I love the background ambient music. The crickets and nighttime noises overlaying the music. Your voice is engaging and your english is proper. You don't use any slang. Your research is incredible. I look forward to new videos. Watching from Kelowna, British Columbia. 🤟🇨🇦
So glad for another upload. I moved from North Bay in Ontario to New Brunswick now I'm in Alberta to stay all in 2 years. I have been to some of the places you've mentioned in many of your videos. I always share this channel with folks from the city you mention and they always get excited. What I'm trying to say is... You bring Canadians together.
@@prowl06 I worked for Safeway in Edmonton for 51 years. During the boom years in the 1970's Safeway hired a lot of people from Atlantic Canada. These were people that settled down here, bore children, and raised families here. What surprised me was that they would always say that when they retired "I'm going home". And they did. Whether it was Newfoundland, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick they went back. What is surprising is that I knew people who came to Alberta from Quebec. When they came to Alberta some barely knew English. They settled down and made a living in Alberta. Yet when they retired they were content to stay in Alberta. You would think that it would be the other way around.
@@roberteaston6413 i moved out west. And now I’m back home on the east coast. Depending on the day, my return was either the best idea or the worst. But maritimers almost always want to come home.
I'm stopping what I'm doing I'm watching this right now Thank you brother for all your hard work. I'm listening to you from the Bay area in California.
I finally get to hear the tale of the Mug-Wump! I’ve been dying to know about it since watching old Kokanee Beer commercials on TH-cam but couldn’t find much about it before now.
Omg!! Best morning surprise, thank you! My mum used to call me "her little mugwump" so I gotta hear this one, I had no idea a mug-wump was even a thing
Nice to hear some tales of where my husband and I have chosen to move in our pre-retirement ....Haileybury. I know there are some pretty big Sturgeon and many other species of fish in the lake but I haven't seen a Mug-Wump yet; I have come across some other really odd things out on the trails at Devil's Rock.
Excellent work. Thanks. This popped up in my feed tonight while I was building some shelving, and frankly I probably would've picked a different article of yours but I was too busy working with my hands and, not being able to choose, enjoyed the whole thing thoroughly.
Welcome back brother! Amazing work as usual my friend. You truly make Canada worth exploring. I love your tales and when I travel through the country I'm always looking forward to the folklore you share! Keep up the great work!
I'm glad I found your site, I am Annishinaabe-ikwe/Scots from Manitoba. My grandmother and I had an encounter when I was very young, our community spoke of these stories. Miigwich for sharing!
Keep em' coming!! I'm from Northern Ontario...a little town called Pointe au Baril Ontario!! In between Parry Sound and Sudbury!! You are one of my all time favorite YT channels. So good to have you back!! Cheers
I was born in Temiskaming Shores and lived in Cobalt for many years where I served on the local fire department. Thank you for making this video and covering a fascinating local legend I grew up being told about by my grandfather
I'm from Charlton Ont , this is so interesting to hear about this The Blanche river ran beside our farm , i spent alot of time walking down to it through the forest with my dog
I keep stopping watching your videos for a few months at a time, but whenever I return, I LOVE how immersive they are, how they focus on usually obscure incidents in Forteana, and how they're the most Canadian thing on Earth (in fact, last year, your videos and My Pride were the final things that made me certain I loved your country)! And although you don't focus exclusively on the true/plausible stories like Bedtime Stories and MrBallen do, that actually helps because it illustrates that you're not here to educate us on what has happened in Canada, but rather what Canada has believed. P.S. Also, Ichthyostega is NOT a salamander, as it lived roughly 130 million years before salamanders had evolved!
Enjoyed the story. Last time I was in Ontario was around 2002 with my aunt. It would have been a grand adventure to drive around in that area....perhaps to see.😊
@@OctopusWithNoFriends Lol 😂 No problem and I am glad you have been able to get a laugh from the Dingbatts,😎👍👍🤗🥰💞 I picked the name after a row with my husband,,, when he'd done something really Daft!!

I've lived in Cobalt for most of my life. Growing up we heard stories about the Mug-Wump, but also of a bigfoot type creature called Old Yellow Too, was rumored to roam the old mines in Cobalt.

My father was born is Saskatchewan and was adopted into a different family. He is Cree and your videos have taught me so much about the amazing legends and stories of that side of my ancestry, I can't thank you enough. Your work is 10/10 nothing less.
this is quite possibly one of the most specific obscure cryptids you could have covered when I JUST used it in a project based on local myths, my god are you reading my mind?
1906, 1926, 1946, and 1976... Odd how all those year dates have a 6 at the end... From 1906 onward with 20 years, 20 years, and 30 years in between intervals...
Cheers to everything you produce, I've watched so much of your material and treasure your work! I hope, wish and pray you persevere and find yourself in a windfall! I hope to see more docs in the future, Thanks! P.S. Trudeau needs to go! Canada was meant to be free!
I am so impressed with your work one more time... Water Monsters of the 45th parallel (roughly) yay! You've encountered your fellow countryman John Kirk I presume?
I lived in Haileybury and swear still to this day that I saw it coming back from fishing at Burnt Island going back home to Haileybury at around 6pm one night. It was in about 300ft of water (had a depth finder on boat). It was in a distance, a head and neck was bobbing in and out of the water for about 1-2min. Eventually it went down and never came back. My dad and best friend had noticed it too. It had to be pretty big. You wouldn’t have seen a bird/duck from that distance. Still bugs me to this day. This was in the late 90’s
I'm from eastern WA State, about 200 miles south of the Canadian border. Idk man, something about Canada...the sparse population, the legends, and the endless natural beauty... I'm just mystified by Canada.
I'm pretty sure the Mug-Wump is the same creature I saw corkscrewing its way up the Ottawa River. I think is a giant eel. It was dark brown, almost black, and didn't have any visible fins. Its head and tail was submerged but what I could see was at least 30 feet long and about 2 1/2 to 3 feet in diameter. Its been seen all over the place in eastern North America and likely much farther. It would be nice to get some scientific clarity on them but you know how that goes..
This is cool learning about thr place i live i live right on the ottawa river iv bin to all the places he talking about very cool thanks for making this 😊
The frog in my photo was caught in a man made shallow "lake" it was a flooded out mine quary. Loaded with arsenic and lead. A proper place for a kid to play for sure
My mom was born in Temiskaming, her Norwegian parents got out just before the Nazis occupied Norway. My grandfather survived an earthquake high atop the mill's tower, but somehow lost a thumb. I spent many summers up there, visiting my grandparents and my mother's seven extremely tall brothers 😃👌
Welcome back Hammerson! You were well missed! Hope all is well with you!

Reading mysteries of Canada, volume three, great job Hamerson keep them coming
I truly appreciated all the hard work you put into video's.
So glad you're back. It hasn't been the same without ya!
Also, congrats on the new book, it's going to be super good, I can tell.

Thanks Hammerson, your upload is always welcome.
Absolutely a great channel.
I love listening to your stories while I'm bed chilling out before going to sleep.
I finally get to hear the tale of the Mug-Wump! I’ve been dying to know about it since watching old Kokanee Beer commercials on TH-cam but couldn’t find much about it before now.
awesome and congrats on your new book, as a person that studies regional myths and mythology I can not wait to read it, thank you
thanks for exploring the rich history of Northern Ontario

Since you are covering Algonquian legends, perhaps you can do episodes on the Manitou and the underwater panther (Mishipeshu) in the future?
Mishipeshu...THAT sounds fascinating! Now I must look it up to see what I can find out about it?!
and the Kichesipirini Algonquin First Nation by isle des Allumette
Stories are only good if true as possible. Great job!
Everything is on hold when this channel drops. So good!

Heh neat, I visited Cobalt this past summer; I'm relatively local. Never heard about a monster in Lake Temiskaming, gonna have to ask dad about that.
love listening to your voice. you could read the phonebook and I'd listen.
Missed you brother.
Hope you are well.

Welcome back, Hammer!
As someone who grew up in the region around Thunder Bay I appreciate you calling North Bay a “Southern City”
If Cobalt is in Northern Ontario.
I guess Armstrong, or Red Lake are just outside of the Arctic circle lol.

Thank you!

I was raised in cobalt for most of my childhood. This is rather interesting considering I have never heard of any of these things.

Have you done a video on Manipogo yet?
The largest Sturgeons ever taken were in Lake Bakal in Russia, and were of truly monstrous size
There was a hell of a band called the Mug-Wumps.
