No no no. It's El Chupacabra

Your dog wants a stake out.

Without any real investigation, I'd go with it being a wolf of some sort. But the article seems to say it's something living in the lake itself, and just popping out to gut dogs now and then.
In which case, given the local fauna of Manitoba, I'm stumped.

Your dog is a punk.

I like reading the article with a deep North Dakota accent.

/Any chance the mystery killer on Reindeer Lake is, I dunno, a reindeer?

If you live in Northen Manitoba, being gutted and killed is a better fate than living out one's full life.

/lives in Southern Manitoba and wishes we had some compassionate "mysterious creatures"

That was a kick ass "In Search Of" with Leonard Nimoy, Kickin out the jams!

Well then Adman12, allow me to get the ball rolling. I suspect this is a concocted story to keep locals away from a massive outdoor grow-op. Plants should be gettin right tall about now.

/please don't gut me!

Adman12

Well, at least Cory and Trevor.

Always watch the skis!

/too obscure?

I was going to say the same thing.

"Mysterious" my arse. Polar ice is melting so whadya think polar bears do? They migrate to where there's solid ground.

DRATS. You beat me to it.

Maybe someone put a hit out on the dogs...


/Thinks it might be the dreaded chingacabra

Chupagabra. They're all over Mexico.

/Go team Venture

anyone else remember that ferry operator in manitoba that claimed he got a sasquatch on video?
did he ever release his vid to the media? last i had heard, he was holding out for offers

Maybe it is the ghost of Louis Riel...

Or not.

BTW, I loved 'In Search Of'. The Amityville episode scared the beejeezuz out of me!

/ok, so I was, like, 8 or something.

It's frickin Nessie again. You know he was Jack the Ripper right? Right???

I think i've seen this one before too...

Sorry, Reverend :)

Mulder: There's been another unsubstantiated mysterious creature sighting in Canada. We've gotta get there right away.
Scully: Well... gee, Mulder, there's also this report of a shipment of drugs and illegal weapons coming into New Jersey tonight.
Mulder: [scoffs] I hardly think the FBI is concerned with matters like that.

its that farkin' otter that was punched in the face...he's seeking the dish thats best served cold....REVENGE

(runs for Star Wars bedcovers, grabs Paddington Bear...)

This is like a grown up version of Scooby.....

Where is the Mystery Machine?????

Damn kids....

RINDER & LEWIS!

Dantouze said the band has advised people to stay away from the lake for the time being.




Robbie Robertson apparently available for comment.

Blimey a Croc in Manitoba...

/seriously though have you seen the size of mosquitoes out there in Manitoba and Sexscatchewan? I guess mosquitoes mkay

"In Search Of" was THE most awesome show. As a kid it got me interested in these kinds of things, because it showed me that there was all kinds of weird shiat going on in the world that I knew nothing about.

The internet has made this kind of curiosity even easier to address, with websites like www.damnedinteresting.com and www.unexplained-mysteries.com.

It was this guy!

I need about tree-fitty or I'll gut you

/applies in this thread nicely

Amateurs. El Chupacabra eats goats, not dogs. (And fat trivia geeks from Georgia.)

We're looking for El Chupapero.

Come on now, we all know what it is...

A gigantic mutant Manitoban mosquito.

Yarr, tis on the loose from Komarno...

I heard it kinda wild there in Manitoba.

Road trip anyone? I got some guns, access to liquid explosives, and time on my hands.


/liquid explosvies may come in form of mexican burrito.

I'd like to know how many dozen people live in northern Manitoba.

/i kid

KentuckyBob Road trip anyone? I got some guns, access to liquid explosives, and time on my hands.


congratulations, you just made the government no-fly list!

/and me too, for quoting you
//good thing you like road trips

Adman12: BTW, if you're over 30, this YouTube link (pops) will give you the chills as only a shared Gen-X pop culture flashback can.

I'm 27.

I used to watch "In Search Of..." religiously on A&E when I was younger.

Damn, pendy575 got it before me. I'm still gonna say it's some local resident known as "Old Man something" in a mask. And he'll get away with it unless some kids start meddling around. It even works with fatal_exception's grow-op hypothesis.

/zoiks!

I suppose not letting dogs run loose is beyond the Canucks comprehension?

It's probably some old hermit tired of having the mutts traipsing around his territory.

"Dantouze said the band has advised people to stay away from the lake for the time being."

What band??

I briefly caught the creature on video.

/lives in Southern Manitoba and wishes we had some compassionate "mysterious creatures"

My friend, that is the funniest thing I could never of thought of. I live in southern Manitoba and couldnt agree more.

What band??

BTO?

Guess Who?

Or maybe it was a Burton Cummings solo effort?

\Gotta get that Can Con in!

and by "mysterious" we mean "an ex-cop that doesn't like noisy pets attracted to the smell of fish"

Lac Brochet and weird stuff going on........not surprised

wendigo.

They're going to have to wait until the ice break up next spring. So they can lure the wendigo across a river and have it killed under the ice flows.

In Search Of was shown all the time on A&E in the 90's.

ledbepplin

I didn't know Drew Carrey was into tattoos...

But seriously, my theory...

ledbepplin: It was this guy!

I always thought there was something strange about Drew Carey

manbearpig!

No, no, no.

Leonard Nimoy is not who we need (though In Search Of was cool).

This is clearly the work of Big Blue. We need Mulder and Scully on the case, pronto.

/And Queequeg as an appetizer.

What's the Canadian name for a Chupacabra?

/seen in the area

Steven Harper.

caknuck

Chupapero?

The suck but no?

I believe you're looking for chupaperro.

/Don't get me started on ene versus enye.

ledbepplin: WTF??????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ??

Walker:
Kids today are jaded and wouldn't find that movie or "In Search Of..." the least bit spooky.

The ones that gave me nightmares were "Threads," "The Day After" and "V", but I suppose those were all in the 80's. The creature double-features on UHF were pretty cool in the 7os, but they didn't show much George Romero, it was more like bad japanese and american monster movies from the '50s.

/Just a ramblin down memory lane.
//Does it seem unusual to anyone else that authorities are "recommending people stay away from the lake" without more backup evidence?
///Wolf pack would be my guess.

Probably some gas-huffer got hungry. I love it so much when the chiefs have them kicked off the res, and shipped to Thompson, rather than actually dealing with the problem:

Whats wrong with Manitoba? It beats Saskatchewan, what more could you expect?

/lives in saskatchewan
//works in manitoba
///maryfield represent!

Nothing north of Winnipeg beats Saskatchewan, melvin.

MrToast: Your dog wants a stake out.



Stakeout?

This is quite interesting:

Elmendorf Creature (pops)

"Mysterious creature" killing dogs in unusual ways around lake in northern Manitoba. Your dog wants Leonard Nimoy to investigate"


//can't believe no one's posted this yet
//maybe only Manitobans will get it

If this were cats instead of dogs, I would blame most of the male members of this site.

What band??

BTO?

Guess Who?

Or maybe it was a Burton Cummings solo effort?
leave Mr Moustache out of it!

But I was guessing that without RTFA that it was Cummings' moustache, that thing can kill a cow

It's a dinosaur that has been hibernating for many hundreds of years, suddenly brought back to life by...gamma rays, yeah that's it. It's hungry!

Oh ok, it's EL CHUPACABRA!

Midgets

outback_rebel

That Elmendorf Creature looks exactly like a Peruvian Inca Orchid who had some sort of chromosomal defect or inbreeding; would also explain the live one reported nearby. PIOs are known for having terrible teeth, so a messed-up overbite like in the picture isn't too much of a stretch.

Too bad this didn't take place in Nunavut...

"I want Nunavut!"

/wouldn't mind actually visiting northern canada

We're on it!

Black Bear

It was Nimrod, that water critter from "Surface", did it.

/Grand theft pizza, dude.
//Were the dogs shocked and awed?

Sorry to bring any sort of harshness, but this could just be human revenge, or a pre-emptive strike. A two-year old boy was mauled to death by dogs in n. manitoba a few weeks ago.

cold_fss

That's racist!

Nah, sadly it's probably true.
