\"\"<\/a>John Warms has been touring all over Manitoba with his \u201cStrange Creature Seldom Seen Tour\u201d, he decided to make Swan River his final stop before heading home. Most of his stories and pictures came from Northern Indigenous Communities. With other sightings in Southern Manitoba. <\/p>\n

Warms was a former teacher and became interested in these creatures when working up north and talking with locals. Which led him to years of research, adding to his collections, and writing 2 books. <\/p>\n

<\/br>Approximately 150 people stopped by and loved meeting John and listening to his stories! Some visitors even had some of their own stories to share with John. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
