Top 5 Cryptid Legends in the Province of Alberta, Canada - Canada Cryptids

- These are 5 legendary cryptids from the history and mythology of Alberta, Canada. This province definitely has more than just 5 cryptid legends, I just wanted to cover some now and then some more down the road in another video. Cryptids are essentially creatures/beings whose existence has not yet been proven. Some think they are biological entities, and others speculate that they may be more spiritual/ethereal in nature or perhaps interdimensional. The cryptids I cover in this video are the Wendigo, the North Saskatchewan river monster, the Southern Alberta river monster, Bigfoot/Sasquatch and the monster of Lac Ste. Anne.
These cryptids legends vary quite a bit in significance and frequency of sightings. Some have only really been seen in the distant past, and others continue to be spotted currently.
Wherever you are on the spectrum of belief/disbelief, I find it can be interesting to look at cryptid legends within Alberta because it helps highlight Indigenous and European mythology and folklore. And some cryptids seem to be seen a lot more than others, according to eyewitness accounts.
Please leave your comments below with your thoughts on the subject, and I'd be stoked to hear about any personal sightings that anyone may have had!

Very true 👍
I saw one up close in 2020, life has changed ever since
Thanks for watching! What kind of sighting did you experience?
Can you describe?
Just watched 19 of your videos straight over the last several hours. Super refreshing to find a Canadian content creator making Canadian content and actually doing it really well. Keep up the good work man! You’ve got a new regular viewer
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I'm still pretty new to TH-cam/video production and I have a long way to go but I'm glad people are enjoying the videos. There's a lot more cryptid content within Alberta than I thought there would be! I appreciate the support and I look forward to posting many more videos down the road. Cheers mate!
Yup. My x-wife’s mom was a cryptid from Saskatchewan.
1. Stunk
2. Horrible breath
3. Gurgly/growling speach sounds
4. Very hairy legs/armpits/chest
5. Size 18 mens shoes, with her 6 toes
Please don’t blame me, As they say…”love is blind”
lmao sounds gnarly bro
A salient flyover these lake legends. Interesting. Thanks.
I love these old legends too, thanks for watching!
Strangely captivating material.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback dude! My favorite is that crazy fire breathing monster in the North Saskatchewan river, I wonder what was going on there? Cheers mate
Wish you would make your shows longer Sir. I like it alot, it is just to short 🤣💙👍
Hammerson peters is great .
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback! I'm happy some people are getting value from the videos and I definitely want to try some longer videos down the road.
We all know all canadian cryptids are really justin trudou in various offensive outfits.
If that's the case then I'm disappointed, takes the mystery out of it
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He needs the costumes so he won't be run out of province
😂😂😂
The elusive Trudeau supporters of Alberta.

"Constantly eating, constantly hungry, never satisfied."
Great! I'm a Wendigo!
lol I turn into a Wendigo every time I eat a THC gummy bear
Saddle Lake has a monster too. Cold Lake is well known for its version also being over 900 feet deep maybe an underground access.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the info! Good to know, I am less familiar with the ones you mentioned. There are also some old stories of thunderbird sightings in the past as well as some old articles that talk about a strange creature seen in the Battle River. Interesting how many different sightings have happened in Alberta history.
All that’s in there is Sturgeon.. and what’s left of a Glacier..
All the lakes in Alberta connect under ground

Cool!
Love these videos! Please keep up the great work!
There are a ton of haunted places in Alberta; a lot of small towns have a purported ghost or two. Would be great to hear more of those stories!
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback! If you haven't watched it, I did a video on haunted locations in Alberta outside of Edmonton + Calgary where I covered some cool locations. I'd definitely like to investigate further on some more unknown remote Alberta haunted sites!
@@strangenorth Very cool! I will check those out! Looking forward to your next videos!
I lived on range road 13 by Devils Lake my house burned down I seen the fog ghost 2 weeks before it did. And Alberta beach has a rock island not that far off the shores mermaids have been also seen and they cause the crazy storms out of no where that causes the rough waters and there was also the dog man too . Want to hear more my let me know how to contact you thanx
Thanks for the feedback and for watching! Sorry to hear your house burned down, I hope no one was hurt. I'd love to hear more stories about Alberta Beach area, if you have some longer stories you want to share you can send them to my channel email at strangenorthchannel@gmail.com Cheers!
@@strangenorth sure ill send you some
I'd love to hear about these mermaids! I love mermaids and there's legends about em all over Canada. I have a book about ojibwaii mermaids. Where can I find more on these Alberta mermaids
Dangerous creatures
awesome video. thanks for sharing!!
I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Love cryptids, great video! We have some in SK too, would be cool to explore some of those
Much appreciated! I'm actually working on a SK cryptid video right now, interesting legends in that province for sure
Come on now, thunderbird or giant raptor sightings stories of Canada thanks brother 👍
Thanks for watching! I wanna do another AB cryptids video because there are more legends in the province - including the thunderbird. Also old sightings of a creature in the Battle River and potentially a few more
Pterosaurs too
Well that's great! I live in Medicine Hat, and I hike by the river too! A talking serpent huh? Great video though Dude. With love, and respect. Wes Sept
Thanks for watching! Hey if you're hiking by the river and you happen to get video footage of the giant talking snake and send it me I'll give you a Timmies giftcard with at least $20 on it
lol!@@strangenorth
Never heard of the river or lake creatures or now. We have had lots of ghost stories, there is supposed to be a ghost in Banff Springs Hotel.
Thanks for watching! There's definitely ghost stories coming out of that hotel - you might like the haunted Alberta video I did, I included the Banff Springs in that one and some other haunted locations around Alberta. Cheers
Have you done any on alien sightings in Alberta?
Trivia, the Fort Saskatchewan small jail and once gallows site (he was hung) is said to be a haunted location. Apparently a ghost of a woman in past period clothing is sometimes seen. You should look into that maybe? Another lesser known haunted location is the disused train station at Smoky Lake, Alberta. Other wendigo legend is Charlie Fiddler of Ontario in the early 1900s. Info.
Thanks for the information I appreciate it! I'm thinking about doing part 2 videos on some of the topics I've already covered (haunted Calgary, haunted Alberta etc.) and extra ideas are always welcome. Cheers!
Great stories, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback! Cheers
Looks like those Russian scientist exiles who settled in Alberta have caused a lot of problems
if they created these creatures in a lab that's very impolite
The Russian scientists actually took alot of these subjects seriously unlike the joke scientists mostly are in the west.
@@underfire987 And then they were given unlimited funding as means to fight the reds by all sorts deep state actors, being that Russia is an anomaly in world history as having their deep state sent into exile.
Sort of like western colonizers 😏
I always felt that the county of Barrhead west ,(Dolberg Lake)to Mayerthorpe and north to Swann Hills and partially along the Athabasca River valley has a strange & negative jive to it.
Is a place you could bump into the odd wild boar & the occasional grizzly too. Place is teaming with black bear. Definitely pepper spray or firearms for rural pedestrians.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - interesting you mention wild boar, I've been learning a lot about how they've been aggressively expanding across the prairies. Interesting studies on the topic out of the University of Saskatchewan. And that area you speak of is interesting, if I'm not mistaken I think it saw a lot of activity related to the gold rush too. Cheers mate!
We’ve got a lot of lake and ocean cryptids!
We really do, every province has its own lake monsters!
canadian Mr.ballen
oh man I wish, love that guy - if I have a channel 1% his size on day I'll be stoked
@@strangenorth you will my Canadian brother. I'm psychic I can predict these things. See you here next year!
I bet in a couple years he will be
I live in Britain there is no sightings of anything like this America has so many i can think of them all
Yeah there are a bunch of interesting Canadian legends out there - thanks for watching!
There is just not as common but there are many odd cryptid sightings and occasional bigfoot & dogman in the UK
Scotland has the Loch Ness Monster
You guys have a few, Ireland, Wales and Scotland too. Hebrides and Atlantic Ocean offshore.
Ah yes love these kind of videos.
I'm glad my little videos are providing some value, thanks for watching!
@@strangenorth 🤌🫡 keep em coming
I heard of a Bigfoot in Parkland county, where there is a national park
Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback - no way, I'd love more information on that! I'm fascinated with bigfoot sightings within Alberta. Cheers mate!
heard about two you didn't mention one was the reported Alberta REX, a reported large theropod in the 1800s seen taking a cow over a ridge. the other was a reported very large bear about the size of a cave bear.
Hey Terry, thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback!
Cave bears are still sighted in the Nahanni valley and parts of the Yukon. Check out the Partridge Creek Monster, Hammerson Peters has a video about it.
" cryptids." Sasquatch is a being and are a people with also paranormal supernatural qualities. The wendigo is a possessive evil spirit.. that's not some unknown animal... I do appreciate you're video however never knew about this entity that resided in the Sask River very very interesting!. Theirs so much more to this world than what we are being told.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
at 1:10 He said "...the Wendigo is essentially a spirit...". You weren't paying attention to the video.
The big foot is here to protect and keep humans away from sacred plants and land
@@aileenautumnnitemoons9539 mixed view on that i do think theirs many good ones, but I will also say theirs been several bad encounters and ones that do fall into very evil and aggressive states. Treat them like you would any stranger, a stranger that cold tear you apart if they wanted too and vanish on the spot.
One day when you blow up I’ll be able to say I was part of the first 400
I appreciate the support and thanks for watching! Who knows, maybe I'll max out at 400 lol
I'm looking around for anything that matches what my wife and I seen
Like 3 meters tall was standing and then went down low like on all fours it was dark like a shadow shrouded around it it crawled towards us I just told my parter to get in the car and drive I wasn't sure what I seen or if seen anything because I was on drugs and my wife was dead sober but she seen it to
Idk to this day I still haven't seen or heard anything like what I seen
Thanks for the feedback - do you mind sharing the location of your sighting?
I've seen one of these beings 3 times in my life and know of 3 other stories from my reserve area.
What??!! No mention of the Dogman here in Alberta? I'm shocked because there are sightings of this cryptid creature here in Alberta and it gets no mention?
Saying you are shocked about anything Dogman related makes you sound like a little bitch. We're talking about cryptids here papa, don't take it so seriously. Thanks for the exuberant comment though, that's great!
Dogmen are very much supernatural and not really a cryptid, yes I've seen them several times not just the forests but also in the plains.
I've heard of them in south central and south eastern BC but not in Alberta, nothing to stop them going to SW Alberta, the Crowsnest Pass and Frank are not places you hang around at night if just for the Grizzlies and Cougar's.
@@jelkel25 they can be everywhere, I had one pretty much " manifest" in front of me in the middle of the prairies no forest around for many kms.
Dogmen have been interacted with in Peace country, Jasper, an account in Leduc county with one trailing a skidoo, one seen east of Edmonton near Tofield eating road kill 1:00ish in the morning on a weekday (no one on the road). A Hyena style critter in Fort Mac area. Dogman stalking a gun range up there. Lots of sightings.
Howdy stud nice to meet ya.
They’re not animals that haven’t been proven to exist. They are beings that are more spiritual in nature (pardon the pun) than regular animals.
But have you heard about the living Timbit Bears. They are dwarf bears, said to like timbits. Golf ball to softball sized bears.
Tell us more about these bears. I have never heard of them.
Yeah it probably is Mr Trudou prancing around scaring hikers and tourists alike charging them fees for photos of him!!
Well trudeaus aren't welcome in Alberta
I'm getting tired of idiots like you! Keep your politics to yourself! Idiot!
The when to go ?
you ok there little buddy?
Sounds like a bunch of drunk Indian stories 🤣🤣
It's odd that everyone else says "Lake Okanagan" while here everyone calls it "Okanagan Lake".
That is not in Alberta. It’s in British Columbia. Why is The lake even mentioned if it’s not in Alberta?
Oh really? Yeah growing up in Alberta most people say it the other way around for some reason. Thanks for watching!
@@Williameagleblanket lmao because the lake was mentioned in relation to cryptids jackass, no one said it was in Alberta
How many times can one person say "ALBERTA" in a 13 minute film?
I appreciate the feedback, looking back on some videos I do tend to repeat words and phrases too much. Thanks for watching!
@@strangenorthas an Albertan, I appreciate Alberta being said 🙏
lmao grumpy copper
Shut up piggy
Sure ..more like 22...so they can play soccer .....!🙄
22 might be pushing it
shut up lol
Maybe there's something in the water in Alberta to cause these sightings
you never know
What a rude and ignorant statement, such entities have been seen all over North America and Europe even some places in other areas of the world too. Just give you're head a shake.
Get off her phone and go outside and touch some grass, look around, look up, you will see things you've never seen if you look hard enough
The more of this Alberta water I drink, the more things I see! I'm seeing them all over North America now! And, I haven't even left my living room
@@augustsmith9553Bein' polite, which you don't deserve, but half the population cannot smell the odor of bitter almonds, the telltale sign of cyanide. That's a fact, and should suggest even to your prejudiced mind, that two people can have very different experiences in the same situation.
Your twin is creepy dude
Tell me about it, he looks like the part-time manager of a hot topic
@@strangenorth lol
