANIMAL TORE INTO THAT FOOD LIKE TRUMP INTO MEDIA COMPANIES. I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW RAPIDLY THE HODAG CONSUMED THE FOOD. AS IT FINISHED, THE HODAG LOOKED AT ME WITH AN INQUISITIVE LOOK ON ITS FACE. HODAG WAS ASKING IF I HAD ANY MORE FOOD. I WAS ABLE TO CONVEY TO HODAG THAT I DIDN'T BUT WOULD GO BUY MORE. HODAG AGREED TO WAIT FOR ME. I BOUGHT MORE FOOD, FED HODAG AND FINALLY REALIZED WHY HODAG SMELLED SO FOUL. WHILE HE WAS EATING, HODAG WAS ABLE TO MENTALLY CONVEY TO ME THAT FOOD WAS SCARCE IN THE WOODS AND HE WOULD STARVE IF IT WASN'T FOR HIKER'S FEEDING HIM FAST FOOD. HODAG LOVED HIS FAST FOOD, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DIDN'T LOVE HIM AND MADE HIM SMELL WORSE THAN AN ARENA FULL OF POLITICIANS. ANYWAY, WHEN HODAG WAS FULL I CONTINUED MY HIKE WITH SUCH A FEELING OF CONTENTMENT KNOWING I HAD HELPED TO KEEP HODAG GOING FOR A FEW MORE DAYS. I LOVE THE HODAG AND HOPE I GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN THIS SUMMER.
lol kids can lie. they often do. tho her account on hodag seems true. i dont want to think half the ppl in town are just that delusional and lie... just to hype the hodag lore. tho its sad no one ever can capture a good picture or video with todays technology. having a phone cam 24/7. now that is the only "sus" 😯😔
The first time I heard of the hodag was on mysteries at the museum. Then one day in September of 2020 my family visited rinlandor for the weekend and I learned more about the hodag which gave me an idea for a goosebumps style horror book. I call it hodag horror. I have not started writing it yet but I do have the plot planed out. Basically the hodag was not a hoax but was a real monster and the main character Robert finds out that the hodag escape from gein shepherd so he lied saying it was a hoax. After Robert hears this he and 2 of his friends go off into the forest surrounding rinlandor in search of the hodag.
I find it EXTREMELY funny that the SAME person who said he got a picture of the hodag ADMITTED that the original person who created the hodag was a hoax or as he said a "joke" 🤔🤣
The Jean Sheppard photo only discredits his story. For one thing it looks like a stuffed toy,. And why would a creature so fierce just stand rigid on a log while surrounded by humans, and not simply take off and escape .The thing in the picture looks like one of the imaginary beasts from Maurice Sendac's illustrated children's book "Where the Wild Things Go". Very unconvincing. As far as witnesses, they are as credible or unreliable as witnesses to any other phenomenon. You can believe or not as you choose to.
The Hodag is a made-up monster or fearsome critter described in fantasy works like "Fearsome Critters" (Tryon) from 1939; "The Hodag & Other Tales of the Logging Camps" (Kearney) from 1928 and "Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods (Cox) from 1919.
I remember reading about it in one of Daniel Cohen’s books on “monsters” when I was a kid. Was described as a beast purely of folklore, as opposed to cryptozoological: (still mostly folklore, but accompanied by extensive eyewitness reports and ambiguous physical evidence).
Right, this is a completely fake story with lots of obvious troll posts in here and no substance. I debated whether to bother pointing out, but I think folks should know that "someone" has the power to do this and the interest in doing so. He's probably using it to discredit cryptozoology broadly elsewhere on the internet; that's his m.o. Disturbing.
They trying to say that it's a hoax. Well what about the young girl who said she saw it and smelled it's awful smell. And she got scared and ran home. If it's a hoax... Then why did she see it?? I don't think she would lie.
Why is it that every time you hear someone who encounters a large cat claims that it was a black panther with glowing red eyes? How are they seeing that when black panthers do not live in the United states? How did they see that when there are no animals with glowing red eyes? The ONLY animals with eyes that reflect red are albino cats. Everyone else has eyes that reflect green. Not a single animal out there on the face of the Earth has eyes that glow. Not a one. So how is it that people see these things? How is it that people see black panthers with glowing red eyes? How is it that people see bigfoot? How is it that people see mothman? And how is it that people see the hodad? It's because when they get startled in the woods, that's what they expect to see because they've been told that's what is there. It's very simple. The girl did not see a Hodag because hodags don't exist. She saw something else, and her brain did the rest of the work turning it into a Hodag with glowing red eyes and horns down it's spine. She didn't lie. Her brain lied.
The town is called Rhinelander so I'm assuming it was founded by German immigrants back in the day. This Hodag is definitely a new one for me. Their local version of the jackolope I guess. Old lumber towns are interesting with colorful people, I used to live in one in the PNW.
Seems to be a lot about commercialisation of the Hodag, would have been better for more time on an expedition into the swamp to find a creature, unknown to science, that looks something like this.
I have no idea how one got here to the Juniata Valley in Central Pennsylvania. I shot that thing, but the bullet bounced off and it ran into the darkness. It looked as if it was eating something, and I saw that thing bit a damn hog in half!
On a rock wall bordering Lake Superior is an Indian painting closely resembling a hodag. Really not that far from Rhinelander, WI. (Don't know if it's there today. I saw it in a book on petroglyphs.)
that is a water panther. it is common amongst tribes. It was a way to scare children to stay away from the water as not to drown or be swept away the current. For some reason folks think that only white man uses lies to scare children to keep them from harm
Lol sounds like a lot of people there like to drink a bit too much :D I'm all about being open minded but this one is so crazy i can't help but be skeptical.
These stories are entertaining to listen to but there's no way I'd ever take any of them seriously. It's like watching the 1931 version of Frankenstein, fun, but you know it's pure fiction.
@@righteousbrother9402 I believe that Bigfoot, Slenderman, Mothman, Aliens. All the things you think are Myths are REAL. Clear enough? lol. Witches, Vampires, Beast. All of it.
I’m a Sasquatch believer, I’m a believer in UFOs, but this hodag I highly doubt. The guy that took pics with his iPhone is a character, actually I think he hurts the people who think they really seen it.
So he took photos of it and didn't show. Not being mean but this is fake. I believe in things out there, but there's no way ur telling me they lived to tell the tale. Judging the way it looks it's on top of the food chain. I need evidence: hair, blood, poop, footprints. Otherwise I'm calling fake and staying on it.
Makes you wonder if the artist doing the paintings of the hodag has seen a dogman in his wondering in the woods ,done a painting of it&how much he'd charge for it.
April fools joke gone out of control? Descriptions remind me of iguanas, they have back spikes, can change colours. Apart from that, looks like one of the creatures in, where the wild things are. Wild boars?
Those commercials "from a few years ago", looked like they were made in the 90's.. 😄🙈 Aaand this episode has been just a long and cheery tourism ad.. The music.. 🤨 "shivers" my 🍑! 😄
Hey when the original europeans came here amd started crossing the country. A group of settlers set up a small town near a little stream and that first winter was brutal. The only thing that kept them alive were the 7 foot pink salamader lizards that lived in the stream. They were slow and easy to catch and eat. Only live in that one part of the stream . Extinct in less than a year. Now a myth but were real. Who knows whats out there
Giant salamanders in japan and it snows and freezes.there. alligators can freeze solid with there noses out of the water and drop there heart rate. You tube has plenty of videos
@@donaldbrock4687 Actually salamanders can freeze solid and thaw in the spring and be perfectly fine. It’s documented and one of nature’s many wonders.
@@glane3962 I know some salamanders and frogs can freeze solid.. what I don't buy is 7 ft long salamanders in america that kept people alive all winter. And he said they were living in the stream and we're slow and easy to catch meaning they were not frozen solid..
Wow. I've lived up here my whole life and have never - this is absolutely the stupidest thing I've come across. The Hodag is an old logging joke and the town mascot including every childrens athletic team.
today of age....everyone has iphone,modern phone camera or anything handheld....so your saying NOT a single one think to take a picture of these so call creature...at ALL?!....i mean i have my psvita everywhere i go coz im bored whenever i go out always playing games on it or using it as an mp3 player...but it comes with a camera. i have tons of picture of incident where i took the picture instantly or during the incident like a tree falling down,forest fire,even to a kid crash during a skateboard extreme stunt (not severely injured or dying of coz). and all of these people in modern area who i know is at the age where modern phone is around....cant even take a single picture?....i mean its a creature for godsake...now a robber who would put a gun on to your head for taking a video during robbery...i understand that. but every single one have no picture evidences?... and about the phone dmg, the last time i check people had back up incase their phone are stolen...icloud all that last time...thousand of pictures are backed up like family event,memories all that...you mean at that modern age NO...think of a back or salvage the phone data....the dmg part is the phone not the data or the sim card....i understand if it was submerged in water that might be hard to retrieved,hard but not possible,i know police and other investigation company had high tech gear that can retrieve black box from car to plane crash that was found in deeper water or sea.
Ok wait wait wait, I thought this guy saw the HODAG and even took a picture of it, and then the little girl saw it too, sitting up on a tree, Then this guy the same one that saw the creature then says it's a joke, ok if I was that guy I wouldn't show my face around town again, that's embarrassing, I'd move to another county.. talk about tripping over your own feet.. 🙃😬
Wisconsin has the Hodag -- South Dakota has the Jackalope!
43 minute infomercial from the town's tourist board. Quite good and I did enjoy the chuckles I got from it.
The photo of the Hodag looks like he's wearing Grandpas false teeth.
I seen some hobags before
Hahaha
Each morning when you look in thee mirror 😅. Boom
@@Areyousayingidontknowmyname well duh, takes one to know one
I've met a few Wisconsin hobags.
I saw 5 today
How can you be an expert when you've never seen a hodag,or studied one physically
Isn't it usual to cringe when these people put out their claims?
You've got "experts", stating that a Hodag was featured in a kid's show he's seen. While they try to convey the idea that they're on to something...
@@__-tp4tmYou missed the entire point of the documentary. They pretty much tell you it’s not real but it’s about visiting the town of Rhinelander.

Great video ☺
Hodag is as real as Love in our Hearts for It.
😊
I love this show i wish thefe were more were people tell the encounters monsters and mysteries is good too.
great little doco
This is actually very similar to Mishipishu in Ojibwe and other Anishnebec tribe's legends.
Yes, Eugene Shepard traded Ojibwe on a land point on Lake Tomahawk, north of Rhinelander. Shepard obviously borrowed his image of the Hodag from the Native artwork of the Mishipishu, the great Water Lynx, also known as the Matchi Manitou.
yes there is a lot of Hoax stories out there. White man aint the only ones who make up BS

Just the appearance of the thing is kind of absurd, even by other people's supposed depictions of what they saw.

In the "cloud"
Yes! I've waited so long to view this episode!!!
I LOVE this show!!!!
👏👏👏👏
I remember visiting my cousin in Wisconsin when I was a kid and he made fake Hodag prints to try to scare me. It didn't work LOL
I'm thinking........ mutant Godzilla Hog
(hodag = da hog)
The kids are always the most believable witnesses because they rarely have the skill to tell a passable lie...
are you joking? Kids lie all the time. Talk to a cop sometime.
