Canadian Creepies
Welcome to Canadian Creepies—the podcast that digs into the dark corners of Canada’s past and present. Your hosts Valerie, Ali, Amanda Joy ( host of Down the Crooked Path), and sometimes Kyle explore the true crime cases that haunt us, the paranormal encounters that make us question what’s real, and the unsettling folklore that lingers just out of sight.
From cults to cold cases, ghosts to government cover-ups, we don’t just tell the stories—we ask why they still matter.
It’s creepy. It’s Canadian. And it’s probably going to keep you up at night.

DTCP 015 - The Mugwump Monster
Send us a text, tell us your canadian creepy!
In the shadowy waters of Ontario's Lake Timiskaming lurks a legend—one with scales, a serpentine body, and a reputation that’s as slippery as it is strange. Locals call it the Mugwump Monster, and its story winds through decades of eyewitness accounts, folklore, and just enough mystery to keep you looking twice at the water’s surface.
Hosted by Amanda Joy, this episode dives deep into the tangled mix of history, myth, and possibility surrounding Canada’s own lake monster. From chilling tales told around campfires to alleged sightings that made their way into newspapers, Amanda explores whether the Mugwump could be a relic from the past, a case of mistaken identity, or something far stranger.
Join us as we wade into the murky depths of one of Canada’s most elusive cryptids—where fact and folklore meet, and the truth is just beneath the ripples.
