1. Wendigo

Hide your wives and your children! In the northern woodlands of Canada’s East Coast, a malicious spirit is said to reside who engages in everything from ravenous desire to murder and even cannibalism, according to the folklore of the Algonquin First Nations group.

He is regarded by many as the personification of gluttony and excess, and those who exhibit similar traits are thought to have been possessed by this man-monster hybrid.

2. Ogopogo in Okanagan Lake

Many people think that the “water monster” Ogopogo, also known as Naitaka, resides deep within Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. Many claims to have seen the creature throughout the years; some have even gone so far as to sacrifice small animals in order to safely cross the lake. It is sometimes characterized as a gigantic serpent or legless dinosaur.

3. Cadborosaurus

Cadborosaurus, the sea snake is known as “The Caddy,” is a scary animal that lives underwater. Now, it’s vital to remember that this supernatural monster is said to have a horse head, a giraffe-like neck, and flippers before you compare this specific leviathan to the Ogopogo. Like a hungry British Columbian Ariel.

4. Nova Scotia’s Ghost Ship

The Northumberland phantom ship is claimed to sail to Prince Edward Island from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in eastern Canada, looking like something out of a horror novel.

According to many who have claimed to have seen this enigmatic ship, it first seems to be a lovely four-mast schooner with white sails and a full crew before being fully consumed in flames right before your eyes. Spooky.

5. Toronto Tunnel Monster

You might only imagine a bustling city of ex-Degrassi actors, wealthy corporations, and sports fans when you think about Toronto. You wouldn’t be entirely wrong, but there is much more to the six than meets the eye.

There may very well be sewer monkeys below their bustling Canadian streets, according to local tradition. Many people think that these Memegwesi, sometimes known as tunnel terrors, inhabited Toronto’s waters before Drake ruled above ground.

6. Thetis Lake Monster of Thetis Beach

Gills merely want to have fun. The famous Thetis Lake Monster of Thetis Beach in Victoria, British Columbia, garnered news when it was spotted by two youngsters back in 1972, even though it was ultimately determined to be a hoax.

Many people compared and thought that this fabled creature looked a lot like the silver-scaled fish-man from The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Some conspiracy theories really think that the crossbred monster may still be present beneath the surface, despite the fact that it was dissected to be complete BS.

7. Loup Garou

Depending on who you ask, Loup Garou is either a cat/human hybrid, a pigman, a French-Canadian werewolf, or an owl. Once it bites you or someone else, you too will transform on a full moon, much as in a lot of the movies and literature that we’re sure you’re familiar with.

The victim of Loup Garou is reported to have endured 161 days in this condition, which would be absolutely awful, as opposed to just one night’s worth of anguish.

8. Mahaha

It should go without saying, but if you happen to see a killer whale with red eyes, a polar bear, or a narwhal, run. Run quickly, and don’t stop. Mahaha is alleged to be otherworldly demons that terrify the Arctic and take on animal forms to conceal themselves.

Those who are caught will face a fate that, in all honesty, we think is better than death. They won’t eat you, starve you, or skin you, hehe… They’ll just keep tickling you until you stop breathing.

9. Big Foot

It’s likely that you are familiar with, has seen photos of, and enjoy this Canadian legend, whether you refer to him as the Big Foot or the Sasquatch. Our fingers are crossed that there is a gorilla/bear-like man with a big heart and a head full of wonder wandering the Canadian forests someplace, despite the mountain of evidence.
