What’s hiding in the shadows of Banff’s history? In this episode of ParaGhoul Paranormal, we dive into one of Canada’s strangest curiosities: the Banff Merman. Is it a genuine cryptid, a clever hoax, or just a bizarre piece of taxidermy art? We’ll explore the origins of this eerie figure, the folklore surrounding it, and why it continues to fascinate visitors to the Canadian Rockies.

From sideshow oddities to paranormal speculation, this story has it all: mystery, myth, and a dash of the macabre. Tune in and decide for yourself: is the Banff Merman a relic of the past or a creature of legend?
