Send us a text, tell us your canadian creepy!For centuries, something has been reported moving through the waters of the St. Lawrence River.From Jacques Cartier's 1535 account of a strange white creature near Tadoussac to the famous Lake Ontario serpent, lighthouse keepers, bridge workers, and modern-day witnesses have all described seeing long, serpentine animals gliding through the river's currents. Could these encounters be misidentified wildlife, forgotten folklore, or evidence of something that has remained hidden in the depths for generations?In Part Two of Beneath the St. Lawrence, we trace nearly 500 years of sightings and explore why one of Canada's most important waterways continues to inspire stories of an elusive creature that refuses to disappear.Down the Crooked Path releases new episodes every Tuesday.🌱 PayYourRent.ca is an Indigenous-led grassroots initiative calling on settlers to engage in ongoing, voluntary financial redistribution in support of Indigenous land defenders, sovereignty, and community well-being.This foundation supports urgent needs like housing, food security, legal defense, and cultural revitalization—all grounded in the principle that land back also means resource back.If you live, work, or benefit from life on stolen land, consider learning more or making a monthly contribution at PayYourRent.ca.Justice isn’t a moment—it’s a commitment. Your next creepy obsession starts here. ✨ This episode is brought to you by Fable & Frame Creative ✨Fable & Frame Creative offers Niagara Region portraits and at-home newborn sessions, capturing not just how life looks — but how it feels.
