Go on then tell me all about the historical life and times of the indigenous people prior to the settlers arrival the history of that continent stretches back countless millennia not a few hundred years
Love these videos and your books. It’s made me dig much deeper over the years into my Quebecois descendants. started taking French lessons. And spend a lot of time traveling north to Montreal and Quebec. Thank you!
No offence to the original narrator, he brought authenticity to the voices, but Hammerson’s narration just brings it to life more. A great video and stories!
Infinitely interesting content delivered in a pleasantly digestible manner. Your work is greatly appreciated and I pray that this message finds you well.
Thank you so much ❤ just love all of these stories & the work you put into producing them. Bless you & yours Mr. Peters. Love from Minnesota ❤️🇺🇸❤️ 🇨🇦 ❤
i really enjoy your narration..the cadence..the way you pronounce the french words are easily/enjoyable to listen to..i do my tasks and work as i listen to you..time flies ..thank you and i feel your channel will continue to grow..and it will with this excellent content..
He also does some things about Alaska and at least 2 vids about the Rocky Mountains and the northern part of the continential USA since Canadian myths/legends expand easily.
As an American I love to hear folktales from all over the world. I get too much US based content/recommendations. This channel is nice to see other histories
I have this queued up to wait for that day when I can prop my feet up and drink a good cup of coffee and enjoy a good listen to one of my favorite voices telling a story that has me fully engaged!
I really enjoy the background music, it sets the mood of the story perfectly. I do believe there is some truth to old folklore stories, all though some may have embellished parts. There is always a once of truth. Honor was valued back in those days, to be labeled crazy carried consequences. I often thought of a possible Portal to a another dimension, in which these things could exist and then disappear.
Your video case files remind me off those "A part or our heritage" commercials from when i was a kid always learn something new everytime.these werewolf tales and the headless valley and oak island stories are my favorites but ive watched them all multiple times thanx for all your hard work sir..
I didn't know so many requests came in for your narration of these stories but I'm glad they did! I just saw a video mention La Corriveau and that brought to mind a desire to rewatch your video. But then I remembered that I had trouble understanding the French narrator. He did a fantastic job, my American ears just don't have a good grasp of the French accent. Thank you, friend!! One of my favorite spooky stories you covered! 💀
This could EASILY be made into a movie....a series of Loup-Garou themed yarns presented as vignettes, all told by the various characters of the first story, set against the backdrop of their own struggle against that group of Loup_Garou over the night of Christmas eve. It could be an awesome Christmas horror movie!......and with a twist ending of course (maybe the old trapper or the sergeant could be a werewolf, setting them all up to be munched by his friends outside the fort walls). I could imagine it having a similar feel to that classic cannibal horror movie with Guy Pierce from the 1990's, 'Ravenous' (which is a must watch if you love that pioneers and military in the wilderness type film)
My first time at your site. I really love these types of story, those with an actual historical connection. Well narrated stories, very enjoyable! I happily have become a new subscriber to your channel. Thank you.
My older brother terrified me with tales of the loup-garou when I was a small child. I'm old now and still have a small shudder at the thought. Thanks for the video though, it is - as always - excellent.
OMG, it's been decades since i've heard the term 'Loup Garo', don't even remember where i first ran into the term but seem to have it associated with Cajun lore from Louisiana here in the US. A vengeful Canadian Indian female Loup Garo, eeeep! Gotta say, these are three of the very best spooky tales i've ever heard and i've been around a while. Ending here with a quote from a friend of mine, "There's no such thing as imagination; we're just not smart enough to make all this stuff up." 🤔
@@dwellinj1513 if you like folk tales, in Quebec we have another one, Le Bonhomme 7 heures , He comes at night if you're out past seven o'clock and stuffs children in his bag and takes them away never to be seen again. We're such nice people traumatizing our children with boogeymen, all I know is you had to be home before the sun went down.
I love that story of the Indian squaw... that was a tragic love story. Very sad yet sinister and creepy too. It reminds me of the movie The Howling. And that last story of the flying canoe: that was just hilarious 😆🤣 More stories like these please.
@rebeccabilbrey3524 You're definitely not wrong; I'm with ya on that one lol. Of all the words in the English vocabulary, it's probably not the best word to choose. And another thing - Indians live in India. It blows my mind that it's still normal to refer to native Americans/indigenous people as Indian. Native Americans are just as much "Indian" as the founding fathers were "native American".
He said sqauw in the story, so are you going to correct him as well? That is what they called them back then and no one was offended!!! We are now in the era where everyone gets offended by EVERYTHING!!! IT HAS GOTTEN RIDICULOUS!!! GROW UP PEOPLE!!! FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT FEELINGS!!!
My favorite story you've shared is the "flying canoe story". I have played it for many friends who enjoyed as well. Something inside me believes this story for all it's worth. Thanks

@@HammersonPeters it's definitely not exact but I am curious if they took the original storyline as a basis. Almost too many similarities to believe otherwise including the specific time
There's an old Quebec folktale of them being able to take care of themselves without sucking money from the rest of the country in the form of equalization payments.
I'm from the Appalachians. I got a little bit of Cherokee blood. I can tell you that red skin women have tempers like you wouldn't believe. That Baptiste fellow made a huge mistake by scorning that squaw.
Well he said it in the story several times, so, you going to call him out and correct him? They were called squaws back then and NO ONE WAS OFFENDED!!! I guess we are in the era of OFFENSIVE EVERYTHING!!! People need to just grow a thicker skin today!!! FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT FEELINGS!!!
Take the red thing as close to the end as possible let the video finish, start it over NO ADS AT ALL!!! Maybe one close to the end. It's not as frustrating as an ad every 2 minutes!!!
Hi there. You really need to stop using the term Squaw it is a racial slur. Please stop. I really enjoy your content but this one I had to dislike because of it. I'm Indigenous and it's really upsetting to hear this term being used.
@@solarius5057 I disagree. It is a term that has been used to degrade Indigenous women. I find it right up there with the N word. I myself am an Indigenous woman, as I mentioned, and many if not all my peers feel the same way. Thanks for your comment.

Skua or Squa is an effeminate suffix in the Algonquin language. The spelling isn't particularly critical in my opinion because the Algonquin had no alphabet or written language. Pronunciation is another matter. It is in no way derogatory. It is merely a suffix inferring the effeminate. Anyone can use any word in a derogatory fashion. Let's not allow that to ban legitimate vocabulary in some disingenuous witch hunt founded in ignorance.
I've learned more of Canada history from this guy then any other source.
His knowledge of folklore, mysterious and strange things is what drew me to him a few years back. And I've learned more about the little people and a few others that I hadn't heard from anybody else.

Hammerson never disappoints, always entertaining. Thanks again brother!!
Excellent stories. What a great channel. Love it.
Yes! Hammerson did a video on werewolves! Saving it up for tonight! Thanks so much, its been a hard day and you made it a bit brighter.
La Corriveau is a distant cousin, so the context of folk tales also sits in our family histories. Thanks for this video. 🇨🇦❤
Really dig this channel. The narration is on point, and the folklore is so interesting.❤
this video is such a gift, Hammerson. thank you for being you 🙏

Thanks again ! I always enjoy your work !! 👌🏻✌🏼
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank goodness! I was starting to jones out for a new hammerson peters video🥰🖤💯✌️🤗
Thank you, Hammerson!
Have you ever traveled to Quebec City?
Yes, I’ve been there twice.
I love this! We want more Quebec tales
There are entrancing ghost stories from Quebec that involve a lot of ambient history. There is a vast cultural education to be had through them.

Loup Garou is the spelling in Québec. 😊
@@nicoleperron3315 that’s where the episode (if I remember right) was supposed to have taken place, so I guess the show got something right. 😁

Those were the terms used, both in the era and the story. Given the context it's forgivable.
The Beaver Wars? My imagination took off and ran down the hall, out the door and 4 blocks down with that! LMAO!
Fantastic as always

Really enjoy the stories their nice to listen to in the evening when relaxing before going to bed.
I was about to put on some old Hammerson Peters content before bed and this gem was the first video in my feed
Love werewolf stories!
Love the historical facts and the efforts you put in to your uploads
This is incredible man. Im stuck on all your videos

Awesome.

Good stories 👍 👌 ❤
These stories, while in large part fictional, give the flavour of the mentality of that time.

Very cool! Please feel free to send me an email.
I wanna hear your story..😀
Great video
Is wolfsbane flower the real fleur de lis?
Iris sibirica is supposedly the real fleur de lys
Just what I needed
I liked the french guy's version better but eh, Hamm does great work. Cheers and thanks for all the great videos.
Hammerson, do you happen to know if the film New France is in any way based on LeCorriveau?
I'm not sure. I read the synopsis, and it certainly seems possible.
@@HammersonPeters it's definitely not exact but I am curious if they took the original storyline as a basis. Almost too many similarities to believe otherwise including the specific time

I'm from the Appalachians. I got a little bit of Cherokee blood. I can tell you that red skin women have tempers like you wouldn't believe. That Baptiste fellow made a huge mistake by scorning that squaw.
Obviously not enough Cherokee blood to not know that word is highly offensive to aboriginal people.
@@rebeccabilbrey3524What the word cherokee, red skin or squaw?
@@FlorianMarkRed skin isn't that bad but Squaw is pretty much the N word to natives.
Well he said it in the story several times, so, you going to call him out and correct him? They were called squaws back then and NO ONE WAS OFFENDED!!! I guess we are in the era of OFFENSIVE EVERYTHING!!! People need to just grow a thicker skin today!!! FACTS DONT CARE ABOUT FEELINGS!!!
🤠🖖♨️ Thank you Sir.
Baptiste clearly shouldn't have made a temperamental squaw privy to his realty that she was good enough to bed but not to wed.
Just as I started listening before your mentioned the lou garou I thought of them from Louisiana
I love these. But is this a reposted video? I swear Hammerson Peters has already uploaded this one before. With the same stories and the same artwork
Yes, it’s a repost, but this time I. The one narrating. In previous videos, it was a French-Canadian voice actor.
mindblowing...but i dont understand why the woman was put up hanging public and why for so long ?
11:03 The Beast of Gévaudan was shot dead with a silver bullet.
And Skinwalkers can be killed if you put wood ash on the bullet.
Why are there more and more ads?!
Take the red thing as close to the end as possible let the video finish, start it over NO ADS AT ALL!!! Maybe one close to the end. It's not as frustrating as an ad every 2 minutes!!!
Me, half Quebecois with 25% french fluency. "Wait they had their own shit?"
I'm pretty sure Fort Richelieu is North of Montreal. I think you said South of, but maybe I misheard.
Do a Collab with Bedtime Stories!
Hey guys can we get some likes 👍 on this video please !!!
Hearing the French Canadians use the same to describe the crypid RooRoo as the ones in Louisiana US..?! Very strange, hum🥴😊
Not that strange to me.
A lot of those expelled from Canada during the Acadian Expulsion went to Louisiana
🙋♀️✌🏼😊
I did like his female narrator from his early videos.
His bad luck to mess with a female Lakae/ Lupine...
Why is the post surgeon wearing the garb of a medieval “plague doctor”?
for dramatic purposes I guess
i didn't relise the canadians had so much violenece in their history
We have quite the reputation from the world wars too
Occasionally, a few colonisers get their comeuppance...
They are Cynocephali.
