The Hunt For The Southslope Dogman 🐺 Military v's Dogman Horror / Creepypasta Story

the hunt for the South slope Dogman written by Lan saden the following is the account of Captain Collins a now missing member of the pass gate Rangers and the leader of the now defunct Ranger Squadron 3 commonly known as the nightcrawlers the following document is being made public under the oaces of project black feather in an attempt to bring to light the dangerous and irresponsible activities of one Godwin Sinclair and his ring of Associates operating out of ravenhead Alberta the archivist Bo

Town's people went missing last week we found one of the bodies just off the South slope Road a few days ago mold all to hell so much so we couldn't even tell which of the two missing people it was the other one still hasn't been found yet but with the reports of half HS half human screams from the edge of town I'm guessing we're not going to find him Sinclair and his aites think some kind of lyan Thro or monstrous animal that's left the forest behind command told us to get ready either way we'

re heading out for the ranging tomorrow and plan to be back within a week I'll be leading the nightcrawlers up the western side of the valley The Headless men will have the East and the iron sides will be going at the center before both of us trying to flush whatever this thing is outwards towards one of us orders are to capture but we have freedom to kill if capture is unattainable I'm no stranger to hunting down monsters at this point but the night before arranging is always the worst you neve

r know who's coming back or what state they'll be in Sinclair sent us a nice rich dinner and some wine from his personal stores though I suppose it's nice but it almost feels like a last meal before an execution the team is excited and I suppose I will be too once I'm in the field and adrenaline is Flowing it'll be the last night I get to sleep in a real bed for the next week or forever maybe can't wait to sleep on the forest floor and wake up stiff and cold with pine needles in my ass bedtime w

e were up before the sun armed and kitted within an hour and all three teams were assembled in the yard where the master Ranger met us and briefed us again on the situation racket remember iron sides are to stay ahead of the entire line keep noisy and keep loud we want this thing flushed towards the edges of the valley where the flanks can pick it up captains keep frequent contact with one another don't break formation if you can drive this thing across the Lee Collins you and the nightcrawlers

will go on alone while the others hold the river bank in case it Loose back understood the old said got it I called adding my voice to the chorus of acceptance that arose from the assembl group good now get out of here I want to report from each Captain every night the three teams marched out of the yard and reached Raven head after almost an hour we passed through the town on the way to the South slope Road and a few of the town's people who were just beginning to stir waved at us or called her

good luck out of their windows The Headless men broke off first to hold the East and it was only us and the iron sides until they broke off a few hours later being the furthest from the staging ground we were the last to reach position and spread out into a lone staggered line this close to Raven head the pasate forest has been cut back leaving only Rolling Hills of grass and a few scattered assortments of trees and scrub ahead of us as we spread out across the valley loomed the tall and ancien

t trees of pasate pine trees grew taller here than they did anywhere else in the world but that's probably the least strange thing you'll find in this Valley night crawlers in position over I spoke into my radio in position over crackled a voice from the radio headless men ready to range over came a second voice IR Insight moving out give us an hour and get walking I switched to the radio channel for my Squadron and told them we had an hour to kill so hold position and keep an eye on the tree li

ne I set my backpack down on the ground and propped my rifle against it I pulled a cigarette out from one of my jacket pockets and lit it the iron smoke filling my lungs and fully waking me up I looked on the line and saw the smoke Rising off a few other cigarettes I shook my legs out and sat down on the grass leaning against my bag even though I've been in them for years there's still something offputting about the Pas gate Forest well it's literally home to monsters so I suppose that's a stupi

d thing to say the trees themselves though the ground the bushes everything is just off somehow I've never been great with words but I guess the forest gives off a bad Vibe huh well whatever this is a ranging log not a journal who cares what I think we suff for an hour smoking and checking our guns over when the call came from the iron sides to start moving the captain of the Headless men and I both confirmed we were moving and I signaled my Rangers forward I was on the far right of the line and

we were spread out so that I could just make out the ranger to my left enough to cover extra ground but not too far away if one of us found something it's slow going when you're trying to flush something out especially when it could be some sort of maneen Beast so we weren't covering much ground the whole first day passed uneventfully one of my Rangers found a footprint the turned out to be just a regular wolf one of the Headless men shot a deer accidentally living up to their call sign and I c

ould hear the clamor of the iron sights even from an hour ahead of us they're shouting and banging echoing Through The Dark Forest as they tried to flush an angry monster right onto us we each paired up with the man to our left and lit a fire sleeping in shifts through the night so we could keep watch along with a line of fires running through the woods which would hopefully keep our prey to the north of us sleep is easy to find when you've been walking with a full pack all day but hard to Rouse

yourself out of I had the first watch so I at least had the chance to sleep until sun run eyes when my partner nudged me awake with his boots and handed me a mess tin full of eggs bread and bacon I ate quickly and washed it down with some of the coffee that had been boiling over the fire warm and awake we kicked our fire out and covered up our tracks spacing back out to our positions in the line the voice of the iriz captain echoed for my radio instructing all squads to begin moving I passed th

e message down the line and we began walking again even at the height of midday not much light penetrates through the canopy of pass gate leaving us in a largely Dusky state of lighting we called a halt around 1:00 which allowed us to eat a quick lunch before we kept moving it had been a few hours when I noticed that all of a sudden the forest had gone quiet the iron sides weren't making a racket anymore before I had a chance to think about it a voice spoke from my radio all units halt irid has

potential contact ready weapons over night crawlers re you over headless men holding over the forest was dead silent aside from the Clack of rifles being Reed that drifted towards me from down the line even the Birds and the critters of the forest were silent we're dealing with something bad I whispered to myself the silence didn't last long as a moment later the forest erupted with the sounds of gunfire far ahead I immediately dropped behind the trunk of a nearby tree and peaked out towards the

sound of the firefight going on unlike us the ey s sites carried automatic weapons and way more ammunition they were the Heavy Hitters of the Ranger units and you could hear why the Blazer guns lasted for maybe a minute before the forest fell back to an eie silence Target is moving north towards the Lea over Captain iride said through the radio you get visual over Captain headless replied barely whatever it is it's big bipedal humanite dark F nothing more than that moves downn fast IR sight it'

s in Pursuit both of you move your unit up closer in case this doubles back over copy over I said and radio to my team to make double pace through the woods we set off on a light jog forward guns at the ready and packs glowing heavier with every step it took 2 hours before we were in position to the left of the iron Sid's line and the Headless men fell into position only a few minutes after us the halt was called and I radioed the ironide captain how's the tracking over it's still moving North a

s far as we can tell too late to pursue let's get a line of fires going across the valley and make sure it stays north of us extra caution tonight everyone over I relayed the message to my team and we built our fires extra bright that night I presumed that everyone would be as on edge as I was but if they were the ranger I was camping with didn't show a hint of fear he fried up a quick dinner and we ate in silence ears alert to every small sound that came from the the woods I slept first that ni

ght with my rifle loaded right next to me and my knife held close to my chest not that a knife ever did much good against the things we usually faced but it made me feel better all the same I was jolted awake in the middle of the night by something that sounded like a human imitating the howling of a dog it was piercingly loud but seemed to be coming from a good distance off the ranger on watch was already crouched rifle at his shoulder aimed off into the forest he motioned for me to keep quiet

and still so I slowly carefully pipped my rifle off the ground and quickly scanned our perimeter a moment later the forest burst to life with a sound of a roar a scream and a clip of bullets being fired my heart began to pound the adrenaline was cing through my blood blood and I realized what I loved about being a ranger the thrill me and my partner Stood Still In Stone guns trained towards the source of the sound ears trained on everything else after the initial commotion all we could make out

in the night was the sound of something crashing through the underbrush far away in the distance followed by a deep H half an hour later one of our fires got hit no casualties one injured tar is still heading north over iron sight's Captain barked through the radio sounding out of breath get a good look at it over I asked injured Rangers say 7 to 8 ft tall human is big teeth over nothing else over this where is the empty to clip right into it we should be able to follow the blood come morning ov

er I read over I set the radio down next to my blanket and the other Ranger nodded at me slightly you got two more hours he said as he laid his rifle across his hip and leaned back against the treat to resume his watch I nodded in response and Faded back into sleep I had the last shift of the watch and sat for 4 hours waiting for the sun to come up gazing off into the darkness of the night and occasionally feeding the fire I could see the lights of the other fires in the line shining through the

darkness like Distant Fire Flies for some reason something about being in the wilderness just makes me feel so empty not in a bad way but more like emotions just flow in and out of me like a gentle creek without leaving a trace was I scared I don't know there's fear in me that's for sure but it almost feels like it isn't mine it's like it's the fear of some ancient forgotten human who lived in hunted in the depths of the woods centuries ago like an instinctual fear that exists because I'm human

so there's fear there but it's not mine the line got underway right at Sunrise all three units pushing forward at a reduced Pace Captain Ironsides was right the Beast was bleeding not a lot but enough to track it it was moving quickly towards the Lee and we reached the banks of the river just before the sun went down the Lee divides black feather Valley in half somewhere around the middle it's a freezing cold River well more like a stream that tumbles out to the mountains and bisects the valley

cutting the pascap forest in the south from the lak wash forest in the North the Rangers have tried building small Bridges across the Lee in the past but every time we do something smashes it to bits Rangers sent to guard the bridges never come back so we gave up years ago and settled for Ford in the river when we need to cross Captain irides headless and I met at the center of the Rangers line for a meeting before we proceeded we were all sat around a blazing fire drinking in the crisp glacial

Waters of the leaf from Camp mugs I say dog man or werewolf IR inside said sounds enough like one Edler shrugged your man never got a good look I asked no but the description is close enough besides the howling after the attack is enough for me iron sides replied the crawlers are ready to go over I assume headless asked always I nodded the thing is wounded I doubt it'll be that much of a problem IR inside said I saw the blood trail the wound looks superficial regardless we'll rest up and go ove

r in the morning can you two split all the watches between yourselves I asked getting to my feet and sticking my hands over the fire the other two captains nodded we move at dawn I'll ra your reports by the hour I said as I returned into my Rangers and filled them in telling them all to get a good sleep and eat well as I curled up on my blanket next to a fire I watched through half shut eyes as the iron sides and headless entries began to patrol up and down the South Bank of the Lee I fell into

a fitful sleep that night dreaming of my limbs being torn off by the jaws of some huge and horrific Beast I woke Just Before Dawn sweating like a pig a splash my face in the lead and Reed my gear before I made my rounds and woke all the other night crawlers all 12 of us were gathered at the point where the blood trail entered the Lee checking rifles and tightening our pack straps and clothes Captain's ey inside and headless wished us all good luck and we splashed across the river forward plungin

g into the tree line of the lake wash three others and myself formed the main group while two Rangers served as a Vanguard running ahead of us two as a rear guard in the event we were followed and a pair of two far off in the brush on our left and right we spent the entire day on a small game Trail the blood trail had begun to fade but the prints of the Beast was still noticeable huge loping strides a massive Paws with claws on the end something that walked sometimes on 2 feet and sometimes on f

our as the sun was beginning to make its downward descent the two Rangers in the Vanguard radioed in that there was a ranger station not too far ahead that we should be able to make just after Sunset we figured it would be nice to sleep on bunks and under a roof so we decided to press on fully stopped and no signs of the beasts was the reports from the van the two flanking pears returned to our main body and the rear guard made double time to catch up with us so 10 Rangers made the station at th

e same time about an hour after Sunset damn said the man to my right yeah I murmured in front of us the two Rangers who have been scouting ahead were laying slumped on the ground in front of the station in pools of their own blood guts and viscera had been strun around the grounds and one of the the Rangers was now a head and a leg less of a man than he had been that morning not even a shot fired or a radio call another Ranger said secure the building nobody outside until sunrise two guards for

the night at all times decide the shifts yourself I said turning to the unit behind me we'll bury them in the morning we filed inside and found the inside of the station and touched it was a long Log Cabin filled with bunks and supplies which had a ladder leading to an observation tower we had built a number of these scattered throughout the leg wash and the pass gate but none would ever permanently occupied typically just been a place for us to restock and rest for a night when out ranging nobo

dy spoke that night the station was dead silent aside from men tossing in their beds or the occasional snoring we Rose a dawn buried the two dead Rangers and radio the reports back across the river we searched the camp By the Light of the Sun but could only find one set of Beast tracks leading still further north the prince Kate would dry in blood how did one of these things wounded get a drop on two Rangers someone asked I don't know I replied but nobody separates from the main group now we all

stick together be ready to fire at any time we took off our hats and saluted the two freshly dug Graves before we began making our way North again hot on the tracks of the Beast a sense of apprehension was growing inside me as the day wore on and the forest remained still and Silent no sign of the Beast aside from the trail we were following we reached the Blackwater lake at nightfall the lake which the lake washed gets his name from and camped uneventfully on its quiet Shore I could sense the

men were growing uneasy the further we ranged from the Lee but nobody dared voice a complaint when we woke that morning there were nine of us left one of the sentries had vanished in the night there were a few footprints on the edge to the camp but they LED straight into the Blackwater and never emerged Again The Old Lady of the Lake gam one of the men said over breakfast but none of us replied or even acknowledged that anything had been spoken we packed and moved on casting a few lingering furt

ive glances at the glassy still surface of the black water and continued North halfway through the day we had broken out to the Northern Tree Line of the lake wash and we're on the North Slope of the valley the trail carried on and it only took us an hour to find what we were looking for well he made it pretty damn easy for us to find him came the voice of Ranger from behind me all of us had our attention fixed forward at the gaping cave mouth in front of us hot a was drifting out of it and Bloo

d and Bones were scattered everywhere by the entrance which seemed to have a layer of powdered bones coat in the ground like a giant horrible welcome mat all right who's going in first I asked and the men behind me laughed [ __ ] capturing the thing there were explosives back at the station I say we level the whole cave one of the Rangers said and the others muttered and mumbled their agreement for once I agree with you all I don't think we're capturing this thing I I Shrugged Max you and me wil

l go back for the explosives the rest of you stay here and make sure it doesn't leave the Cave the men shifted uneasily and looked around at one another hearing that most Were Meant to stay behind there's seven of you and one of it and you know exactly where it is don't worry about it we're shooting fish in a battle at this point I said as I Resh shouldered my pack and motioned for Max to follow me double time we should be back in a day max and I set off following our Trail back to the station w

e had entered the leg wash again and were a few hours away from the cave when my blood turned to ice as I heard the distant sound of shouting shooting and Howling Max looked at me and I locked eyes with him I stopped and raised my radio up this is Captain crawler does anyone read me status report over the radio burst to life with the sound of screaming hissing static and gunshots the man on the radio was yelling something incoherent at me of which I could only make out one word the one word I ha

dn't wanted to hear HCK the line went dead and I attempted twice more to raadio to unit to no response Max was staring at me Stone Face silently gripping and relaxing his rifle over and over what do we do he asked I stopped and thought for a moment I looked back to where we had come from and then back down the trail we were following say MERS we get the explosives and bury them I ordered Max to dump any extra weight from his pack and I did the same throwing random equipment that I didn't think w

ould come in handy onto the ground we set off at a jog back down the trail again thankful for the slightly lighter packs we ran until well past Sunset when our legs were burning and hung a clawed at my stomach can you keep going without sleeping I asked as I wolfed down water and some canned beef for a few hours at least Max replied I nodded at him we picked our guns up and resumed running it was near 3:00 in the morning when we stopped and only because the trail had become too dangerous to run

on in the dark we had passed Blackwater and in my estimation would' reach the station by noon tomorrow as long as we didn't sleep too long to I asleep I'll take First Watch I said catching my breath and pointing at the ground behind Max he didn't need to be told twice and threw himself down falling asleep immediately I struggled to keep myself awake pacing the perimeter of the clearing we were in and chain smoking the cigarette I had left I nudged Max awake after 2 hours and I laid down falling

immediately asleep I woke to the feel of the sun on my face that's not good I thought to myself as I bolted upright from the ground Max had fallen asleep against the tree we had slept way longer than we should have I got up and threw a splash of water into Max's face waking him up with a start get up I yelled at which Max jumped to his feet and lifted his gun without telling him he grasped what had happened as I could see the fear spreading subtly across his face we began to run again but after

not 15 minutes I heard a distant howl Echo out of the forest far behind us the fear is not mine the fear is not mine I repeated to myself mentally over and over as we ran the HS were beginning to grow more frequent and even worse closer the longer we ran by noon I figured we were almost back to the station that's when the H and broke out from far too close I stopped where I was turned un cocked my rifle what are you doing Max yelled as he spun to look at me they're too close and too fast we won'

t beat them running I said through ragged breaths as I raised my gun to point into the woods Max stopped looked at me for a moment and coming around to what I was saying Reed his rifle as well a light mist was clinging to the floor of the lakew and the forest was dead silent as we stood side by side guns trained on the trail we had just come from the only thing that could be heard was our heavy rhythmic breathing as quickly as the silence had settled it was ruptured Again by a howling snarling c

reature that came sprinting out of the underbrush it was massive probably 8 ft tall if it wasn't hunched over Rippling with muscles it had the head of some sort of mangy evil dog and red eyes that betrayed a terrible Primal hunger it had far too many teeth for a normal dog and the tongue that lolled from its mouth was yellow red and black from the fat blood of marrow it had been feeding on Max managed to loose a shot at it and it connected with the beast's shoulder causing it to stagger slightly

in its forward Sprint it was moving faster than anything I had ever seen and left the last 20 ft to land directly on Max and send him sprawling to the ground it snarled at me looking like it was ready to pounce but it snapped its attention away when Max sank a knife into its side the extra second was all I needed I raised my rifle and put a bullet directly through the head of the Beast which caused it to freeze totter for a moment and claps to the ground next to Max I helped him back to his fee

t but he was in a bad condition the Beast claws had red him all along the side of his body and the impact of the tackle had clearly broken a number of his ribs I slung his rifle over his shoulder and draped his arm over my shoulder beginning to stagger the two of us back towards the station Nice Shot Max smiled weakly as he tempted to wipe the beast's blood off his face thanks we listened and while we could still some howling it sounded far off again I hope that this one had been a long hunter f

rom the pack and we should have enough time to reach the station we did it took almost another 2 hours as we staggered along but eventually we reached the station I had radio back to the other Ranger units on the Lee a few hours back that our situation was lost and the iron sides and headless men were now moving North in full force to support us they said they would rendevu with us at the ranger station but I knew that would take almost a full day Max died his breathing had grown rapid and shall

ow and I'm guessing he drowned on his own blood based on how much he eventually puked up there wasn't time for a burial I found the explosives the pack it's very close now I'm thinking they'll reach the station in the next half hour if I'm lucky but I have the explosives they won't know what hit them for the first time in my life though I don't think the fear is Primal or instinctual or whatever anymore I think the fear is mine Captain Collins the last [Music] Nightcrawler and I hope you enjoy t
