Monsters Manitoba, Canada

For cryptids Manitoba a special place. Even the word "cryptid" was first used by the local researcher John wall in 1983 to denote mysterious animals that are trying to find cryptozoology.

Manitoba stretches from the border with the American state of North Dakota in the South to Nunavut in the North. It is the eighth largest canadian province, its area is 647 797 km2. There's a lot of land under agriculture and lot of mountains, lakes, forests and tundra. Manitoba has more than 110 thousand lakes (mostly small) that fill 15.6 percent area of the province. Maybe that's why in Manitoba many lake monsters.

Monster Manipogo

This monster lives in the lake Manitoba. The length of the lake is 201 km by 45 km, but the lake itself is very shallow, a maximum of 7 meters. It's amazing how it can hide some large animal. However, this is a strange and elusive beast exists. It even got to the photo taken by the witness Richard Vincent August 12, 1962. The picture shows a thin worm-like/serpentine creature in the waters of the lake.

The first European settlers saw this creature since the 1800-ies. In 1906, a fur trader, Valentine McKay claimed that he had seen in the water by a huge creature. In 1935 inspector logging Ross and his friend said that he saw a water creature like a dinosaur. Observations continued in later years.

In 1948, someone reported the long-necked monster, claiming that his neck was a length of two meters. He also compared the creature with a dinosaur. In 1989 the family of Minnerapolis observed in the water strange humps.

In 2004 a fisherman Keith Haden told reporters that his nets on something big came through big holes. As mentioned above, August 12, 1962 in the waters of the lake were made of the only photograph Manipogo. That day, two fishermen, Richard Vincent and John Konefal went from fishing to their camp, when about 55 meters from the boat saw in the water something strange and managed to shoot. The found in 2013 and published in the newspaper the Winnipeg Sun, recognizing genuine.

Monster Winnebago

Winnebago lives in lake Winnipegosis, the second largest in Manitoba. In length it is 195 km and 51 km in width. It is also quite shallow, on average there's a depth of 12 meters, but there are "holes" in 18 meters. According to descriptions of eyewitnesses Winnipeg is a brownish snake with a length of about 7 meters and with a single horn on its head. Legends about him went among the first settlers, but the first collision recorded in 1901 and was described in the newspaper Dauphin Press. Further observations were made in 1909 and 1935, and 1930-the years one Oscar Fredrickson found on the shore of the lake the remains of the skeleton, which he could not identify.

Later James Macleod of the University of Manitoba said the bones could be part of the spine of the extinct whale. More sightings of the monster were recorded in 2013 Winnebago was named "monster close to extinction". Curiously, lakes Manitoba and Winnipegosis are connected and the monster, seen in either of these two lakes could be Winnipeg and Manipogo.

The Sasquatch

Sasquatches commonly called the canadian "subspecies" of the American Bigfoot. In the language of the Indians, it means "wild man". In Canada and in Manitoba especially a lot of observations of the Sasquatch. It not only see, take a photo, but it also hits on the video. Although all the records are usually very turbid and of poor quality. In 2005, ferry operator Bobby Clarke saw, on the shore of lake Winnipeg, the creature wasn't exactly human and not a bear.

It was black, stood on two legs and was moving. In height was about 3 meters. In 2012, a guy named Brent Brandon said that snarling monster attacked a tourist tent in the woods. He described the creature as very high, like a monkey with black long hair. Notably, it indicated that the creature was "fat".
