Classic Sea Serpent Sightings Off Canada's West Coast

[@lunamaria1048]

My family came to British Columbia from Japan when I was 5. In grade 7 we did a huge month length assignment on Canadian indigenous tribes and 2 weeks of it was folklore and legends specific to each tribe. It was at this time that I learned of things such as Sasquatch, lake/sea serpents and that people report seeing these things, all throughout settled history! It created a life long interest and obsession for me on the very topic! From my perspective, finding your channel awhile back was like finding a buried treasure chest full of the most valuable jewels and coins lol. Your topics are VERY well researched, always teach the correct indigenous origin of these creatures of folklore that people claim to see, and you never stray off the path of logic and reason. Brilliant!

[@H.O.P.E.1122]

You are a Canadian treasure in chronicling these stories in a scholarly and stylistically- appealing way. I bought your books. Well done, sir.

[@HammersonPeters]

Thanks so much for your patronage, and the kind words! I hope you enjoy the books.

[@darabennett4316]

Right on. I've already told my husband, if he does not get me for Christmas or my Birthday a new novel from HP, then I will empty out his wallet and buy them all at one time. Tick tock.

[@Sarcophagus74]

I call my wife the Bad Breath Lake Monster. When you said Ogopogo I looked at her and smiled. She was pissed! LMAO

[@dextermorgan1]

Sounds like she needs to go to the dentist. 😊

As a native of ahtakakoop first nation (starblanket) i can confirm of these sightings we live mid south saskatchewan and we have a lake which is said to hold caves or tunnels which we call a "giant snake" lives in and is said to connect to other lake through saskatchewan

[@kingwms32]

its also a story told troughout our generation of our people and this video certainly a possibe or even is true about giant eels in those slimy caves we had divers come and scout our lake but none were able to find the bottom but they did find two caves which they dared not to go

[@JessicaD.-vb9ho]

Almost everywhere has accounts of giant serpents, it's definitely likely. Who would doubt them really.

[@mainemermaid6596]

​@@kingwms32-That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@robwilgenhof4386]

You are a Canadian Legend. ! And a true patriot of our heritage !!! Thank you !! Awesomeness. !

[@robbieburns3564]

Thank you for sharing these stories of Canadian cryptids. As a boy, I loved stories of sea serpents and sea monsters. As an adult now the mystery is gone. Hoaxes, misidentified animals, waves and debris have been common inspirations, but there is always an answer - just that we don't know it yet. Giant eels may well exist and may account for many sightings. Oarfish even look like sea serpents. It's a fun topic, and I still like the stories from these uninformed ages.

[@bellphorion]

Hammerson rocks! Perfect for an educational morning or an ease into sleep!

[@MeRia035]

I absolutely believe these lake & sea critters could exist. After millenia of climate & terrestrial upheaval what safer place to ride it out than in the depths of the deep waters & cave systems? They are very smart to avoid human interactions, obviously. I would rather they be undetected than suffer at the hands of humans, we've seen how that's gone in the past with our animal friends 😥 May they always be safe from harm 🙏 Thank you for your excellent work Mr. Peters, much respect & love from Minnesota ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸❤️

You do the Canadian natives proud by sharing these stories respectfully and in great detail

[@outlawandoutdoorstv9901]

North America and Canada are some of the most beautiful places on earth .

[@bc4198]

3:38 LOL, they don't write them like they used to - the serpent was "a very undesirable companion on a voyage in a small boat" 😂

[@roddmatsui3554]

Another incredible recording, most likely. I have to listen now to find out! Thanks, Hammerson. 👍😃

[@dondeloli7252]

Victoria BC born and bread 54 years really appreciate hearing these stories

[@lenBrill1971]

I look forward to your vids. Im a born and raised BC boy. Watching from Kelowna British Columbia 👍🇨🇦

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

The thing that most of all these serpent stories have in common is underwater caves. Scientists have agreed that there is a huge amount of water within the Earth only accessible through underwater tunnels and cave systems so it shouldn't be that far fetched to have one of these creatures make an appearance once and awhile. We are ignorant of how much there is actually left to discover on this planet we call home ;p

[@jenniferlonnes7420]

Fascinating, as always.

[@alanshaw6161]

More amazing lore! I can’t wait for a new audiobook and a paperback version too! The best and most consistent channel on KZbin!

[@Sandbarfight]

Another one!!!! Thank you for all your hard work. I appreciate what you do.

[@PUBHEAD1]

So awesome. Just finished my Sunday garden chores and now relaxing with a great HP video.👍

[@beebester4106]

Never disappoints! Thank you again.

[@EREBO95]

I know a guy that was sitting on a bridge looking over the Columbia river in northern Oregon and seen the shape of a giant water serpent swimming

[@mudiusp6050]

I have a friend who saw what he describes as a sea serpent which surfaced at a lake in Oregon too.

[@EREBO95]

@@mudiusp6050 I’m thinking these magical creatures are not bound by any kinds of barriers. And like many ancient serpents and dragons they could fly and go as they please.

[@petervanassche2010]

Really interesting, thank you!

Noticed the sweeping shot of quadra Island looking at mudge point, shot from Campbell River! I love the discovery passage! Seymour narrows, Johnstone straight!

More more more sea monsters Hammerson!!!

[@Naughtism]

It is something it also comes into fresh water. There is a few lakes it frequents on the island

[@shayneennis6691]

Wow! This things description sounds extremely sounds like what Clayton Mack saw and was written in his book white guys and grizzly bears. I remember he described its body shape ,length and jet black color. It's a very easy read and some interesting stories of a couple bigfoot sightings he experienced. Clayton Mack was a first nations hunting guide.The short chapter he explains of when he experienced the sea serpent sounds absolutely true.

[@mainemermaid6596]

Interesting. I'll check out his book. The same creatures have been seen in the Pacific, Atlantic, Great Lakes, and other lakes connected to the sea, worldwide. There may still be some around, but it seems they're a prehistoric animal that's close to extinction. (I wonder if the legends of dragons described in some cultures, were these animals. There are also many tales that came from sea captains, many years ago, about sea monsters that may be them.)

[@shayneennis6691]

@@mainemermaid6596 he was from Bella Coola, it's written by his word of mouth so it's kinda fun to read this way, you get a feel for how he speaks, he's intelligent but not educated. I think his lawyer recorded his stories and then his lawyer wrote them for him. I couldn't put it down, I read it in a day. Many fascinating stories.

[@lizziesangi1602]

Though I have never seen any such creatures, I thoroughly believe there are "things" in large bodies of water. The Lakes in Minnesota are huge. When looking out over those bodies of water no one can tell me there are not "things" in those waters.

Since this video, I want to see the video about the cadborosaurus and the infamous Mermaid sighting on Vancouver Island.

[@markneeley4288]

These serpents must be caddys. For there cannot be a number of different sea serpents living along the Pacific coast of North America. Big sea serpents have been seen in San Francisco Bay up until the late 90s, but not reported since. Caddys must have a large range along the coast. Thanks for sharing.

Ty so much when i get on youtube and see you b posted Boy i cant click fast enough Take care up there ok Love and reapect from VIRGINIA

Enjoyed the stories Ham

[@NaneelQueenOfDarknes]

How sweet to just get off work and pop into the canoe down to Van lol Sea monsters an all would be a welcome sight.

[@B_heron]

Hammerson, I love the soundtrack choice!! Where did you find this music??

[@HammersonPeters]

Some of it is stock music I found on Pond5. Some of it is of my own composition.

[@JessicaD.-vb9ho]

The picture that older couple took that most people state is a dog with some kind of headgear on, blows my mind, i get how people can see a dog, it's because they didn't actually look look and really examine it.

[@JacquelineWachell]

Three of us Saw the ogopogo in skaha lake, from up in a valley side home....some think the lakes go to the ocean...

[@sasqetshenkley1190]

Comment for your metrics. 👍 keep doing the Lord's work.

I live in Kelowna and still waiting to see Ogopogo! Maybe one day?

[@teuth]

hey do the natives of the south west coast have any stories about giant pacific octopus?

[@mugwugthemagnificful]

So, a 40' eel is ok?

[@SouthDetroitFishing]

Oarfish

[@LittleKitty22]

I hope the sea serpants off the West Coast of Canada stay in the water! Just keep them where they are. We don't want them coming up causing havoc. They are much safer in the water anyway... humans would only harm them.

[@mikegyver3193]

I always wondered why the native Indians around the world had art that matches the tower of babel🤔

[@JessicaD.-vb9ho]

I'm sure somewhere in the archives of their oral history they have some for that event.

[@ffliberty]

Might be art that was there before them. Isle Royal has evidence of copper mines originating to 5000BC with Egyptian copper know to come from North America Also, some First Nations are thought to be Hebrew lost tribes escaping to the far West

[@brandonjerome]

[@glennlee6274]

a 40' giant slimy eel isnt a sea monster???

LA, Get over yourself and stop trying to be offended over nothing. Nobody is disrespecting you. Cancel culture has destroyed way too much. People are so sick and tired of dealing with people like yourself who get so easily offended.

[@vovin8132]

lol I've never met a native that didn't call themselves Indians. I grew up with them in small town BC. If you don't like it then give up your special privilege ID card given to you from Indian Affairs.

[@mainemermaid6596]

I used to live in Nahant, Massachusetts (an island, about 25 miles north of Boston). In the 1930s, a giant sea monster was seen and photographed in the bay between Nahant and Swampscott. You can find pictures and local newspaper articles about it. Interestingly, it was a giant snake like creature, also described as having the head of a horse, with 2, short, antennae, coming off the head, with knobs at the ends. I believe it was seen for a couple of Summers. A couple of years later, off the coast of Gloucester MA (a town further north, up the coast), a creature with the same description was accidentally caught in a fishing net and kld. The fishermen attempted to take it back with them, by dragging it along side their boat, but they still had work to do, and by the time they were halfway back to the docks, sharks had eaten much of it, so they ended up releasing the remains into the sea. That same description was given for Champ, in Lake Champlain, and Chessy, in the Chesapeake Bay (MD/VA).
