Loup-Garou: The Werewolf of French Canada ['The Werwolves' (1892) by Honore Beaugrand]

[@matthewmaxcy1574]

We have them here in Maine and im not even kidding one bit.. ive seen personally bf a few times with witnesses to validate, but one summer in a area where a werewolf/dogman has been sighted frequently, my nephew and i went trout stream fishing and found wolf tracks the size of medium dinner plates and i just stood there dumb founded as i am a ex trapper and still hunt and fish and just couldnt believe what i was seeing and then that winter we ran into it and it was scary as HELL.. be careful outthere we are not alone people.. Monsters are real and in our back 40..

The first time I heard about Loup Garu, it was the name of a lake in a book entitled Cache Lake Country.

[@andreweden9405]

What a treat! Thank you! I'm from Indiana, in the Midwest of the USA, and our earliest European settlements here were actually French as well. Our oldest city is Vincennes, which was founded in 1732, although there had probably been a French post there since at least the 1690s. Anyway, there are also many local legends from there about the loup-garou. By the way, the animation on this video was very well done in terms of period-correctness. The only small detail I might mention is that the hunting knife used by the main character to defend himself against the werewolf looks a little bit anachronistic. Not that that type of knife wasn't around at that time, but it's more of a Mediterranean/Iberian style. And of course, it would also become the classic pattern for the American Bowie knife in the early-mid 19th century. The type of knife that was most often carried by the 18th century French trappers and traders looked like the top 3 knives in this group... photos.app.goo.gl/bFoeYmZiBjcGt43r9 Also, here's a very beautiful reproduction by a modern maker... photos.app.goo.gl/q86MMEuSRTf2kGWz9

[@hounddog4363]

Love the idea of getting a narrator with a French accent. The execution was lacking a little. I don't know if he might have benefitted from reading the copy over ahead of time or if you were under time constraints, but he kinda stumbled through it. It was a little distracting. Only stood out because your production quality is generally so high. I hope this can be constructive. Love your content.

[@HammersonPeters]

I appreciate the comment. Narrating in a second language is a tall order for anybody, and I think Louis-Simon did an outstanding job. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@jameshitt3263]

Trying very hard to hear what you're talking about, but I simply can't hear it. His narration was excellent. If some of the pronunciation occasionally sounds a bit indecipherable, well, English is clearly his second language. He's a great storyteller, and the accent lends an even greater immersive quality to the story.

[@hounddog4363]

@@jameshitt3263 well, if you weren't distracted, then evidently he did a great job. I really don't have any interest in running the guy down or being critical. Just putting my opinion out there if it can be of use to anyone. If not, I certainly don't want to hurt anybody. I'm sure he's a great guy who helped out some friends with a terrific project.

Yeah I live in Quebec and he did a good job I'd say, shame you couldnt follow. The majority of Québecois have lackluster English skills if they come from outside of Montreal's region.

Also Beast sept chute may have been one and one was shot and rcmp had photos of it. Native legends to hudson bay guys all have these stories. With bakebeans and labat to moosehead fumes no wonder loup garoos abound in the depths of quebec lol.

They opened up 20-25 feet in the Air in the trees and they both fell crashing down through the branches. They proceeded to bluff charge us repeatedly over and over for what seemed like forever.
