Dogwood , Alabama is a mostly quiet , country town built by coal companies as a mining town the original structures were moved out when the mines closed years ago . A few folks stuck around and built a life on top of an area riddled with abandoned mines and caves . The area has had a rash of sightings over the last 100 years. These videos are only a small sample of the many " white thing" . " Loup garou " and " Skunk ape" sightings in the area where the old Cahaba river basin coal fields used to be . If you notice almost all area of heavy cryptid activity in Alabama are near a river or stream that leads back to the Alabama river or the five rivers Delta. It seems like a pathway of sorts and we are currently looking deeper into that connection . At any rate here are a few video interviews from Central Alabama .
