That had to come from one guy, who years ago, utilized a lizard instead of a gerbil and came up with a crazy story to save embarrassment when he got caught. Lol
Canada always has the best city names, over here in the U.S. we are stuck with New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Billings and places like that. Y’all have Moose Factory, Moose Jaw, Thunder Bay, Whitehorse etc.
So excited seeing you posted!!!! We have some of your books and I can’t read them without hearing being in your voice in my head! (Edited cuz I can’t type worth a darn)
Listening to you speak made me think this is around the 20 minute mark, it made me think of their oral history and how deep it really goes. Like how far back does there oral history go 10,000 20,000 years??? how deep into prehistory does it really really go? Nobody can ever really truly know unless they invent time travel. That’s why I love you and your stories man. They really set my imagination on fire. Not much else does.
16:16 - fabulous picture of the Totem Poles. They carved the animals they saw including Sasquatch and skin walkers. Totem Poles are fascinating and the stories they tell.
Could the lizard-phobia be some sort of superstition streaming from salmonella? If I’m pooping my guts out after touching a snake it lizard, I’d think it’s eating me from the inside too.
As with most Native parables, it's likely. Despite the supernatural and often magical context of their folktales, they are meant to serve as an explanation for misunderstood but mundane, and entirely normal and physical processes and phenomenon. Just like the Wendigo is a cautionary tale against the prion diseases that consuming human flesh causes.
Totally a possibility for the allegory. I think so anyway. Passing over the fire 4 times... fire and smoke are good sanitizers. Most folk stories are parables/allegory. They knew what they were saying. Meaning can be lost over the ages but ancestors had their own science and community care.
I'm a descendant of the stlatlum people many stories of cryptids here and legends I even have direct family such as my dad and 2 of my uncles have seeing okopogo
The same thing happened to me while driving from LA to Phoenix one time. An alien face kept talking to me on and off throughout the drive only later did I realize it was my ex wife who was a stage-5 clinger was haunting me until our divorce was finalized. I'll never forget those haunting eyes and screaching voice barking at me. Stay safe out there men.
The "Bum lizards" or snakes sounds possible, albeit unlikely, considering there is a certain species of spider that is known to eat human intestines. (I couldn't fish out the articles involved, so take what I said with a grain of salt, the correct name and news article involving a man having his intestines eaten by a spider in Australia would be greatly appreciated.)
Ah yes the anal eating lizard another memory from an yearlier Hammerson video...seriously look at lizards in a totally different light..we have big lizards in Australia
I remember hearing a story on another channel about the thing with the antlers that gets confused with the wendigo is called the Wechuge (wes- chūgay). Not sure how true that is but supposedly only a few tribes are aware of it. I also wonder if the lizard thing is where they got the idea for the ass-weasel in the movie Dreamcatcher. Don't know if you guys remember the movie The Last Unicorn but the tale of the Bully reminds me of the Red Bull in that movie. That's a classic with a great soundtrack.
Such prolific, and indepth channel, love it - too bad it doesn't cover the catfish - I tease this caught my attention because the story was made to discourage eating of catfish or added later for the same reason
Me, a native Coloradan: ooh, this should be exciting. I love to hear about new cryptic. Me two minutes in: guess I didn't plan on sleeping tonight anyway.
Indeed. My step-dad told me it's best to always go into the woods/mountains with a gun. Most of the time he said, you will be ok, but it's rarely animals you have to worry about.
Bigfoot, Dogmen and a pregnant Dogwoman, even Adremeleck! I've seen all kinds of them, including Bear Men, and I've had an encounter with a Cat person before... Seen other animal cryptids that have countershading camouflage effects aswell as abilities to cloak or turn invisible... I've had encounters with the deer antlers guy too, having seen through visions of him, and encountered him making sounds like a rapidly snorting deer. I've seen bat winged humanoids...like the appearance of harbingers ...
Those lizards and the association with fire 🔥 are very similar to European beliefs about salamanders. Lol the story about the small snake crawling up a butt 🤣 😮
It definitely sounds like they fear salamanders and newts, not lizards. There really isn't a great reason to fear them, that said if the red newt does crawl inside you you aren't going to have a good time. You might even die because they're extremely poisonous but still, I had no idea they were this superstitious about harmless fossorial creatures from the tiny red-bellied and garter snakes to apparently all amphibians. It's so strange tbh lol.
Also lizard are rare that far north, aren’t they? Meanwhile the Pacific Northwest has the highest diversity of American salamanders outside of Appalachia
@@AubreyCasler-c3p wow, I didn't know that. It's awesome that there's another patch of diversity like the Eastern US, probably not as good but still. I know BC has a couple species of skink including the Alligator lizard but lizards are rare everywhere else in Canada. They probably have some skinks around Ontario but they're INCREDIBLY elusive and rare that far north and there's a good chance the natives never even saw any. I've only seen one in Northern Ohio and it was a fluke by being inside a building, they may as well be invisible outside.
If you want to learn about Newfoundland you can always do the research yourself. Hammerson is killing it with these videos and you're giving him attitude when you should be giving him gratitude.
@@teddy21 You seem like a very fun person with an amazing sense of humor! I've never seen someone so nuanced in the art of reading the intentions and meaning behind someone's silliness and sarcasm on the internet! You sir a true master of Psychology.

The deadpan way he describes the alligator lizard's habit of entering his hosts just gets me every time.
That had to come from one guy, who years ago, utilized a lizard instead of a gerbil and came up with a crazy story to save embarrassment when he got caught. Lol
@@danielmiller2886 I'm pretty sure gerbiling is a myth.
@@alicewilloughby4318 Probably so, but you get the point without being explicit.
It's afraid of fire - well no wonder! It's just a harmless wee lizard, what does one expect?!
Cheers from Okanagan valley British Columbia 🇨🇦
The thought of carnivorous horses always makes me shudder lol
some horses may eat small mammals or birds, to supplement their herbivoran diet.
Great stories.
Squirrels eat mice sometimes
Gogonopsids. Middle Permian part mammal part lizard. Kind of komodo dragon dogs the size of horses.
I am not a fan of the butt snake 🐍 😂
For the next cryptid of Canada, I’d like to see the Manipogo and Gigantic Beaver which were sighted in both Northern & Southern Manitoba.
The giant beaver is part of ice age megafauna, so a Pleistocene relic
Yes!
Oh, I couldn't be more pumped up by a video title than I am right now!
LET'S GO NEW HP
Hello from the island of Moose Factory,ON Canada 🇨🇦 keep up the great work Hammerson, take care. Everyone else peace and take care as well.

Awesome! New video! ❤ Sunday just got better! 🤗
Thank you for ensuring I will now live in fear of the bum lizard.
The P Diddy lizard
@@Thorpheus91
Yikes! 😳😹💯
the very best storyteller the best voice that is soothing and above all what you know and recount makes everyone else look like tadpoles
Happy Sunday Hammerson!!
Bravo!!!
Love what you do bro💪🏼🤙🏼

Perfect, thank you!
What a rich library of information this channel is.
I know right

Thank you for giving me nightmares of the bum lizard! Great video,!
Sunday just got better👏👏👏👏👏

Terrific video, my friend.
So excited that on my night shift this video came out! So auspicious
thats not a saskquatch, its a samsquanch
Those are worth a lot a money.
I fuckin hate those things
Lol
The way she goes
Smokes, let's go.
Deer man with wings and deer legs.... That sounds like the jersey devil
when it talks about that I don't remember where
Wasn't the Jersey devil just a goat with devil parts? Pretty sure it was.
@@MalachiTheWendigo which... really similar.
Hello from Vancouver British Columbia ❤ 🍁🇨🇦
Excellent video!
I can't help but wonder if the black lizards were initially some sort of giant leech creatures, or something similar.
Butt lizards and deerman…. Ok that’s enough internet for me today. Good night all.
Good day everyone! Thank you for the post Mr. Peters! ✌🏼😊
It's grey,dingy and rainy here in Ohio lol,but to here scary stories,see beautiful countryside scenery,makes it idk,better lol..🤦♂️😂✌️🥃
Good day, indeed! 😁🙏
@@steve-0493 👍🏻😊
@@Darquine 👍🏻😊
Good day to you
Another Sunday meal prep with Hammerson Peters. Dig it!
Top tier videos always
You never miss, Hammerson :)
I appreciate your efforts.
Wendigo at Pikes Peak, Colorado? Not a good thing to have one in one's backyard!
The best thing about Sundays❤ thank you hammerson peters❤ I love you so much❤
Great story's
I know the sixth one. It’s generous and understanding landlord. Some people say they do not exist!
Yesss 🎉
Love the historic photos of the tribes people
4am in Melbourne, ✌️
Yowie will catch you bruh
I was wrong about everything too lmao!!
And here we are!oh and it's 2:35pm here back behind ya in Ohio!😂✌️🥃
@lootlovers-oluz9534 I've had something happen in the bush before, probably nothing

Turtles carry salmonella. Salamanders will make you sick from holding them. Their skin is poisonous

Stay safe out there men.
Hammerson…,you rock with your storytelling.Thanks for your gift. Peace from coastal B.C.
Having encountered a bigfoot in SW Oregon and some kind of Not Deer in Idaho, I find myself being more open to the idea that people see weird things.
Listening in Rapid City South Dakota🤟🤟🤟🤟

Yep, heard of them all. Though Thorgeir’s Bull I learned from a previous video from you.

Whats the name of the German book about the lizards? I want to check it out
Fascinating, what is the significance of jumping four times? As well as jumping?

Anybody else suddenly haunted by Eric Cartman's description of 'rainbows?'
Me, a native Coloradan: ooh, this should be exciting. I love to hear about new cryptic.
Me two minutes in: guess I didn't plan on sleeping tonight anyway.
Oh boy, I wonder of I can even be suprised by a NEW cryptid? Let's see. 👀
Would u do a video on Loch Ness please :) thanku from England 🇬🇧
The most scariest creature of all...Man.
Indeed. My step-dad told me it's best to always go into the woods/mountains with a gun. Most of the time he said, you will be ok, but it's rarely animals you have to worry about.

Yes i heard of all of these
Van island here
I do believe that the Cadburasaur exists. Iv'e seen pictures of i'ts carcass.
Invoking fear of a nocturnal oraface penetrating snake makes sense
hearing about Deer-Men & Wendigo reminds me of cases where Dog-men are mistaken for werewolves
Hammerson, have you watched The Terror? Thoughts on the polar bear?
14:11 that nasty bum lizard. 😮😅
Those lizards and the association with fire 🔥 are very similar to European beliefs about salamanders.
Lol the story about the small snake crawling up a butt 🤣 😮
Hammerson!
Holy crap if I saw a deer stand up and run across the road on its hind legs in the middle of the night I would probably never leave my house again 😭
Heard of them!!! Hell l've seen'em all 👹🙉😵
I heard the same lizard story on Nightmares of the Americas podcast
Damn lizards 😅
Is the deerman the same thing as the Not deer?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well absolutely of course my boss walks in while
I have me break to catch my listening about The butt lizard.
15:29: Half expect the lake to be call Wild Human Lake.
Amazing cryptids what about wechuge
Bruh wendigos are one Of the most popular crypids ever
Anyone heard of Spring Heeled Jack?
UK cryptid.
Go to your feed (all thumbnails), and top right click on the magifying glass icon. You will get a search page
It is in England , correct ?
Yep he used to terrorise 19th century London. Was said to wear a strange outfit and be able to leap superhuman heights.
The Lugaroo is also in Louisiana
Sounds like back in the day, having an animal go up your butt was a big problem and therefore fear! 😱
At 4:30 sounds like the Jersey Devil
What about Man Bear Pig!? I'm serial!!!
The only gaunt figures on Pike's peak are hungry tourists lol. You would need to go into deeper wilderness to see anything crazier.
We had the great pubeystank
Good to have a great dread of fire....
comment for the algorithm
I think this is your best one yet Mr. Hammerson Peters😂😊
They are called Not Deer not Deermen

Well that explains why I've never heard of them. They're Canadian😅
Sowry aboot that eh.
Funny to imagine these people, who made nature their b*tch, being scared of little lizards
Lizard genocide over a superstition
