Love these videos and your books. It’s made me dig much deeper over the years into my Quebecois descendants. started taking French lessons. And spend a lot of time traveling north to Montreal and Quebec. Thank you!
His knowledge of folklore, mysterious and strange things is what drew me to him a few years back. And I've learned more about the little people and a few others that I hadn't heard from anybody else.
I'm a indigenous person of northern Canada and this comment is racist ive reported you for hate speech and hopefully you are removed from your RU-vid account. I'm sorry your lack of intelligence and empathy has made you too be the person you are. Be
Go on then tell me all about the historical life and times of the indigenous people prior to the settlers arrival the history of that continent stretches back countless millennia not a few hundred years
No offence to the original narrator, he brought authenticity to the voices, but Hammerson’s narration just brings it to life more. A great video and stories!
Thank you so much ❤ just love all of these stories & the work you put into producing them. Bless you & yours Mr. Peters. Love from Minnesota ❤️🇺🇸❤️ 🇨🇦 ❤
i really enjoy your narration..the cadence..the way you pronounce the french words are easily/enjoyable to listen to..i do my tasks and work as i listen to you..time flies ..thank you and i feel your channel will continue to grow..and it will with this excellent content..
Infinitely interesting content delivered in a pleasantly digestible manner. Your work is greatly appreciated and I pray that this message finds you well.
I have this queued up to wait for that day when I can prop my feet up and drink a good cup of coffee and enjoy a good listen to one of my favorite voices telling a story that has me fully engaged!
I didn't know so many requests came in for your narration of these stories but I'm glad they did! I just saw a video mention La Corriveau and that brought to mind a desire to rewatch your video. But then I remembered that I had trouble understanding the French narrator. He did a fantastic job, my American ears just don't have a good grasp of the French accent. Thank you, friend!! One of my favorite spooky stories you covered! 💀
He also does some things about Alaska and at least 2 vids about the Rocky Mountains and the northern part of the continential USA since Canadian myths/legends expand easily.
As an American I love to hear folktales from all over the world. I get too much US based content/recommendations. This channel is nice to see other histories
I really enjoy the background music, it sets the mood of the story perfectly. I do believe there is some truth to old folklore stories, all though some may have embellished parts. There is always a once of truth. Honor was valued back in those days, to be labeled crazy carried consequences. I often thought of a possible Portal to a another dimension, in which these things could exist and then disappear.
Your video case files remind me off those "A part or our heritage" commercials from when i was a kid always learn something new everytime.these werewolf tales and the headless valley and oak island stories are my favorites but ive watched them all multiple times thanx for all your hard work sir..
My older brother terrified me with tales of the loup-garou when I was a small child. I'm old now and still have a small shudder at the thought. Thanks for the video though, it is - as always - excellent.
My first time at your site. I really love these types of story, those with an actual historical connection. Well narrated stories, very enjoyable! I happily have become a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you.
I love that story of the Indian squaw... that was a tragic love story. Very sad yet sinister and creepy too. It reminds me of the movie The Howling. And that last story of the flying canoe: that was just hilarious 😆🤣 More stories like these please.
@rebeccabilbrey3524 You're definitely not wrong; I'm with ya on that one lol. Of all the words in the English vocabulary, it's probably not the best word to choose. And another thing - Indians live in India. It blows my mind that it's still normal to refer to native Americans/indigenous people as Indian. Native Americans are just as much "Indian" as the founding fathers were "native American".
He said sqauw in the story, so are you going to correct him as well? That is what they called them back then and no one was offended!!! We are now in the era where everyone gets offended by EVERYTHING!!! IT HAS GOTTEN RIDICULOUS!!! GROW UP PEOPLE!!! FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT FEELINGS!!!
My favorite story you've shared is the "flying canoe story". I have played it for many friends who enjoyed as well. Something inside me believes this story for all it's worth. Thanks
This could EASILY be made into a movie....a series of Loup-Garou themed yarns presented as vignettes, all told by the various characters of the first story, set against the backdrop of their own struggle against that group of Loup_Garou over the night of Christmas eve. It could be an awesome Christmas horror movie!......and with a twist ending of course (maybe the old trapper or the sergeant could be a werewolf, setting them all up to be munched by his friends outside the fort walls). I could imagine it having a similar feel to that classic cannibal horror movie with Guy Pierce from the 1990's, 'Ravenous' (which is a must watch if you love that pioneers and military in the wilderness type film)
OMG, it's been decades since i've heard the term 'Loup Garo', don't even remember where i first ran into the term but seem to have it associated with Cajun lore from Louisiana here in the US. A vengeful Canadian Indian female Loup Garo, eeeep! Gotta say, these are three of the very best spooky tales i've ever heard and i've been around a while. Ending here with a quote from a friend of mine, "There's no such thing as imagination; we're just not smart enough to make all this stuff up." 🤔
@@dwellinj1513 if you like folk tales, in Quebec we have another one, Le Bonhomme 7 heures , He comes at night if you're out past seven o'clock and stuffs children in his bag and takes them away never to be seen again. We're such nice people traumatizing our children with boogeymen, all I know is you had to be home before the sun went down.
*HEY HAMMER* I HAVE A FIRST HAND NORTHERN ONTARIO STORY THAT ONLY 2 PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT, IT HONESTLY RIPPED THE VAIL FROM MY EYES AN 20 + YEARS LATERS I CAN STILL FEEL THE EMOTIONS OF THAT DAY!! I HAVE NO RU-vid PAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT! HIT ME UP! GBYAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm from the Appalachians. I got a little bit of Cherokee blood. I can tell you that red skin women have tempers like you wouldn't believe. That Baptiste fellow made a huge mistake by scorning that squaw.
Well he said it in the story several times, so, you going to call him out and correct him? They were called squaws back then and NO ONE WAS OFFENDED!!! I guess we are in the era of OFFENSIVE EVERYTHING!!! People need to just grow a thicker skin today!!! FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT FEELINGS!!!
10:14 _Even a man who is pure in heart_ _And says his prayers by night_ _May become a wolf_ _when the wolfbane blooms_ _And the moon is full and bright_
There's an old Quebec folktale of them being able to take care of themselves without sucking money from the rest of the country in the form of equalization payments.
@@HammersonPeters it's definitely not exact but I am curious if they took the original storyline as a basis. Almost too many similarities to believe otherwise including the specific time
Take the red thing as close to the end as possible let the video finish, start it over NO ADS AT ALL!!! Maybe one close to the end. It's not as frustrating as an ad every 2 minutes!!!
Hi there. You really need to stop using the term Squaw it is a racial slur. Please stop. I really enjoy your content but this one I had to dislike because of it. I'm Indigenous and it's really upsetting to hear this term being used.
@@solarius5057 I disagree. It is a term that has been used to degrade Indigenous women. I find it right up there with the N word. I myself am an Indigenous woman, as I mentioned, and many if not all my peers feel the same way. Thanks for your comment.
@@solarius5057 Are you Indigenous? If not, it's not your place to decide what's offensive and what's not. The term is well known, here in Québec, as a slur. I don't know anybody that would use this word, except for children who read that in outdated books. I'm pretty sure the author, back in the days, didn't use to be offensive. If I were Hammerson, I would have changed the word to match the intent of the author. But I wouldn't change it if shows my ancestors' ignorance about Indigenous cultures. Trust me, in old québécois sources, a lot of slurs were used to express an open disgust towards Indigenous people. They were seen as lazy, as superstitious and irrational, that they needed guidance to save them from themselves. So even though the word, here, was not meant as a slur, it's now well known that it is. There is no reason to use it nowadays when the intent wasn't harmful.
@@maqtewek4628 Le gars relatait une histoire d'époque, rien de plus. C'est pas comme si lui-même a traité quiconque de votre supposé terme péjoratif ou a encouragé la nation au complet à le faire. Il est probablement et simplement resté fidèle à l'histoire telle quelle, d'où l'importance contextuelle.
