Mr. Lifton and I initially started talking per phone once a month or so around mid-2018, this due to the David Lifton Project, a video interview my students created back in February 2018 - the point being to share his all important research with the next generation of Americans, the youth of our nation; students sharing the importance of Mr. Lifton's work with other students. Though much of the student film covers the thesis of Best Evidence, midway into the film, Mr. Lifton discusses the seeds of Final Charade - which sprouted in March of 1980. Over the next few months, the frequency of our phone conversations grew to about once a week at its height. The origins of Conversations with David S. Lifton: 'Best Evidence' to 'Final Charade' stem from the fact that Mr. Lifton was aging, and I feared his some forty years (1980-2020) of post-Best Evidence research could be lost if he passed suddenly without anyone knowing how to access his research in his trusty but cryptic Apple MacBook Air. If so, Final Charade might never see the light of day. When discussing this with a fellow researcher, he told me emphatically, "Jim, you have to discuss this with him." This work is the result of that conversation.

"'What the hell is a Dogman? That cannot be real!' This was my reaction when I first heard . . . [a] podcast back in October of 2018. Believe me, I actually laughed for several weeks when the topic of Dogman crossed my mind. It was that unbelievable to me. So . . . What is a Dogman? Is it real? There is no clear definition of a Dogman. Wikipedia does not even directly reference it, although there are pages for Werewolf, Beast of Bray Road, and Michigan Dogman. My best definition is that a Dogman is essentially a creature, flesh and blood and/or spiritual - depending on the interpretation, which looks like a wolf or dog, can walk on two legs like a man, is scary, and can be dangerous as Hell. Think: Lon Chaney, Jr. in 'The Wolf Man' (1941) or Hugh Jackman in 'Van Helsing' (2004). Either way, monsters are apparently real." (From Chapter I) Dogman is nature's greatest cryptid, and this work examines why. Are you ready to take the journey with me?
