This is a proposed image of Mussie, the Muskrat Lake Monster, from 2010 in Ontario, Canada. However, when it was seen by a man named Donald Humphreys in 1968, it was given another name. When Humphreys witnessed the strange creature, he gave it the name Hapyxelor (sometimes spelled Hapaxelor). He had no reason for dubbing it with this unique name other than that it “popped into his head” when he saw it. Sightings describe Mussie as a number of things. Witnesses claim that Mussie could have any or all of the following features: two humps on its back, a large fin, a long neck, walrus-like tusks, and three eyes. One eye witness described it as having “three eyes, three ears, one big fin halfway down its back, two legs, [and] one big tooth in front, is silvery-green in colour, and stretches for twenty-four feet.” It was first seen in 1916 and sightings have lasted up until present years. At one point in the 90s, there was a CAN$1 million reward for Mussie’s capture as long as it was still alive.

A 2011 paper about cougar sightings and evidence in Ontario has this photo in it. Not much detail is given about the photo, but the author states that there were 51 credible “black cougar” or “black panther” sightings in the area between 1991 and 2010. Given the fact there never been a documented melanistic cougar, the author suggests these sightings are exotics, either jaguars or leopards.

Igopogo is a creature that is said to reside in Lake Simcoe in Southern Ontario. This lake monster is said to resemble a “stove-pipe” and have a head that is similar shape to a canine. Eyewitnesses also claim that the creature is around 30 to 70 feet in length with numerous dorsal fins along its back. This photo is said to have been captured in 1976, however there is not much information out there about it.

This grainy image has very little information surrounding it. All that is said about it is that it was taken in 1923 in Cobalt, Ontario, and is supposedly of Old Yellow Top - a Bigfoot-like creature that is said to roam Ontario. Old Yellow Top is said to be called such because, unlike other Bigfoot sightings, this one always has blond colored hair on its head. It is thought to be the oldest known photograph of a Bigfoot-like creature.

“In 1909 a group of miners at the Violet Mine in Cobalt, Ontario, Canada, observed a tall, man-like creature. Its entire body was covered with brown hair, except for the top of its head, which had a thick mane of bright yellow hair. All of the witnesses agreed on the appearance of the creature, but nobody knew exactly what it was.

The account made its way into the local papers, where reporters quickly nicknamed the mysterious creature “Old Yellow Top.”

For a decade and a half, there were no further confirmed sightings. Then, 17 years later, Old Yellow Top made his second major appearance. Again the witnesses were a group of miners working a local mine outside of Cobalt. They observed what they thought was a bear, except it appeared to be picking berries. One of the miners threw a stone at the creature.

Another miner, Mr. Wilson, said, “It kind of stood up and growled at us. Then it ran away. It sure was like no bear that I have ever seen. Its head was kind of yellow, and the rest of it was black like a bear, all covered with hair.”

Following this, Old Yellow Top seemed to disappear, until 23 years later, when he returned. On April 16, 1946, a woman and her son were walking along the railroad tracks that led into Cobalt when she saw a hairy, man-like creature with a head of bright blond hair walk “almost like a man” into the forest.

In 1976, yet another 30 years later, Old Yellow Top made one final appearance. A bus driver and 27 miners on their way to work the Cobalt mine observed Old Yellow Top as the creature crossed the road in front of them.

Says the bus driver, Aimee Latreille, “At first I thought it was a big bear.

But then it turned to face the headlights and I could see some light hair almost down to its shoulders It couldn’t have been a bear ..

The 1976 sighting of Old Yellow Top, if true, would mean that the creature was more than 70 years old...”
