The Kayaker's Surprise (2012)

"'I was paddling near Big Bend at dusk,' reported a local kayaker, 'and saw this huge wake moving upstream, too big for any fish I know. Then, for just a second, a wide, dark head with what looked like glowing amber eyes surfaced... then it was gone. Sent shivers down my spine!'"

The Fisherman's Tale (1998)

Video: Shaky "found footage" of ripples

"An angler shared, 'Felt a tug on my line like nothing before. Thought I'd hooked a massive log, but then the 'log' moved with purpose. It snapped my strongest line clean. Only saw a massive, dark shape under the water, easily ten feet long. Never seen anything like it in 40 years on this river.'"

Tracks & Traces

Have you found unusually large, webbed tracks by the river? Or noticed trees gnawed in a way no ordinary beaver could manage? Some claim these are signs of Kitchi-Amik's passage.

Unexplained Sounds

Some report deep rumbles, strange splashes, or low guttural sounds emanating from the river, especially at night or in foggy conditions. Could these be the voice of Kitchi-Amik?
