Y'know how every city has "that guy" like an old friend comes to visit and you're just like oh yeah thats Despacito Man. Toronto's like an ecosystem of City Cryptids

  • Zanta
  • Despacito Man
  • The fake monks looking for cash
  • "Believe" guy.
  • The homeless man who takes Line 1 from Eglinton to Union and smells so badly that the entire subway vacates. He sets up a tent-like situation out of sleeping bags.

Those who have (possibly) passed away, but will always be remembered:

  • The bag lady who looked like a swamp witch and screamed at you
  • There used to be a man who screamed religious stuff at you, usually on the subway and around Queen W. Haven't seen him in years though.
  • Years ago there was a schizophrenic man around College/Bay who would yell in a flat, catatonic voice "Can I have spare change I am so hungry". He wore a denim jacket 24/7.
