Summary

Paranormal investigator, author, and filmmaker Jason Hewlett takes a deep dive into some of Canada's most legendary cryptids and supernatural phenomena. Jason shares the chilling childhood encounter that launched his lifelong exploration of the unknown, and we dig into the terrifying lore of the Wendigo—part cryptid, part cautionary tale—tied to Indigenous traditions. We also explore his thoughtful approach to researching these stories with cultural sensitivity and hear about the strange and unsettling moments that occurred during his recent Wendigo investigations, which will form the basis of an upcoming book and documentary. In addition to the Wendigo, Jason discusses his work on Cursed Waters, a film exploring the legend of Ogopogo, Canada’s most famous lake monster, and shares details about his current Bigfoot research in British Columbia. From lake creatures to forest spirits to elusive Sasquatch sightings, Jason reflects on what these phenomena reveal about the mysterious world around us. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this conversation is packed with insight and eerie intrigue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
