In 1892, a little girl named Mary who was 7 years old, died and was buried in Oaks Cemetery in Jackson. The graveyard in now called Hillcrest Cemetery. The story says a few days later, her mother woke up in a panic thinking that her daughter had been buried alive.

They excavated the casket from the ground and to their surprise found claw marks on the inside of the casket. Legend has it, that if you go to the cemetery you can still hear the screams of her cries.

Locals of Wynn, Michigan have reported that there is a monster lurking in the cornfields in Wynn. It has been described by residents as a shadow but shaped like a disfigured man. The monster lives in the cornfields and will scare you at night.

The last claimed sighting was in 2003 when a delivery truck driver pulled of the road near the cornfield in Wynn. As he got out to stretch his legs, he saw a frightening human-like shadow figure staring back at him. He immediately got back in his truck and drove off.

In Paris, Michigan in 1938 there had been a man who had been attached by 5 wild dogs while one of the dogs actually got up on his hind legs and walked towards the man. In Allegan, Manistee, and Cross Village have all reported sighting of the Dog Man.
