I Encountered a Six-Foot Dogman in a German Forest. Was it a Benandanti?

Sightings of 'Dogmen or Doglike Humans' have been around since the dawn of time, with a daily dose of film Images of Hammer House of Horror Killers or the Death Shucks of Old it is no wonder we see every encounter as an attack, but as we learn more about the Phenomena behind these Beings or at least try to understand it somehow, there are reports of these Wolf headed men that seem to be the opposite of popular thought. There are many reports worldwide of attacks and kills by these Creatures throughout history and in modern times, we hear of them on Podcasts and TV, Popular film culture, Books and Video footage, ever more violent and to some thrilling. But 'they' are not all reported to be killers and predators. 

Cynocephalus The Dog-Headed Men. Indolent's, Men of War or Werewolves?

Most people have heard of werewolves or as we call them today 'Bipedal Canines, but few of have heard of the ancient race of dog-headed men, known as the Cynocephali. A Cynocephalus was essentially a man with the head of a dog. These Men could understand language but had no ability to speak and were said to communicate by barks and sign language. Though they are sometimes depicted in artwork as being civilised, they were by other reports called savage beasts who lived to hunt and to kill. While this may sound like just another mythical creature, a tale told around camp fires to scare people away from the woods, there are very good reasons to believe that the Cynocephali may have actually existed. One reason we think they existed is that these dog-headed men were described in reports by famous explorers such as Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo!
