This story has everything I love about the world in it: Canada. Reappearing/Disappearing Mysterious Creatures. Local Lore. Omens. Good stuff.
First off, I am glad as hell I don't have a dog, it seems people are always discovering fucked up shit while walking their dogs, bodies, mysterious creatures, used condoms, disgusting.
So somebody walking their dog discover a foot long creature "with a bald face and paws, glazed eyes, warthog like mouth and a rat's tail".
You have your usual university type skeptics sayings its just a this or just a that, but the more interesting people of the area have differing theories.
"According to the residents of the community, this isn't the first sighting of such a creature. In fact, the people in the area call the legendary creature "omagimaakos" - or "the ugly one." Sainnawap says his great-uncle came across a similar animal in the 1950s"
The body disappeared and then locals went out looking for it or another like it. They didn't find anything which is good because Sainnawap goes on to say that the "Omagimaakos" is an omen of bad things about to happen. Goddamn. It turns out culture can be fucking interesting. At least other peoples culture. American Culture is like, "We call these 'McGriddles' and they are an omen of immanent heart disease and slow thought patterns".
