Manistee and the Gable Film

In 2007 a Michigan radio station aired an 8mm home movie apparently from the seventies: a picnic, some shooting at cans, and at the end a creature running at the cameraman on all fours as the camera falls sideways. It became the central evidence for the Michigan Dogman and went out on television. In 2010 Mike Agrusa of Michigan admitted he had shot it himself in 2003 on a digital camera, aged the footage, and played the monster in a suit; the second found reel was part of the same joke.
