Within The Mist

Caddy

Ep. 161

In the latest episode of "Within the Mist," hosts Gary and GoldieAnn delve into the legend of the Cadborosaurus, affectionately known as "Caddy." This cryptid is said to inhabit the coastal waters of the North Pacific, particularly around Cadboro Bay in British Columbia.


The episode begins by exploring the indigenous tribes' early legends, which describe serpentine sea creatures bearing a striking resemblance to Caddy. These tales have been passed down through generations, embedding the creature deeply into local folklore.


Moving forward to the 1930s, the hosts recount numerous reported sightings of Caddy. Eyewitnesses during this era described a creature with a long neck, horse-like head, and a series of humps along its back, often seen undulating through the water. These accounts contributed to a surge of public interest and speculation about the creature's existence.


The episode reaches a climax with the intriguing discovery of an unidentified carcass found in the stomach of a whale. This finding reignited debates among cryptozoologists and marine biologists, as some believed the remains could be physical evidence of Caddy's existence. The hosts discuss various analyses and theories surrounding this discovery, weighing the possibilities of it being a new species or a misidentified known animal.


Join Gary and GoldieAnn as they sail Within the Mists of the Cadboro Bay to bring you Caddy, the Cadborosaurus.
