Little People in Ontario: Subscriber Sightings

[@canadianmammoth]

Hi everyone, I'm the J.R. mentioned in the video. Here are some more details if anybody is curious. The tracks appeared and disappeared on crown land. The idea of the tracks originating and closing in a loop was ruled out because there was about 3km of trackless sandy road before they appeared. After they appeared, they only disappeared in spots where the road became completely gravelly or rocky - which was never more than a hundred yards or so at a time. I am intimately familiar with the area through which the tracks passed, and this has led me to de-prioritize some of the more seemingly likely explanations - as well as foul play - due to the literal nature of the area. The spot where the tracks appeared is kind of a hellhole - a still-flooded old beaver meadow on the tail of a huge headwater swamp that would be nearly impossible to go through on foot. This made me downplay the theory of a lost person since, why would a lost person even be here? The area is hashed with atv and logging trails, (and by the way, every intersection has well-marked signs), but there are no campsites or cabins anywhere nearby. The nearest campsites had multiple trails in between here and there, so if a camper had gotten lost they couldn't have gotten into this block of wilderness without crossing a road to get here. And if a person somehow had gotten lost here, why would they descend into the swamp? There is easily navigable upland forest all around - and people normally go for the paths of least resistance. It's also worth mentioning that when the tracks appeared, they just appeared in the middle of the road going straight. The person didn't walk out of the ditch or anything. If we rule out lost person, we still have to rule out the possibility of somebody intentionally making that route - as Hammerson so colourfully put it, a hardcore hippie, or a nudist, or somebody doing some onlyfans thing. This was by no means our worst mosquito year, but this WAS during the height of mosquito season, and the horse/deer flies were already out as well. Walking that distance in the bush at the height of bug season barefoot - or worse - doesn't seem like something anybody would want to do. The gait of the tracks was never running - always walking at an average pace, splayed slightly but not enough to suggest the person was carrying anything heavy. If you have every been bombarded by mosquitoes for any distance, you start running. This person never did. And say somebody wanted to do it for the experience - how did they get there? They didn't walk there or get dropped off - no footprints (barefoot or otherwise) or tire prints led to Point A. Whatever made these tracks, only went in one direction, and it was the only thing that was on the trail before me, after the rain that morning. Still, there is likely some plausible explanation, but it's safe to say whoever made the tracks would have a heck of a story about why they walked that path, and they likely did not have a good time. In absentia of such an explanation, we are left with this mystery.

It sounds like a small Sasquatch could have left those footprints...

[@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing]

one possibility is a person wearing shoes with a footprint on the soul, SAS would do it in Vietnam as well as reverse footprints to give a false direction

[@k.m.428]

Good suggestion. There used to be toe shoes that were popular a few years back too. It still doesn't explain how they appeared out of no where though.@@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing

I live in Norway and my uncle breeds horses, Lyngshesten. The smallest Norwegian horse breed. Nissen is a supernatural being in Nordic folklore who lives near people. Nissen/The elf is a small man dressed in gray with a red hat and a long beard. He is very strong and helps with the farm work, if on certain evenings, especially Christmas Eve, he gets good food and drink. If he is not treated well, he becomes vicious and can harm people and animals. My uncle had a horse that was very sick and that meant a lot to him. The vet often visited, but the horse never fully recovered, even though my uncle kept putting food and drink out for Nissen in the barn. One evening when the horse was very ill, my aunt baked a large cake and put it to Nissen. The next day uncle found the horse's mane braided in a beautiful braid and the horse was healthy and strong for the rest of its life.

I went for a walk one time in the woods in the evening, and next to a tree well off the trail left my hand print deeply imprinted in the snow. Early the next morning, which was 12/21/19, I went back after the night there was a light dusting of snow, so my hand print was slightly covered but next to it there was the clear deep fresh imprint with palm lines and everything, of a small child sized hand, right next to my hand. The weirdest thing was that in the snow around it, and nowhere to be found, were there footprints of anything, no animals no people nothing. It just seemed to form out of thin air. I did take pics and it still baffles me. No one else had been out there. This was in British Columbia.

There are definitely things in the world series. And in the caves. I have had 26 encounters with the nephilim, Giants in the woods of Northern ontario. On one occasion me and four others were going to be killed for sure and the Lord Christ showed up on the clouds and saved us from certain death. Find him. Believe me reality is Stranger Than fiction. The Lord's been showing me these things since I was a small child and most of the time they were Witnesses with me, or I would have thought I was going insane.

I was camping with deep in Ojibwe territory a few years back, by myself setting up camp atop one of the rolling Stone Hills of the area. There was another Hill which peaked maybe four hundred metres yards away from me, with a stream running between the two. On the other side of the far Hill, just out of sight behind the peek, I could hear the sounds of a young female child. The sounds were not distressed at all, but laughing and friendly chatting, although I was too far away to make out any words. At first I thought, there is a little girl alone out in these Woods, should I go help her? I had to drive hours down overgrown logging trails to get where I was. But I remembered all the native tales of evil Forest spirits impersonating humans and luring them off, and there was no way in hell I was going over to the other side of that hill to inspect. I was like, I'm staying right where I am with my hatchet in hand, I'll be making lots of noise, if she needs help she can find me. That "little girl" was there for an hour to 90 minutes, before just disappearing as suddenly and mysteriously as it began. It is not the most eventful experience, but I swear I heard it vividly

My Grandfather told me stories of finding small skulls along the riverbank in our home town, out west, here in Australia. When the floods would wash down river, he said you could easily find skulls and bones in the dirt, where the water had eroded away the silt along the banks. He used to describe these skulls as looking like those of various monkies. Smaller than human skulls also found peering out of the earth after the floods. Another thing I remember him talking about were the short "mud-men" that would come into the township many, many long yrs ago and menace the livestock on certain farms on the outskirts of town, always at night. These little men preferred to target chickens, ducks and lambs when in season. Once they had their catch, they would make their way back out into the thick scrub.

[@gordrilla]

Driving down a side road near Red Bay Ontario in Grey-Bruce. I was a passenger, my wife driving, with my mom and niece in the back. I watched something strange for about 5 seconds before my wife slammed her brakes on and said at the same time as my niece "Did you see that!". I said "Don't say what you saw. Both of you say what you saw on the count of 3. I want to know if it's what I saw". At the count if 3 they both said "A little person riding a squirrel!!" That was EXACTLY what I had watched for a few seconds before it cut across the road and the others saw it... except my mom. I had watched a red squirrel running along a very thick hedgerow with a tiny person riding on its back like as if it were a horse. Still to this day my mind has issues trying to process what I had seen even though it knows what it saw. I spoke to a local elder and told him what happened. He said the reason why I probably saw it was that the hedgerow was too thick for it to go through so it had to cross the road... absolutely wild!

are you open to it

[@willsk7068]

Growing up in a small town of like 500 and im native as is probably just over half the people, there are weird stories we have. It seems certain families sees stuff at certain times, i donno why. Example would be my family would see lots of lights in the sky or orbs, another family would always see bigfoot, and another family would see 'Little People'. The thing is each of these families live in one part of the town, so i dont know if its geographic or just some stroke of the luck or some "inheritance". Its a town in Yukon Canada, im sure most towns have there own stories and sightings like the connected sightings of the Fox Lake UFO. When I go hunting with my buddy whose family always has bigfoot 'experience', we hear the wood knocks, or we see the Light over town like a glowing orb. My uncle saw that Fox Lake UFO way back in 1997, I remember that night perfect, I remember my mom being drunk on wine and she was still up at midnight and i was trying to put her to bed so I can watch TV, finally she went to bed and I stay up, and the sky was clear and it was cold outside like maybe minus 30, the northern lights were out strong and there were so many green meteor shower going on. I remember this creepy feeling that moment. I wake up early next day to my uncle banging on the door to tell us what happened when he was coming back from Whitehorse driving pass Fox Lake. He was the 1st witness to stop at Braeburn Lodge at around 10 pm he said. I donno if bigfoot is a curse to see like a owl on the roof of your house, but it seems something happens when people see it, to the family i mean. Maybe its just rotten luck. The little people stories are weird, and it seems to bother one family, not much these days, but when the town was smaller they lived outside of town almost, by the river, they talk about them, move like shadows and maybe even wearing native clothing lol. they turn off and on light they say and play around, but they can be dangerous as old lore says they can lure you to the rocks and make you disappear. I remember a hunter talking about Little People on Eagle Rock, he saw tracks of small people and it disappear right into a huge boulder. Ghost were everywhere I guess, almost every house has em I think, some more then others, but that is pretty mundane lol.

[@brotherlittlefoot2216]

Thanks for sharing.I live w the Sabe/Sasquatch People,Little people,and can watch UFOs up on the mountains or from my home almost every night in the Appalachian Mountains of NC,USA...Seen the Sabe 8 times now,and only once did something "bad" happen afterward,my starter in my car died 2 nights later in the same exact place where i saw the young Sabe man - the graveyard where my father's body is buried...I'm not blaming the young Sabe,though;starters go out eventually and it's a 2006 anyway. I can blame the ghosts there,lol....Had a Little Person run across my kitchen floor about 10 or so years ago after my ex-gf and I had been in a loud argument just before it happened.After calming ourselves down,we laid down to go to sleep,only to be awakened 15 mins later at 4 AM by the sound of "a toddler" running hard across my kitchen floor.There are no children in this home,and I immediately jumped up to find - nothing and no signs of any animals or anything else....The house is also haunted w spirits that will come right up to you once the lights go out,but they are all friendly or never bother anyone.The Sabe and the LP are more shy than the spirits in the home,but I am friends w all of them,having nightly conversations w the Sabe all around these mountains and I hear from the LP now and then.Every time I am watching UFOs,I am watching then w Sabe People including their children - who love to knock every time we see light in the sky we haven't seen before...To beat it all,I'm just a white guy from Mississippi and after all of these things happened to me in NC,they started happening to me in MS as well.....Our world is definitely changing.

@@brotherlittlefoot2216 damn, i was just binge watching this dude on youtube visiting the Appalachian. I actually wish to see that place lol. I find similarity between the people on the north and south lol, same style of life maybe, the good and bad. When I lived in the capital ive lived on the outskirts of town, and almost every night id watch this orange orb flying over the hills that have the wind pillers. My buddies would come over and visit and they would look at these lights with me declaring they are not planes or helicopter. As for something like a truck dying after something weird never happened to me but this one time, me and my friends were using my phone to film a haunted abandoned hotel we have in this small ass town, and we were there at midnight, never had ive seen so many orbs on camera, we had 3 dogs with us too and one of the dogs was to scared to go down these stairs and he just ran around, i filmed that then my phone died when it still had like 50 percent left. we walked out and I went home to charge it, and all the video I took inside that place was corrupt file. I appreciate you telling me your side from the south lol, I think thats cool we all experience this weird stuff we cant explain.

This sounds a lot like the folklore of the Kashub people - immigrants from Poland - who have maintained a community in Renfrew County for 150 years. Might be worth investigating if you want to go further with this. The best study I've seen was by Jan Perkowski.

[@Ironwoodlogproject]

Interesting video. The only place where I saw a little man clear as day for a few seconds was on the southern outskirt of Algonquin Park, ONT, back in 1986. He was only six inches tall, wore colorful garments and a pointed hat. He ran up the long branch of a huge ironwood for 3-4 seconds before disappearing in a flash of colorful rainbow sparks when he reached the tip of the branch. Then in 2016, a similar small man about the same size appeared next to me on a photo while doing an opening ceremony. He was wearing a white shirt. According to numerous sources, there seems to be different types of various sizes. The Algonquin call them Anishnabetshich while the Micmac know them as the Magah, and different stories describe them of various sizes. They say the first inhabitants made agreements with the Little People concerning the caretaking of the forest and of its resources...

[@mainemermaid6596]

The native people, here in Maine, were friends with them (Puckwudgies), and some even lived with them, until they started stealing their children for food. That began a bloody battle that kld most of them, but a few, that scattered. (Knowing that they have cannibal tendencies might help explain some missing people -just saying) The one that I encountered when we first moved here (raw, remote, wilderness) looked very much like a garden gnome, including the light blue eyes and gray hair. He was wearing cloths that were visibly sewn together (man made cloth pieces of different types and patterns, patched together with very visibke stitches), and a knit, fisherman type, hat (not a pointy hat like the garden gnomes). He grinned and his mouth was overly large. And, he had pointy teeth like a shark, that really freaked me out.

I don't doubt it.... in fact I saw one humping a squirrel once. They're bad tempered little bastards, usually drunk too.

[@BradPitbull]

Excellent video 📹 Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

[@marksettles6695]

Everyone is a little person in Canada, just ask Trudeau.

[@ryandubyah2345]

Haven’t been to Bancroft in a few years now, damn I miss that beautiful place!

[@leokeesic3657]

Yes, lots of them. I can guide you two houses and places that most likely we're going to encounter them😮

Time to go up north and be that guy that Hammerson Peters.

In addition to the content of this video, there is also a legend of a creature called Smallfoot, which is said to essentially be a Black Bear with the feet of a human child. It appears in Galen Winter's comedic book Legendary Northwoods Animals and one is purported to have been shot in Michigan. Winters' book as well as the OG "Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods" by William Cox are both great reads but remember that their content is purely made up and not to be taken seriously.

Had an experience in the deep woods of northern ontario. Me and my brother built our camp about 6 feet off the ground. One night between 11 and mid heard and felt 3 distinct knocks coming from the bottom of the camp. I swung a tool at the floor where the sound came from but heard nothing back, no cracking brush, no animal sounds or smells of any type. Any idea what that could have been?

[@LittleKitty22]

Here in England folks do believe in fairies, even though this belief is more an Irish thing. I wonder if there is something to it. I twice lost a ring in my backyard. Never found these rings again. I spent years searching for them and instructed gardeners to look for them. Nothing. I tried to reconstruct how I had lost the rings by throwing key rings in a similar way. Found the key rings immediately, each time. The rings I lost were real gold with precious stones. I bet the fairies took them. Fairies are said to be evil. Not sure if that's true. I'm not a Brit (I'm half Native American and half Egyptian so not too familiar with the concept of fairies).

[@Madenoak]

Honestly it more depends on the court the fae comes from. They can be helpful like brownies, neutral mischief makers that play pranks and steal items and malevolent fae like the slauge who wish to harm and kill humans. I am not a scholar of fae lore but this is more of the general information I have.

[@Bakedea87]

​@@Madenoakthey are practically forest spirits. Since they love living there. But yes they can be good bad and mischievous. And we haven't much choice. They're incredibly powerful spiritually. I know from experience they can do practically do anything they choose. I've experienced much when I was living in the mountains once. But they never really did me wrong. To say the least. Tho I've never really been a bad person ever myself.

[@mateokarlvonpavlovic8295]

​​​@@Bakedea87by your pf picture, you dont seem respectful to some people or the guy so that isnt being fully good. Being good is respectful at least to people that they deserve and are good themselvs.

On a remote creek on Alaska/Yukon border we seen a fella walk up to bank shaded his eyes and seen us. He was a little guy and fast moving.

[@nicoledianaswimmingthrough3579]

In BC … little people. Close to ‘Sarlacs Pit’ near Qsuenel and also the ‘Brittany Triangle’. The native peoples talk about little people here as well.

When I heard "Oshawa", I jumped, because that's where I'm from.

Don't forget the red dwarf (nain rouge) in Detroit, just across the river from Canada, that's been notorious since the days of New France. There is a lengthy wikipedia article on it.

I've seen one

[@FarrahFerris]

Thanks Hammerson!

[@brotherlittlefoot2216]

Thanks for the stories! I live very close to the Cherokee reservation in NC,where tales of the Little People abound although it can be hard to find many who willingly talk about them. However,I did have an incident on night in my already haunted home in which my ex-gf and I were awakened to what sounded like a toddler sprinting across the kitchen floor,then sounding as if had jumped into a box of grocery bags next to my fridge.I immediately jumped out of bed at 4:15 AM and began frantically searching for what I thought was a small wild animal.After a few minutes of searching,there was still NO sign of what had run through my home.I am still friends w my ex-gf to this day,and to this day both she and I still think it sounded just like a toddler running across the floor....A friend of mine who is an Intuitive later told me that,"You had a Little person run across your kitchen floor!" Him having witnessed them himself,along w the fact that he knows other ppl who have just leads me to believe that he was correct. What else could it have been? Since then,I have had a few more encounters,most notably recorded voices which sounded at 1st like an owl,but then began speaking in an unknown language and sounded very close to human voices.At the time of the recording,myself and a Family of Sasquatches/Sabe People were the only ones around and I did not hear the voices until after listening to the recording later.

[@odin7682]

I live about 40 minutes from bancroft and about 45 mins east of algonquin park. If you know anything about this area its all hills, forest and small lakes with very low human population. 2 years ago I had shot a deer with my bow at dusk. A couple hours later I went out into the bush to track and drag it out as it was late October and the likelihood of it being found and eaten were more than I was comfortable with waiting till morning. I found the deer and began dragging it down the hill, through the poplar brush bottom to the bottom of a ridge leading back to my home. I had gotten turned around in the dark with having to change direction to drag the deer around downed trees and other obstacles, it was at that point that I something let out this bone chilling scream at me that shook me to the core. I grabbed my rifle (as I don't take off into the bush without being armed unless I am actively bow hunting and cannot carry a firearm) and my light and scanned the woods erratically looking for the source of the scream. There was nothing. I have been in the woods my entire life, I know what a bobcat, fox and fisher scream sounds like and this sounded nothing like any of those animals. After this I grabbed the deer and began dragging as fast as I could to get out of there. I still think about that awful scream everytime I venture out to the woods

[@jacqualinesummers2539]

I have experienced something similar. I was at home in bed and heard tiny little footsteps running down the street. They started and stopped within 20 seconds and faded away. It was almost as if whatever it was dropped out of the sky running and then the sound just faded away. By the time I looked out the window there was nothing there.

[@theodorepatton887]

Not much for fairy’s but we do have whitch graves in Grey/Bruce county! Even that is probably wrong no such thing ! Just west of Durham very historic and east , Flesherton ON. Underground Railroad. Unfortunately 2 families got hanged but that’s not in the books anymore!!!! Fine show ☺️

[@sharz8917]

I saw a little person in my ex’s mom’s house basement bout mid-2007&only a month or so after laughing it off like the stories were fairytales but it was super fast running through the open basement door and straight thru the walls thereafter!& my ex came asking what’s wrong when he saw my odd facial expression and I told him I saw something that looked like a lawn gnome with a elf hat and he told me it was just little people&they must’ve liked me to show itself but I should put some peppermint hearts candy out on windowsills and near water and I did because my gold pinky ring I left by the bathroom sink,on the counter went missing and I asked everyone who lived in the house if they seen it but it only reappeared a couple days after I laid candies out for it!&the house I lived in was on a reservation near London,Ontario..never seen another one after that one time but it had a green cone hat and definitely went through the wall when it left

[@crush42mash6]

February the back of my property was a child’s foot six years old barefoot imprint. Why at -25 would anyone be out in the bush and bare feet stumped me, very odd I took photos.

[@stevedenis8292]

I lived near the rouge and frequented it over many years biking and dog walking never found anything probably have tails told of me being told ,a gruff old man with a big black dog.. I reside just outside of Bancroft will be looking for those little people now.

[@Jeffrey-b1o]

This is good stuff.🍁

[@Bakedea87]

I've seen a very little person before. About 12 inches tall in spirit form. They're basically spirits. With incredible powers. One time me and someone I know were walking through the woods and even had skipped or lost time, on the way out someone came looking for us. It was weird. Another time I got into a accident went flying through the woods and saw a little spirit person on the truck, we flew through trees without a seatbelt on still no one got injured but I do remember seeing it and seeing a huge white light before it disappeared.. the story is much longer but basically what I'm saying is they're real. But just probably not in physical form really but a spirit form as well. I'm sure they'll only show themselves if they wanted you too. Or not. Not sure we have much of a choice considering knowing how powerful they can be from what I seen in the woods growing up.

[@mainemermaid6596]

They're called Puckwudgies, here in Maine. We have one (an old man) living on our land.

Here in Ireland we have mythical creatures known as 'Leprechauns', perhaps you've heard of them...😉

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

There’s a legend on the Indonesian island of Sumatra of a creature called Orang Pendek, which literally means “small person” or “short person”. It’s usually described as covered with hair and very primitive looking, like a miniature version of Sasquatch. It’s always described as very shy and frightened of people, and usually spotted from a distance. Sometimes I wonder if all these stories of “little people” stem from human beings having once coexisted with other bipedal hominids, little creatures like Australopithecus Afarensis whose fossils have been found in Africa. The male adults of that species are believed to have been only about four feet tall. We’ve always assumed all species like that were no longer around by the time our species appeared, but maybe they still were. Humans saw them and because they seemed so different , so strange and mysterious, they told stories about them and often ascribed them supernatural powers.

[@FlishaMcArenington]

I am in agreement. I firmly believe the little people were alive at the time of our ancestors and that is why there are stories from all over the world. These stories were exaggerated with retelling and became the oral legends of today. I also believe that the monsters of said legends are again exaggerated retellings of encounters with ancient fauna.

[@mateokarlvonpavlovic8295]

​@@FlishaMcAreningtonand that could be very wrong, because all this beings are supernatural, even orang pendek is but I dont think orang pendek is small as little people he is way bigger. If someone people described shapeshifting beings that doesnt mean is exagerated, but it is what they have see.

[@samk3lly]

It was said that if you saw a little person and told someone about it you'd pass away soon thereafter. That's what my folks were told and told me. To this day, I hope to never see a little person.
