Beneath the bustling streets of Toronto lies the legend of the Toronto Tunnel Monster—a pale, gaunt creature said to dwell in the city’s forgotten sewer tunnels near the Don River. The story traces back to 1978, when a man named Ernest claimed to have encountered a four-foot humanoid with grey skin, large orange eyes, and a voice that rasped a single word: “Get out.” When investigators returned to the site, the tunnels had collapsed, erasing all trace of the being. Some say it was an escaped lab experiment, others a spirit of the city’s buried rivers, guarding its subterranean domain. Whatever its origin, the Tunnel Monster remains one of Toronto’s most unsettling urban mysteries—an omen lurking just beneath the hum of streetcars and skyscrapers.
