As someone who grew up in the region around Thunder Bay I appreciate you calling North Bay a “Southern City”
Always interesting information!
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?
O*T*T*E*R🦦🦦🦦
Don't wanna get wumped
I live here in newliskeard and I think this is all bullshit but thanks for the entertainment 😅
thanks for the story i always like the old stories
The largest Sturgeons ever taken were in Lake Bakal in Russia, and were of truly monstrous size
You're pronouncing, "Saint Louis" incorrectly.
Hammer!!! LFG boys rights on eh
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.😊
Its no monster, looks like an otter
The thumbnail looks like an otter.
I am always amazed by the beauty of these small Northern Ontario Towns and some dark secrets they can hold. Another fantastic vid Hammerson!
I may be able to answer that for you.
I love your videos. I waited to go to bed to fall asleep with your stories.
Thank you Mister Peters.
I love listening to your stories at 0.75 x speed. You have so much fascinating information to transfer, but my mind can only absorb it at that speed 😅
I like how you pronounce Saint Louis correctly
Temiskamingue isn't pronounced "temiskaming-gway". Remember, the -ue is a francophonic suffix, and the lake itself is just called Temiskaming. So it's spoken as "temiskamong" en francais.
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?

Hey, I see my hometown Moose Factory on the list of communities pinpointed. Moose Factory, ON has a lot of History. Here is poem I wrote about it. Moose Factory
On an island on the Moose River
Where the Bay meets the land
There’s a place of history
Where the Cree and the traders stand
It was already found by those around
But yet it was found again
By people from across the sea
By the Hudson’s Bay Company
In the year of sixteen seventy-three
It was named Moose Fort by the English
But the French had a different decree
They captured it in eighty-six
And renamed it Fort St. Louis
But the Treaty of Utrecht restored it
And the English came and they rebuilt it
It became the Southern headquarters
And supplied posts far and wide
It witnessed wars and genocide
But yet we still abide
It is home to the to people from all walks of life
It is isolated but safe from the outside
It is Moose Factory, it is Moose Factory
(S.Koosees)
It's interesting that the name should be 'Mug-Wump', the english word 'Mugwump' is very old, entering practical english in 1700 or earlier, but the earliest source I've been able to find that discusses its meaning says that it was the by-name of a social/political men's club in early massachusets bay and that it entered from local native dialects, but says that its meaning is uncertain and merely notes that it's a borrowed word that's likely a noun.
Everything is on hold when this channel drops. So good!
Thank you so much ❤
I know southerners want to attach themselves to the purity, and natural beauty of Northern Ontario.
To Northerners, the divide is Sault St Marie.
North of Toronto, doesn't equal Northern Ontario.
Mr peters could you pls research and do a video on the Trout Lake monster of the NWT…might be difficult as the locals dont like to talk about it…
Oh yeah! A new Hammerson Peters video. It's what I needed. Thank you, my friend, for all the work amd effort you put into your videos.
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
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!
These are always good 👍
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..
"Babe, Hammerson Peters just uploaded!"
Better look to the middle class of America's find them alien's soon hhhhhuuuuuhhhhhhaaaaaa
love listening to your voice. you could read the phonebook and I'd listen.
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!
Thanks Hammerson, your upload is always welcome.
The lake sturgeon record mentioned seems a little suspect to me (not your fault). While I've seen the picture of the fish mentioned, it's in black and white and hard to tell what exact species of sturgeon the fish is. I feel like the picture might not be from Manitoba and is actually a picture of a white sturgeon from somewhere out west. As a lake sturgeon angler myself, I've found that a lot of non-anglers tend to think of sturgeon as 1 species of fish instead of the family of fish that the word represents. Around here, you'll hear non-anglers say "I hear they can get over 10 feet long!" when the record out of the river that I fish is 6' 9". Lake sturgeon these days tend to "only" grow up to 7 feet – half as big as the record mentioned – and most fishery records I find have fish in the 7 foot range…All this is to say that I don't think the Mug-Wump is a lake sturgeon or any other type of sturgeon.
☺️
Could you do some stuff about the Vikings in Canada?
Or the infamous Inland Dum-Stump of Jutoob Valley…
Well done HP!
This will blow your mind away guarranteed READ. !!!!!!!!!!!
BLACK HOLE PORTAL THEORY 2023
I have the reason Bigfoot can vanish as per foot steps in the snow vanish.! What happens is this being with extraordinary gifts of special abilities. This explains about Portals where they are located and, bigfoot can use the Electro Magnetism of the earth and teleport back to another Dimension of 11.
t’s easy to think about the idea of a singularity and dismiss it. After all, everything that we know of in physics, at a fundamental level, comes in quantized little bits: particles and antiparticles with a fixed, finite amount of energy inherent to each of them. No matter what tricks you use, there are certain quantum properties that are always conserved and can never be created or destroyed, not in any interaction that’s ever been observed, measured, or even computed. Things like electric charge, momentum, angular momentum, and energy are always conserved, in all circumstances, as are numerous other properties.
And yet, inside of a black hole, the math of General Relativity is very clear: all of that matter and energy that goes into forming it, no matter how it’s initially configured, is going to wind up collapsed down to either a single, zero-dimensional point (if there’s no
net angular momentum) or stretched out into an infinitely thin one-dimensional ring (if there is “spin,” or angular momentum, present). Comedian Steven Wright even jokingly said, “Black holes are where God divided by zero,” and in some sense, that’s true.
While many hope that quantum gravity will save us from the inevitability of a singularity, many don’t think that even that is possible, for very good reasons. Here’s why a singularity at the center of every black hole may be completely unavoidable.
Our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe.
In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe—from the microscopic to the supermassive—may be doorways into alternate realities.
According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the black hole attracts doesn't collapse into a single point, as has been predicted, but rather gushes out a "white hole" at the other end of the black one, the theory goes.

Comment on another Documentary ….
" These can be those individuals that i heard.. as The Cascade Mt. Range that ends in the Fraser Valley of BC. My Strategy with this Beautiful elusive and shy being , sharing our world. "
not directed at you Todd, i look up to you as Truth. ( * other program i commented: STUPIDTY of this program How can you demonize this animal . ????? SHAME .. you are wrong .!!!…Man is violent and Malevolent …. Bigfoot is a Benevolent being. RESPECT.!!!! )
RESPECT…. You need to remain at your campsite and maybe 50 to one hundred feet away place some gifts.
I camped at Chilliwack Lake in the 2007 with my Nephew. early in the morning… i was already awake and heard Bigfoot call across the lake, it was no human voice ,from the volume and intensity of the howl ….in First Nations folklore if you hear him you are blessed.
This is the way to let them know that You come in peace, as they are Benevolent and only Use methods of non violent means, to let you know they are not Happy.
Please move on. However you can become friends, if you are positive minded, come in peace and offer them food, fruit, objects like marbles, shiny buttons, placed on a stump or large flat rock.
I hope you try some of these signs from you that they can understand as a peace offering. Good luck and be Blessed by this elusive Being.
I have been blessed at Chilliwack Lake BC Canada in the heart of our Bigfoot Territory.
First Nations say if you hear them you are blessed as they know and sense where you are. !
You need RESPECT here, so ALL you hunters , when researching Bigfoot.!
Thank you and be safe in the Forests.
Bigfoot is a special flesh and blood being.! with special gifts and the ability to use the earths magnetism field to Manifest itself into our reality from another Dimension. i am learning there are 11 known Dimensions or like realities like earth.
FACT, this Fifth Dimensional being, that is a lifeform or animal was placed on this planet, to Protect and Defend Mother. ( Earth ) and to be a caretaker.! …
Look it up in First Nations folklore and beliefs. ….another belief to Pacific Northwest Coast Salish peoples.
is Sasquatch means " in their Language " …." Hairy Man " or " Wild-Man "
( " The non-naked ape" is my reasoning as Bigfoot is a direct descendant of Gigantopithecus and Us humans, manipulated and created by the Star beings we call Aliens. )
Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape from roughly 2 million to 350,000 years ago during the Early to Middle Pleistocene of southern China, represented by one species, Gigantopithecus blacki. Potential identifications have also been made in Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia

mmmm i think, with a submersible. We can now.!….find out what lurks below in this Lake. ?
fantastique !
Thank you! 😊
