@@tetrismaster911 That's an interesting one, I covered that one in one of my Alberta cryptid videos and I'd like to talk about it again in an Ontario cryptids part 2 video down the road
Two friends of mine about 15 years ago insisted they saw a dogman in their backyard I didn't really believe them growing up not far away and having black bears I just assumed cryptids like that were just people not realizing they leaved so close
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - he's great, I feel like a hack because I just kinds give general overviews lol. Cheers mate!
Im amazed your channel has never been recommended to me, hammerson peters is a regular listen for me, good on you for advertising for him, he is a plethora of information, i look forward to more of your videos.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - Hammerson Peters is great, I just sort of give general overviews on cryptid legends within the different provinces. I still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos but I'm glad they're providing value to people out there. I look forward to many more down the road. Cheers mate, have a great week!
When I was in first year of highschool me and a couple buddies were walking a long back road to go to a party. Neither of us had drank or anything yet. But it was dark and just barely raining so we were all going shirtless cause it was hot and muggy outside and we been walking a good while so the rain felt nice? We noticed headlights in the distance coming around a blind corner so we figured it was weird and random three young guys on foot no shirts that far out of town plus ppl fly through there. So we jumped across the ditch into a clearing in the bush that opened up into a field.. All three of us stopped as we spotted a tall upright animal like figure maybe 20 yards out that took off running on hind legs as soon as we entered the field and so we hightailed it back to the street right as the car was passing. Sure the guy driving had a lot of questions but we kept running. Both my friends came to the conclusion it was a werewolf, only explanation I had was a horse running on hind legs but that makes just as little sense considering it took multiple strides in a run. Still no idea what that was and dont tell that story often considering a werewolf encounter isn't very believable.. But my buddy has phoned me to back his story when he's called out for bs lol. Was it the dog man? a samsquanch? an athletic horse? Ill never know
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - and thanks for sharing that story, sound wild! Whereabouts did that take place, around Edmonton? Cheers mate, have a great weekend!
@@strangenorth Of course ! Enjoying the content, ya got the gift of gab, interesting topics and great story telling. But that was in Nova Scotia, Annapolis valley region over 10 years ago
Thanks I appreciate it, still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos! I don't know too much about that area yet but down the road I'd like to look into potentially doing a cryptids of Nova Scotia video
Maybe try hypnotic therapy to see if the memory can be opened up more vividly - I think I'd at least give it a shot seeing as how it's such a mysterious and rare occurrence - edit; I just mean I'm no expert but I heard being hypnotized can bring someone back to almost relive the memory again like you're actually there and so maybe now that you're older it can provide more insight or a fresh perspective on something that happened so long ago
When I was 8 years old, I was captivated and terrified by the Cabbagetown Monster story, it appeared in the newspaper with the picture you showed (red glowing eyes). I lived in Scarborough (half hour north of Cabbagetown) and I was obsessed with finding the monster by calling into the sewers, hahaha...Love these stories.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - that's my favorite legend form within Ontario, I wonder if that guy actually saw something unusual. Cheers mate, have a great week!
@@strangenorth Yeah there is a lot of detail in the story and it really feels sincere. I know it got my attention but I was really into cryptids and paranormal as a kid. Thanks for the cool videos. Cheers.
@@stevelowry794 Downtown on Queen Street...Will soon be doing an investigation and story on the tunnel monster ! Yes it was indeed strange looking and only about 3 feet tall same as in the reports... Happened to hear someone say they seen something... Checked it out and surprised to eventually see the creature....!
There was a report of a dogman like creature sighting by a home owner near St. George, Ontario which is north of the Hamilton area a couple of years ago. She said that she saw a very tall human/dog like figure about 7-8 feet tall with reddish fur lurking about in the nearby woods of her home. It had really freaked her out.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - interesting, I'm still surprised by how many various dogman encounters are reported across the continent. Cheers mate, have a great weekend!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I plan on doing a cryptids of Nova Scotia video down the road. You also might enjoy the video I did a couple months ago on the Shag Harbour UFO incident in that province - I love that story. Thanks again for the support, I still can't believe anyone is watching my little videos. Cheers mate, have a great weekend!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - and thanks for sharing your experience, do you remember how big they appeared to be? Cheers
@@strangenorth ouf..bigger than a steel row boat per hump. There were 2 or 3 humps plus the neck. There were two of these things in the middle of the lake.
@@StiffAftermath Cool, thanks for sharing - one of my goals with this channel was just to learn about the strange experiences that other people have had around Canada (and the world for that matter). The Great Lakes have so many cool mysteries surrounding them and I look forward to doing more videos from that region down the road. Cheers mate
The scariest cryptid of them all: people from the GTA. Unlike the Sasquatch, these creatures are loud and destroy small towns when they’re migrating. Very pukwudgie-esque.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I love those prints too, Canadian Pacific Railway did a bunch of great promotional posters back in the day and a local company makes big copies of them. Cheers mate!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I reside in Kingston Ontario. Yet I was an avid outdoorsman and for 6 years. I was a Professional Hunting Guide. On two different Islands in Ontario. I have hunted alot in the Griffith Ontario region. Our Deer Camp was on the Madawaska River. I never had an encounter with a Cryptid Creature personally. Yet I found your video very interesting as I perused it. 💪👃✨
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - it's definitely a subject with a lot of debate, and some cryptid legends seem to be more substantial than others. Cheers!
I know it is not specifically an Ontario cryptoid but The Wendigo has always fascinated me. In fact Algernon Blackwood wrote a story that is set in Ontario. It was very good and called The Wendigo It is in the public domain as a free PDF and has even been used as a prop in a movie.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I talked about the Wendigo in one of my Alberta cryptids videos, and I was thinking about including it again in an Ontario cryptids part 2 video down the road. Cheers mate
Lake Temiskaming in English= The Water is Deep or Deep Waters it is the 11th deepest freshwater lake in The World. It's deepest point is just over 700 feet deep, it is said a big sea creature lives mostly under the lakes 295 kilometer squared surface area, Mostly.

Thrilled there's "some" cryptids in Ontario and even better around Southern Ontario! Fits right in to my fictional stories and world I've had since I was a teenager growing up in Dunnville, Ontario. Thank you!!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - definitely a lot of Ontario cryptid legends, including some that I didn't get to in this video. Cheers mate
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I haven't been to Hamilton yet and I look forward to visiting in the future! Cheers mate
"People forget ontario isn't toronto and Ottawa." I'm from Northern Ontario. Every time I have to go to the GTA (Doctors appointments), I tell my wife I finally made it to ontario.
I live in Barrie and I've heard of Kempenfelt Kelly and the Igopogo seperately and I always assumed that dragon statue was just modern art. Very interesting to know both creatures are one and the same and that the statue is a representation of them. Very interesting. Great video.
Thanks for watching, it's a subject I love to dig into - and there are a bunch more legends within Ontario too. I plan on doing a part 2 video down the road. Cheers mate
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - that's crazy, those animals are pretty smart and elusive though so it makes sense it could make the trek! Cheers mate
You know what I was going back and forth on including it in this compilation - but I'm actually planning on doing an Ontario cryptids part 2 video in the fall because there are definitely enough legends in that province to fill a second video on the topic. I've been Western Canada heavy so far and I want to start incorporating more Eastern Canada videos. Cheers man, have a great week!
@@strangenorth awesome. I grew up in north western Ontario. I had an encounter there. I have no idea what it was. Its too long to type out here. If you have an email I will send it to you.
@@davidedwards3838 Yeah man if you have time to send that story sometime I'd love to read it. I was even thinking about doing a video down the road where I read people's encounters that they are cool with sharing in story form (staying anonymous and using no real names). My channel email is strangenorthchannel@gmail.com. Cheers

When i was a teenager, I was walking by the lake with my friend and my brother. I didn't see it, because it was only visible for a few seconds. But at the same time, they both pointed and yelled "badger mole". They said it scurried into the water as sson as they saw it. I never saw it, but ever since then, the legend of badger mole was born.
3:13 in the Okanogan of BC Canada we have Ogopogo, been stories passed down generation to generation of it from 1800's. the lakes out here have under water cave systems that fill and empty with water from below ground so natural aquafers, it's been said the Ogopogo travels and lives in those cave systems, out here its no joke all locals know of Ogopogo aka Ogiie.
@@strangenorth yes the creature has been talked about for a very long time, welcome I enjoy watching people who genuinely are interested in the unknown.
The tunnel monster legend is almost straight out of Lovecraft - what with the whole "ancient races burrowing beneath a modern metropolis and occasionally emerging to scare the bajeesus out of us surface apes" theme it has. I thought I saw one in Hamilton near one of the old water pumping/power stations. It was probably just a naked crackhead, but still, I wonder sometimes...
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I love the Lovecraft reference, don't see that too often lol. Yeah I love the tunnel monster legend, a lot of people in Toronto have no idea about that one. Cheers mate, have a great week!
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I plan on covering the Maritime provinces down the road, looking forward to it! Cheers
Driving down the road just after sunset looked like something hairy ran across the road on 2 feet. I saw a sillouette against a van for less then a second. Didnt think people saw the same thing. The dogmen are alive!!
I appreciate the shout out as someone had just mentioned this to me. I want to clarify that I speak "as a matter of fact" that Sasquatch are a flesh and blood human-type ancient race who are ALSO interdimensional. I know this through ongoing contact with the same hairy family since 2012 with hundreds of encounter incidents that include many incidents of physical contact (I've even been hugged from behind), telepathic incidents, orb activity directly related to the family that has happened both outdoors and indoors. I've developed written communication (yes they know how to write and they know ALL language). Apports are very common with marbles being used for the most part. I've witnessed so many marbles appear from thin air that it's normal in our visits. Sasquatch are people, they have names as we do. They're advanced in their understanding of energy and consciousness. What I've posted publicly has zero embellishment. It's not "belief", it's fact from a massive amount of personal experience given over the course of close to a dozen years now. The truth of Sasquatch will have massive implications once science can no longer deny their reality. They know more of what's going on in this world than we do. According to them, they're before humans.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I'm fascinated by all of the Canadian cryptid legends and I want to learn more about it. Cheers mate, have a great week!
@@Pseudotsuga.menziesii When I had a close vocal encounter back in October, 2008, my life changed. I wanted answers. It wasn't about being a "researcher", I don't care to follow anyone's rules, I make my own. I blaze my own trail. I search for truth and found it. I've been given so much contact experience at this point that folks like you will never understand. It's so far beyond your comprehension that you and many like you just can't fathom what this involves. I have so much supporting evidence that'd it'd make your head spin. You can't handle the truth. There's good reason why I'm asked to do countless interviews, speak at universities, invites to do presentations at conferences, etc. I know Sasquatch. I know how they can show up, I know how they interact with humans and some of what they're capable of that is far beyond the confines of limited thinkers like yourself. Toss your human construct out the window, it doesn't work here anymore.
@@SasquatchOntario I'm not trying to insult you. I want to help you. I work as a care giver to individuals with mental disorders such as various dementias and schizophrenia. Based on years of interaction with these people daily I would be willing to bet my life that you have anosognosia with other underlying conditions.

Thank you for the video. I just subscribed. I’ve lived in the bush of beautiful Northern Ontario all my life. I’ve never seen anything unexplainable, yet! If / when I do, I’m not sure if I’ll be terrified or insatiably curious ….?
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I admit I'm not the foremost expert on these cryptid legends, I've just always enjoyed these Canadian creatures of folklore. Cheers mate, have a great weekend!
Not a cryptid, but there's a campsite in ON that's reportedly very haunted -many stories of spontaneous fires, ghost sightings and sounds. While watching a TV doc about it many years ago, my father told me he'd been there and there is a very bad vibe there so he didn't stay long. I forget where it is, so if anyone can fill me in, please comment
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - interesting, do you remember where in Ontario that campsite is? Cheers mate
@strangenorth I wish I could remember. I've searched a few times and couldn't find anything on it. My father camped quite often on the Bruce peninsula, so possibly in that region. I do remember it was a camp ground - not any town or structure.
There are “sea monsters” in nearly every lake in Ontario. And the one most commonly reported in Michigan also tends to frequent the west shore of Lake Huron.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - fair point, and a lot of cryptid legends I didn't get to in this one. Cheers mate
From northern Ontario Algoma area...my grandfather, my sister and I have all seen monkeys in the bush while hunting jumping around the trees.. and on the road while driving. Not bigfoot, monkeys. with skinny arms and long skinny tails. For anyone thinking "why is this a problem?"..nothing with a long skinny tail like that would make it through the winter without losing that tail to frostbite. So there's another cryptid for you apparently...northern Ontario monkeys
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - and thanks for sharing your experience, always good to get more information and I plan on doing an Ontario cryptids part 2 video down the road. Cheers mate, have a great week!
i live right by Algonquin Provincial Park my backyard bunt the park line never saw monkeys but herd some crazy stuff and had 8lb rocks throwen at are campsite well camping there ill have keep eyes open for those
I live in northern Ontario and after 5 years on 30 acres I ran across a large primate type creature that I chased after getting within 20 feet of it to confirm what my eyes had seen. Long slender thin arms and a long thin fuzzy tail that it used like a kangaroo to help propel itself when it leaped off the path before I took off after it. It had hateful glowing yellow rings in its eyes, was white and yellowish fuzzy all over except its black leathery almost dog like but stubby like a monkeys mouth area. It didnt open its mouth but I could tell it had large canines. I typed in devil ape when i got back to the cabin and sure enough devil monkeys are a thing. They will attempt to hypnotize you with their eyes
I remember its tail was very long and curled up like a rope before it leaped a great distance maybe 10-15 feet. I cant be 100% certain it used its tail to help with the jump but I believe it did. Once I ran over to where it had been standing it was about 20 feet away on a tree and was bobbing back and forth from behind the small trees trunk to which it was clinging. I felt it was tying to hypnotize me with its large yellow glowing eyes and when I glanced around for a rock to throw at it it jumped to the tree next to it. Not wanting it to follow me I backed away as it jumped from tree to tree getting farther away until it was out of view. A lady who has lived in the area for 30 years told me she came across a severed raccoon head with no sign of the body on one of my properties trails about 20 years ago. She said she wondered what type of creature could have done that because a bear wouldn't do that, just sever the head cleanly and leave it... I said maybe it was a Sasquatch and she laughed and laughed
I know, isn't that great? I've been thinking about trying to make tshirts/mugs with a different cryptid "mascot" for each province. Could be fun. Cheers mate, enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Champlain actually described the monster he saw in Lake Champlain in great detail. See "Vermont History at Home: Champ, the Lake Monster. You also missed Bessie, The Owen Sound Serpent, and Kingstie, who live in Lake Ontario, Lake Huron and Lake Erie, respectively. All of those lakes make far more sense than Lake Simcoe for being the home of lake monsters. You should check out Great Lakes Guide for more
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I actually posted one on Quebec cryptids a couple weeks ago, you may find that one interesting. Cheers mate!
In the 90s in waterloo there were hundreds off accounts of strange orbs that wound move through solid objects, they were slow moving and seemed to follow the paths of halls and walkways. Club Abstract goers were the original source of the sightings.
@emperorhadrian6011 I most probably know them- I was sitting with my friend- who went there- We were in his kitchen in Kitchener when I saw one float over his balcony came through his screen passed by between our heads through his kitchen and made a left down his hallway. It was the size of a big grapefruit. I beleive you man.
Been in the bush, hunting and trapping in northern Ontario my whole life!! I have never nor has anyone I have ever met, which includes ALOT of bush people, seen any kind of signs indicating a bigfoot!!!

Hot damn, man. I'm from Burlington, Ontario and I look for stuff like this and never heard of Dog Man or the Burlington sighting in the "early 1990s" which happens to be when I was born! I'll definitely be looking into this. Do you have any more details you can share like where within the city it happened?
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I'm sorry but I don't have more information about that, just that it happened well within city limits. I love these Canadian cryptid and I'm surprised at how many views this video is getting! Cheers mate
I live on lake simcoe I was always freaked out whenever we went swimming in the middle of the lake don’t know why I’m so freaked now but I’ve always said that I have no idea why I’m scared to swim in simcoe. I’ll chock up my fear of swimming to the cryptid lol
I've seen this creature in a little lake called Laguett lake in Frontenac county IT was approximately 45 feet long and when it come up to the surface it came up like a submarine then was breathing like Bull. Swimming fast toward my camp were my dog was tied to a tree but couldn't still be In the water to swim the creature swam past my boat going after my barking dog IT was going to eat my dog my dog was barking for over a hour in the water and that's why I'm thinking it even came to the surface. I started my boat and started chasing after it . At the beach line the monster animal went back under the water gone. My dog was gone I looked everywhere for him. There he was shaking in fear in my tent he cut a hole in my tent to hide my dog chewed through the rope to get away from this thing. This animal had a head on it like between a bull and a Bear swam every fast and was breathing like a bull. I will never forget and I am sure it's still in that lake for sure today! True story.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - wow that sounds wild! Good thing your dog was able to get away from it, around what year did that happen? Cheers mate
@@strangenorth This happened in 1993 it seems like yesterday. I now he is still there the dog barking for over an hour caused this creature to come up to the surface I'm sure if I put loud. Panicking sounds in the water I wonder if it would come back up to visit again. Love to see IT Again.
I live in Ontario and like your videos. It occurred to me that every Bigfoot sighting, is never seen with a hunting weapon, Maybe they are vegetarians?

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - that's a fair point, and I think a lot of sightings have very mundane explanations. I haven't seen mating gar pike specifically, I'm going to look that up. Cheers mate
@@strangenorth it happens in Georgian bay aswell and is pretty freaky a female can be pretty big and the males all follow behind and they skim the surface creating a serpent like appearance it can tail for 10 to 20 feet behind so it looks massive still wouldn't want to fall in there gar pike are aggressive even towards humans I would argue it would be more dangerous than an ogopogo in spawning periods I know of one story where they actually attacked someone's dog by swarming it
The best video is by Red Barn Ranch and is called longnosed gar during spawning, note how they clump up when that big one aka the female takes off they follow single and double file behind creating a serpentine appearance
Don't go seeking for these demons...because you'll find them. Cast them off from you in the Mighty name of Jesus. The bible talks about the demons that were cast out from heaven and cast down to the deapths of the sea. Read the bible instead of mystical tales. God bless you, hope you call on Jesus because He truly is ALIVE.👈
