Send us a text, tell us your canadian creepy!In the shadowy waters of Ontario's Lake Timiskaming lurks a legend—one with scales, a serpentine body, and a reputation that’s as slippery as it is strange. Locals call it the Mugwump Monster, and its story winds through decades of eyewitness accounts, folklore, and just enough mystery to keep you looking twice at the water’s surface.Hosted by Amanda Joy, this episode dives deep into the tangled mix of history, myth, and possibility surrounding Canada’s own lake monster. From chilling tales told around campfires to alleged sightings that made their way into newspapers, Amanda explores whether the Mugwump could be a relic from the past, a case of mistaken identity, or something far stranger.Join us as we wade into the murky depths of one of Canada’s most elusive cryptids—where fact and folklore meet, and the truth is just beneath the ripples.🧁 This episode is brought to you by Icing Sugar Photography — capturing the sweet, the spontaneous, and the story behind every smile.
