Today we’re going to talk about a little unknown creature to many of you, that some call the Water Panther. The Ojibwa call it  Mishipeshu. They say the entity lives near Michipicoten and Manitoulin Island in Lake Superior, and is often regarded as a symbol of the lake’s power. Mishipeshu is able to cause storms, waves, and whirlpools. The water spirit as some call it travels through underwater tunnels, speaking in a roaring hiss that sounds like rushing water. Mishipeshu is an amalgamation of many different animal parts. Sort of like a Frankenstein’s monster of all the animals you might find in the Great Lakes Region.  Some say Mishipeshu has the head and paws of an enormous cat, the horns of a bison, the scaly body of a snake (or the feathered body of a bird), a spiky back and tail, and any other number of contrasting characteristics.  Some say he is about the size of a lynx or mountain lion, others say he is unfathomably large.
