So glad for another upload. I moved from North Bay in Ontario to New Brunswick now I'm in Alberta to stay all in 2 years. I have been to some of the places you've mentioned in many of your videos. I always share this channel with folks from the city you mention and they always get excited. What I'm trying to say is... You bring Canadians together.
@@prowl06 I worked for Safeway in Edmonton for 51 years. During the boom years in the 1970's Safeway hired a lot of people from Atlantic Canada. These were people that settled down here, bore children, and raised families here. What surprised me was that they would always say that when they retired "I'm going home". And they did. Whether it was Newfoundland, Nova Scotia or New Brunswick they went back. What is surprising is that I knew people who came to Alberta from Quebec. When they came to Alberta some barely knew English. They settled down and made a living in Alberta. Yet when they retired they were content to stay in Alberta. You would think that it would be the other way around.
@@roberteaston6413 i moved out west. And now I’m back home on the east coast. Depending on the day, my return was either the best idea or the worst. But maritimers almost always want to come home.
I'm stopping what I'm doing I'm watching this right now Thank you brother for all your hard work. I'm listening to you from the Bay area in California.
1906, 1926, 1946, and 1976... Odd how all those year dates have a 6 at the end... From 1906 onward with 20 years, 20 years, and 30 years in between intervals...
I'm from Charlton Ont , this is so interesting to hear about this The Blanche river ran beside our farm , i spent alot of time walking down to it through the forest with my dog
I keep stopping watching your videos for a few months at a time, but whenever I return, I LOVE how immersive they are, how they focus on usually obscure incidents in Forteana, and how they're the most Canadian thing on Earth (in fact, last year, your videos and My Pride were the final things that made me certain I loved your country)! And although you don't focus exclusively on the true/plausible stories like Bedtime Stories and MrBallen do, that actually helps because it illustrates that you're not here to educate us on what has happened in Canada, but rather what Canada has believed. P.S. Also, Ichthyostega is NOT a salamander, as it lived roughly 130 million years before salamanders had evolved!
Keep em' coming!! I'm from Northern Ontario...a little town called Pointe au Baril Ontario!! In between Parry Sound and Sudbury!! You are one of my all time favorite YT channels. So good to have you back!! Cheers
I was born in Temiskaming Shores and lived in Cobalt for many years where I served on the local fire department. Thank you for making this video and covering a fascinating local legend I grew up being told about by my grandfather
I'm 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..
My mom was born in Temiskaming, her Norwegian parents got out just before the Nazis occupied Norway. My grandfather survived an earthquake high atop the mill's tower, but somehow lost a thumb. I spent many summers up there, visiting my grandparents and my mother's seven extremely tall brothers 😃👌
I've lived in Cobalt for most of my life. Growing up we heard stories about the Mug-Wump, but also of a bigfoot type creature called Old Yellow Too, was rumored to roam the old mines in Cobalt.
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)
Treaty 9 was also signed in Moose Factory. George Mccalister was one of the main orchestrators of Treaty 9, and was tasked with convincing the various chief's of the area to sign the treaty. He wrote in his journal about "tricking" the chief's of Treaty 9 into signing it. He would placate, and make promises that were untrue. Just to coax the chief's into coming to Moose Factory for the signing. The actual written treaty that was signed, is not what those chief's thought they were agreeing to. Which is why Treaty 9 has a lawsuit against the Ontario and Canadian governments.
I am the manager of a camp on the Shores of lake temiskaming. Maiden Bay Camp. I have been to Devils Rock many times. Drive by it every time I go to town.
This is cool learning about thr place i live i live right on the ottawa river iv bin to all the places he talking about very cool thanks for making this 😊
I'm from eastern WA State, about 200 miles south of the Canadian border. Idk man, something about Canada...the sparse population, the legends, and the endless natural beauty... I'm just mystified by Canada.
Ive swam many times in lake temiskaming when i was in my twenties… sure wish i had heard about the monster ( think id pass on taking a dip in that very cold and deep lake ). I did hear of a story of an entire work horse team that broke through the ice in the winter.. all the horses n team were lost, straight to the bottom of this very deep lake..
I am open to the idea of lake monsters, but there would have to be a half-a-dozen to survive. At least. And if there were half-a-dozen, say, whales in a lake, they would be seen all the time.
I have always heard the term Mug-wump. My grandfather said it's when your mug hangs over a log farther than your wump does! He was joking. He wouldn't explain farther, what it meant.
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.
In the very rural woods of ontario, aroundNorth Bay are very mysterious. MY dads side was raised out ghere and i spent most of my sum,ers put there at my grandparents. About a 3 hour drive up old ass logging roads my family knew about because my great and great-great grandfather were old school lumberjacks. There was an old ass log cabin used by lumberjacks and fur traders. we used as a cabin, we called it The Pine. There was a lake close by that was almost a perfect circle with old growth pine that grew almost to the lakes edge everywhere. It was a magical and strange place. We would spend a few weeks every summer there. Im talking as secluded as secluded gets. No people, no power.the closest town was maybe northbay/markstay/sudbury and it wpuld be hours through the woods by truck. It was way out there Anyway. My last trip up there i was 11 or 12. My grandma and aunties were making dinner, dad and granpa waschopping wood and me, im wandering down by the water, trying to circle the lake. I felt like my skin was electric for a few moments and i looked up znd to this day i have no explanation for what i saw. It was some kind of bird, huge, in the sky, like the size of a horse or larger. It shone in the light i think or it just shined, red yellow orange. Almost multichromatic. Shone brightly, and it flew impossibly slow, its large wings flapping up and down rhythmically. Its head had had plumes coming out the back of its head and it made a sound that i felt in my soul. I tried to follow it, tunning below it but the woods got too thick for me to continue, the canopy almost blocking out thr sun eventually. The light coming from it shone down like the sun, dpeven though the sun was behind me. I am 40 yrs old and ican see it plain as day when i close my eyes.
My Dad told me about a time when he was about 14yrs old him and his friend were in a 14ft canoe on the wabi river when the Mug-Wump (Sturgeon) swam past them with a length longer then the canoe. I also heard at one time that there maybe a cave below the surface of the water at devils rock
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.
Yeah I’ve lived and worked in the north. I now live in an area the to people call north. It’s not the north, for me past north bay is the north. I went to school in the soo, Nothern Ontario is my youth. Lake Superior is my special place, but it has changed over 40 yrs. I will never forget my times in the north. I do miss you northern Ontario. You have made me the man iam now. To the old girls and men who were part of my life as a youth, who are passed now, I do remember you.
I’ve got a treasure cove of true stories from locals in my reserve. I gotta write some of them down and send them out to people who cover super natural stories
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.
That painting of jesus needed to be blonder, blue eyed and paler. Although he was a middle eastern man he actually looked like a swedish vegan who runs a cafe in 2024. 🤷
I am trying to remember the name of it but there is an old haunted Mill in between temiscamang and Ville Marie on lake temisk. There use to be a massive weird old boat there. Creepy spot. Supposedly everyone left at once from there because it was haunted was the story I heard.

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

Temiskamingue, the “min-gue” part is pronounced the same like in “Lemon Mer-in-gue”
Kind of sounds like a huge Musky if you also go by the look of the fish in the carving.

Not that long ago sturgeon grew to the size of whales, I got no problem believing that some small groups likely still reach that size.
I found the video very interesting.I wonder if Bigfoot lives in the vastness
of the land.I am sure he does.
We called a kid in school Mug Wump😂
Or the infamous Inland Dum-Stump of Jutoob Valley...
In the 60s&70s old 0ld OLD saying people were still saying "are you a "Mug - Wamp"" = now i found were it came from! Ontario Canada! W0W!. &meaning
I always watch for signs off highway when travelling up 11
Ok so i fish all summer long in my kayak and in my boat iv had things bump the bottom of my kayak many time but it is just river otters
