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
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 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.

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....!
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!
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
I'm from Toronto. I can confirm there are Tunnel Monsters. I've never seen one but I did see signs of them. I don't go down in the Toronto Tunnels anymore. You just feel like you're not alone and you're being watched.

@@strangenorth Tons of Tunnels. Old Sewers that are no longer used. As well old Subway Tunnels that are no longer in use. The Military Dug a Ton of Tunnels during the war with U.S. As well. Old Fort York. Casa Loma. My High School Danforth Tech was even used as a Fortress. There's Tunnels and a Firing Range. A basement under the Basement. Just a lot of old infrastructure in General in the Greater Toronto Area. Have a Great Week Brother!
@@rabbithole8592 That's cool, it was an interesting thing to learn as I looked into the subject and I love the idea of a tunnel monster. Definitely many legends and stories over time about people encountering strange entities in subterranean environments, it's a fascinating subject with many rabbit holes!
@@rabbithole8592I think high schools with firing ranges were common in Canada after WWII, my high school in Windsor had an underground shooting ange as well, never got down there because of cave ins but a few years earlier it was a common hangout for anyone skipping class as you could access it from the nearby park
@@iainwilson1863 Were they always schools or were they old forts converted into high school!? Danforth Tech Collegiate in Toronto looks like a Castle. And I the centre there's an empty space or square. It's apparently haunted as well. I went there for 5 years.

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!
Thanks for watching, glad you like this one - when you were growing up was it a pretty strong legend around town? I love Canadian mythology and folklore. Cheers mate!
I’ve heard some pretty skin crawling bloody evil screams from the credit river forests before and I’ll never ever forget how scared I was and how fast we ran out of there so I know what you mean .
There was a very scary sounding scream on a video a while back in a forest where everyone in the comments thought it must be otherworldly and pure evil. Turned out to be a horny Bobcat lmao. Animals are almost always the cause of scary screams and not a small amount are usually just in heat screaming like tortured souls.
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
This is such a cool channel! I’m subbed now, I’m so glad this was put in my feed! Usually all the cryptid and in just general most of my TH-cam feed is Americanized, glad we can have some Canadian centred content on here!

When I was a kid tubing and playing around in Dollars Lake, Ontario with my brother and a friend I was in the middle of the lake and saw something surface that looked like the back of a whale coming up to surface as it was take a breath. But there was no air hole and seemed like it was longer than a whale. I’ll never swim in that lake again.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - wow that sounds wild, I have a big fear of being in water with a creature like that. Around what year was that? Cheers mate!
@@lonewolf5896 It was pretty big to be a lake sturgeon, the top of the back looked to be over 3ft wide. And looked to be over 12ft long. I thought it was a bait ball swirling around in a circle cloud on the surface at first but it was definitely not that.
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!
you should put links to all the things referenced in the description. that would help people continue research and see what you saw to make the video. good job i never knew about a few of these.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - fair point, I could really start doing more of that. I'm pretty new to TH-cam/video production and I'm striving to improve. 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
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).

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
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 ….?

Mike Paterson, Sasquatch Ontario helps us to understand a real relationship that is available between man and our big brothers. He's been an invited guest speaker several times, many places. Nice to see someone trying to remove the fear mainstream media dwell on.
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.

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!
Been in Ontario North and South all my life. Saw no cryptids yet but have seen some weird lights flying around. The native tales I've heard, say that the Sasquatch creature(s) was an ancient human tribe that preyed and ate other tribes and chose not to be civilized. Who really knows that happened all those years ago. That's why these legendary stories are awesome, they survive the test of time.
I'm interested in that cryptid because it definitely has a lot more sightings than the other ones and factors largely into Indigenous myth and folklore - does your aunt live in Ontario? Sasquatch is traditionally associated with the Pacific Northwest but there have been major sightings across North America. Cheers!
@strangenorth my family didn't live in houses till the early 60s, trappers by trade and Ojibwe. With many many stories of all kinds of sorts of creatures. I have numerous stories of experiences
@@leokeesic3657 Interesting, I'd love to hear more of your encounters if you're cool with sharing and have the time. You can also email me at strangenorthchannel@gmail.com. Cheers dude
Re: Sasquatch, be sure to check out the trilogy by SunBow TrueBrother (I have a breakdown of the best quotes on my channel). A lot of information shared in those.

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
i live in Barrie, heard a bunch of stories of the igopopo growing up. cool to see it in a video. the statue of the igopopo is down town, across from the big Barrie dream catcher.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I was surprised at how many cryptid legends there were in Ontario, and there are even some I didn't get to in this video. I may do a part 2 video down the road, this one was way more popular than I thought it would be! Cheers mate
@strangenorth wow, a part 2 would be really cool 😎 I recently discovered you're channel and have been binge watching videos on my free time. Love the work, keep at it chief
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.

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
Thanks for watching, I always imagined it would be cool living on a lake - spent a lot of time at at Lac Ste Anne in Alberta growing up. Cheers mate, have a great week!
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!
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.
I grew up on the shore of lake Simcoe and this is somehow the first time ive heard of the igopogo. The playground with the igopogo pictureed in the video is one i went to as a child, it makes a lot more sense now
Thanks for watching - you know what, I grew up spending time at Lac Ste. Anne in Alberta and there's a lagend of a lake monster there too but most people haven't heard of it. Who knows about some of these stories, but I enjoy Canadian myths and legends. Cheers mate, have a great week!
Close to Savant Lake Ontario 2 years ago my cousin had a had her children playing down by the lake. Suddenly she heard them screaming. Then as she was running down to the lake, she saw a large rippled splashing and the children were screaming that there was a giant snake trying to get them. A special needs person that lives close to the water will not go anywhere near water because he says something large lives in the lake and its not nice. People have hit with their boats and had a stringer of fish ripped off the side of the boat. We have one and I consider it dangerous
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to leave feedback - very interesting, I appreciate you sharing that information! I didn't know about that particular lake monster and additional information is always welcome. I actually plan on doing an Ontario cryptids part 2 video down the road because there are other stories I didn't get to in this one. Cheers mate, have a great week!
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

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
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

In North Western Ontario the Ojibwe call Sasqautch, Sabe. Pronounced saw-bay. Sabe is part of their 7 teachings. Each one is an animal. It's not my teaching to teach so I won't. But it's on TH-cam if you are interested.
Appreciate the info thank you, I'm way less familiar with the folklore of Eastern Canada and I'm looking forward to learning more about that subject. Cheers dude
I’m from south western Ontario, Aylmer -port burwell area, hells gates is a cool old mansion that’s known to be haunted. Sadly the mansion now has fallen into the lake, but is known for American raiders coming across in the 1800’s and pillaging the plantation house and now you can see apparitions of men from a different time

After living alone for 5 years on 30 acres in northern Ontario I ran across a devil monkey. I even chased after it getting to within 20 feet to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Terrifyingly real these creatures exist
@@strangenorth I enjoyed the video and all the recommendations for other strange creature channels. It was about 5 or 6 years ago. I'm fairly convinced most of these creatures are at least partly supernatural and not all of this world. Cheers!

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.
I do think I saw the igopogo maybe 7 or 5 years ago in Cooks bay near Balfour beach. I remember I was in summer camp and it was are turn to go out to the water park. And I was looking out towards the lake and I saw these unusual waves coming from seeming nothing. I pointed it out to everyone on the park and nobody could see anything to be making the waves. I never told anyone becuase I thought it was just a loon or something else but after learning about the igopogo it starts to make sense.
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!!
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
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!!!
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...

Don't go seeking for these demons...because you'll find them. Cast them off from you in the Mighty name of Jesus.

God bless you, hope you call on Jesus because He truly is ALIVE.👈
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.

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
@strangenorth thanks for the shout out. My son mentioned that you shouted me out. Much appreciated. ❤
You bet, I appreciate your channel because it helps keep Canadian mysteries alive! 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.
😂😂😂😂
Lol facts. Is so funny seeing this local lore on TH-cam.
Also known as Cidiots
😂😂👍👍
Looking forward to a video on Nova Scotias cryptids! New subscriber here!
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!
I LOVE HAMMERSON PETERS. I'm from northern Ontario. love this stuff
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!
@@strangenorth no. You give information and I know that I appreciate it.
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: Yes it’s true what Ernest seen in the tunnel… yes I too have seen the creature twice..both physical form plus seeing the eye shine ✨
@@scarborosasquatchstation1403 Seeing that thing would be terrifying. Where in the city did you see it?
@@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....!
I find the Dogman creature more terrifying than Bigfoot. 😨 Fascinating video about Canidian cryptids.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - that one is pretty interesting! Cheers mate
Cool video. I'll be sure to check out more. Nice background setup too btw. I really like the vintage style posters and the Lego sets.
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!
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
@@gupford24oh that can be an eerie place! A lot of history there! Love NS.
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

I'm from Toronto.
I can confirm there are Tunnel Monsters.
I've never seen one but I did see signs of them.
I don't go down in the Toronto Tunnels anymore.
You just feel like you're not alone and you're being watched.

@@strangenorth Tons of Tunnels. Old Sewers that are no longer used. As well old Subway Tunnels that are no longer in use. The Military Dug a Ton of Tunnels during the war with U.S. As well. Old Fort York. Casa Loma. My High School Danforth Tech was even used as a Fortress. There's Tunnels and a Firing Range. A basement under the Basement.
Just a lot of old infrastructure in General in the Greater Toronto Area.
Have a Great Week Brother!
@@rabbithole8592 That's cool, it was an interesting thing to learn as I looked into the subject and I love the idea of a tunnel monster. Definitely many legends and stories over time about people encountering strange entities in subterranean environments, it's a fascinating subject with many rabbit holes!
@@rabbithole8592I think high schools with firing ranges were common in Canada after WWII, my high school in Windsor had an underground shooting ange as well, never got down there because of cave ins but a few years earlier it was a common hangout for anyone skipping class as you could access it from the nearby park
@@iainwilson1863 Were they always schools or were they old forts converted into high school!? Danforth Tech Collegiate in Toronto looks like a Castle. And I the centre there's an empty space or square.
It's apparently haunted as well. I went there for 5 years.
alright so now i can use this to plan a very specific road trip this year lol (great video!)
I appreciate it, thanks for watching - enjoy your road trip! 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 spent 3 months at my cottage on Shawanaga lake. I heard screams that would make you skin crawl.

I’ve heard some pretty skin crawling bloody evil screams from the credit river forests before and I’ll never ever forget how scared I was and how fast we ran out of there so I know what you mean .
There was a very scary sounding scream on a video a while back in a forest where everyone in the comments thought it must be otherworldly and pure evil. Turned out to be a horny Bobcat lmao. Animals are almost always the cause of scary screams and not a small amount are usually just in heat screaming like tortured souls.
That's when you leave an offering in the forest and pray they leave you alone, whatever it is
Bobcats.
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!!

I don't know if they are cryptids exactly but Ottawa sure has a lot of weirdos I doubt are human 😅

When I was a kid tubing and playing around in Dollars Lake, Ontario with my brother and a friend I was in the middle of the lake and saw something surface that looked like the back of a whale coming up to surface as it was take a breath. But there was no air hole and seemed like it was longer than a whale. I’ll never swim in that lake again.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - wow that sounds wild, I have a big fear of being in water with a creature like that. Around what year was that? Cheers mate!
Sturgeon...
@@lonewolf5896 It was pretty big to be a lake sturgeon, the top of the back looked to be over 3ft wide. And looked to be over 12ft long. I thought it was a bait ball swirling around in a circle cloud on the surface at first but it was definitely not that.
I came from Scotland ..I'll never swim in Loch Ness either.
Born in Nova Scotia, from Ottawa Ontario. Love these videos. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the videos!
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!
you should put links to all the things referenced in the description. that would help people continue research and see what you saw to make the video. good job i never knew about a few of these.

I love that! You too :)@@strangenorth
U mean homeless people who live in tunnels to avoid other people
Been in Ontario North and South all my life. Saw no cryptids yet but have seen some weird lights flying around. The native tales I've heard, say that the Sasquatch creature(s) was an ancient human tribe that preyed and ate other tribes and chose not to be civilized. Who really knows that happened all those years ago. That's why these legendary stories are awesome, they survive the test of time.

And if you want to know about Sasquatches. They like apples and oranges because my auntie feeds them. They pass by and they leave her gifts
I'm interested in that cryptid because it definitely has a lot more sightings than the other ones and factors largely into Indigenous myth and folklore - does your aunt live in Ontario? Sasquatch is traditionally associated with the Pacific Northwest but there have been major sightings across North America. 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

i live in Barrie, heard a bunch of stories of the igopopo growing up. cool to see it in a video.
the statue of the igopopo is down town, across from the big Barrie dream catcher.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I was surprised at how many cryptid legends there were in Ontario, and there are even some I didn't get to in this video.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down...
Thanks for watching!
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.
You should probably check yourself into long term care. You are not mentally sound.

@@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.

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.
I grew up on the shore of lake Simcoe and this is somehow the first time ive heard of the igopogo. The playground with the igopogo pictureed in the video is one i went to as a child, it makes a lot more sense now
Thanks for watching - you know what, I grew up spending time at Lac Ste. Anne in Alberta and there's a lagend of a lake monster there too but most people haven't heard of it. Who knows about some of these stories, but I enjoy Canadian myths and legends. Cheers mate, have a great week!

Close to Savant Lake Ontario 2 years ago my cousin had a had her children playing down by the lake. Suddenly she heard them screaming. Then as she was running down to the lake, she saw a large rippled splashing and the children were screaming that there was a giant snake trying to get them.
A special needs person that lives close to the water will not go anywhere near water because he says something large lives in the lake and its not nice.
People have hit with their boats and had a stringer of fish ripped off the side of the boat.
We have one and I consider it dangerous

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

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
Thought for sure Windigo wouldve made the cut. Seeing as its originally an Ojibwe cryptid.
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!

1:37 I’ve grown up in Thunder Bay and been to many little towns and bands around the lakehead heard many times lake Nipigon has one living in it

In North Western Ontario the Ojibwe call Sasqautch, Sabe. Pronounced saw-bay. Sabe is part of their 7 teachings. Each one is an animal. It's not my teaching to teach so I won't. But it's on TH-cam if you are interested.
Appreciate the info thank you, I'm way less familiar with the folklore of Eastern Canada and I'm looking forward to learning more about that subject. Cheers dude
@@strangenorth well you are at it look up Deer Lady/woman.

@@davidedwards3838 appreciate it, cheers
I’m from south western Ontario, Aylmer -port burwell area, hells gates is a cool old mansion that’s known to be haunted. Sadly the mansion now has fallen into the lake, but is known for American raiders coming across in the 1800’s and pillaging the plantation house and now you can see apparitions of men from a different time
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - good to know, Ontario has some really interesting history. Cheers mate, have a great week!
@@strangenorth love the channel bro, you too ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Canadian Wendigoon
lol that's a new one I like that
I grew up beside the Mohawk reservstion. I swear ive seen the Monkey dog by the grand river before.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - Ontario has way more cryptid legends than I thought there would be and I may do a part 2 video down the road. Cheers!
After living alone for 5 years on 30 acres in northern Ontario I ran across a devil monkey. I even chased after it getting to within 20 feet to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Terrifyingly real these creatures exist
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - wow that's crazy, did that happen awhile ago? Cheers
@@strangenorth I enjoyed the video and all the recommendations for other strange creature channels. It was about 5 or 6 years ago. I'm fairly convinced most of these creatures are at least partly supernatural and not all of this world. Cheers!
The only real moster in Ontario is trudeau
Ontario's real Monsters can all be found inside Queen's Park.
I didn't want to make fun of them I heard they're sensitive
@@strangenorth fair enough. And they are Very Sensitive.
"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.
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.
Was it happening in the club or people that went there saw them somewhere else?
@@nowbacktoyourprogram
It was a dance club in the 90s, people were seeing things in and out of the building.
@emperorhadrian6011
I used to go there sometimes that's why I asked.
Not surprised.
@@nowbacktoyourprogram
My parents met there, lol.
@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.
Doug Ford ?
I do think I saw the igopogo maybe 7 or 5 years ago in Cooks bay near Balfour beach. I remember I was in summer camp and it was are turn to go out to the water park. And I was looking out towards the lake and I saw these unusual waves coming from seeming nothing. I pointed it out to everyone on the park and nobody could see anything to be making the waves. I never told anyone becuase I thought it was just a loon or something else but after learning about the igopogo it starts to make sense.
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!!
My great-grandfather was once confused for the igopogo when he went snorkeling in Lake Simcoe.
lol I was once confused for Donald Sutherland with AIDS when I was swimming at my local community pool
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
Those will be in the part 2 video, thanks for watching!
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!!!
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!
Im from nova scotia do one for here please theres alot you can cover
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I plan on covering the cryptid legends in the Maritime provinces down the road. Cheers mate, have a great week!
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.👈
Thanks for watching!
I have an old friend who said she saw something strange in Meaford Ontario when she was a child.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - do you remember what kind of creature they saw? Cheers mate
The cabbage town one my mom has hung there since the 50s and has never seen or heard that and Ive been hanging there since the 70s
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I love that old legend! Cheers mate
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.
Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - seems like that legend goes back a long time! Cheers mate
@@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.
Huh, I live near Okanagan lake in BC (where Ogopogo is from), I didn't realize that we had a copycat!
Yeah it seems like the Ogopogo has inspired the naming of other lake monsters, I love these Canadian legends. Cheers mate!
I live near west of hamilton. in 2013 we had a panther sighting, it is lead to believe that it migrated from the states.
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
