‘Unlike anything I'd ever seen!': B.C. man captures footage of ‘fairy' on security camera
Adam meets a man who captured a seemingly supernatural creature on his security camera. ESQUIMALT, B.C. — Before he ever imagined seeing something magical, Steve McBeath installed security cameras to be purely practical. 'There was a bit of comfort in having them,' Steve says. 'To be able to see who's been wandering around your place.' Whenever the camera is triggered, Steve immediately gets a notification on his phone saying if it's a human or an animal. 'All sorts of critters are constantly moving past it,' Steve says, adding he's seen countless cats, dogs, raccoons and deer. But there have been a couple times when the camera captured people – including someone who tried to open his car and turn the handle on his back door. 'They had actually done some break-ins that same evening,' he says. So, when Steve got a similar notification the other night, he feared the worst. 'It said it saw a person,' Steve says. '(But) it wasn't a person.' And it wasn't one of the usual animals either. 'It was unlike anything I've ever seen before,' Steve says. It appeared as a bright dot crossing the black and white video, before suddenly turning up and flying straight at the camera. 'It was bizarre,' Steve says. 'It looked kind of humanoid.' It looked like a fairy with a glowing set of wings. 'It was very eerily lit,' Steve says of the footage. 'It was a shimmering silver colour.' While that magical moment was quickly replaced by a mundane explanation – it was likely some sort of insect – it was still wonderful. 'I just thought other people would get a kick out of it as well,' Steve says. So, Steve took the time to post the fairy video on his local community page. 'The very first guy (who commented) said a rolled-up newspaper would take care of that,' Steve says. But after that, more than a couple people mentioned the creatures looked like Tinker Bell from Peter Pan. Hundreds expressed their appreciation, and tens of thousands watched the magic unfold. 'I was just stunned with the response to this,' Steve says. But even better was seeing one his granddaughters Isabelle watching the fairy footage for the first time in awe. 'They'll always remember the time their goofy old grandad got himself on TV because a fly flew by his security camera!' Steve laughs. Or they will never forget that time their couldn't-be-more-wonderful grandad captured a fairy on camera and made the effort to make his world — if just for a moment — feel like magic. 'Just look for things that are unusual,' Steve smiles. 'You never know where something like this is going to pop up and be a bit of fun.'

AGCO informs Fort Erie that race under review
Jockey's race their horses during the 165th running of the Kings's Plate horse race in Toronto on Friday, August 23, 2024. Kevin Attard looks to secure a second straight Prince of Wales Stakes title and continue chasing an unofficial Canadian Triple Crown on Tuesday. Attard will have four horses running in Tuesday's 1 3/16-mile race at Fort Erie Racetrack, unfortunately King's Plate winner Caitlinhergrtness won't be one of CANADIAN PRESS/Paige Taylor White TORONTO — The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has informed Fort Erie Racetrack that a race on Monday's card is under review. In that race, 6-5 favourite Princess O Denmark had a decent lead at the top of the stretch but was beaten by three-quarters of a length at the wire. Jockey Kirk Johnson had the horse sixth lengths ahead before the turn in the five-furlong turf race and straightening into the stretch, Princess O Denmark was about '70 yards' ahead of the field, according to track announcer Doug McPherson. But Johnson didn't appear to ask the four-year-old filly to keep running, remaining high in the stirrups while twice looking over his right shoulder as if to keep on eye on the field. By the time Johnson started asking Princess O Denmark at the 16th pole, primarily with hands and heels, Rolling Roxxx made up ground to rally past and win the maiden claiming race. McPherson said in his call of the finish that it was a 'very perplexing race.' Johnson has been a jockey since 2005, recording 934 winners from 7,786 mounts, according to Equibase. He will be allowed to continue riding until the AGCO's review process is complete. 'The AGCO has given us a notice of review and that their investigation is conducted independent of the Fort Erie Live Race Consortium (FELRC),' said James Culic, FELRC's manager of marketing and corporate communications. 'We will be notified of the decision once it is rendered and they (AGCO) have talked to the jockey. 'We take this matter very seriously. We respect the integrity of the sport and will accept the findings of the AGCO's investigation.' The AGCO did not immediately respond to an email request for comment from The Canadian Press. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 5, 2025. The Canadian Press

Victoria Mboko wild ride leads to tonight's semifinal showdown at NBO Open
Victoria Mboko of Canada reacts during her game against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain during quarterfinal tennis action at the National Bank Open in Montreal, Monday, Aug. 4, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi MONTREAL — No longer a stranger to Canadian fans, or a lightweight on the Women's Tennis Association Tour, Victoria Mboko's captivating run from fearless wild-card entry to National Bank Open semifinalist continues tonight in Montreal. The 18-year-old Toronto tennis phenom, an NBO underdog who has captured the hearts and full attention of Canadians round by round at IGA Stadium, plays the ninth-seeded Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan on Centre Court with the winner earning a berth in tomorrow's singles final. Mboko is only the third wild-card player to reach the Canadian semifinals, and the first since Bianca Andreescu's title run in 2019. She's also the youngest woman to reach the semis since Belinda Bencic's 2015 win in Toronto. Mboko started the year ranked outside the top 300 and, by the end of the NBO tourney, will be ranked in the top 50 according to WTA live rankings. Her success in Montreal has come at the expense of higher-ranked players. She beat 79th-ranked Kimberly Birrell, No. 23 seed Sofia Kenin, 39th-ranked Marie Bouzkova and top-seeded Coco Gauff, a match that only lasted 62 minutes. She bounced Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-4, 6-2 in Monday's quarterfinals, setting the stage for tonight's newest challenge. Rybakina beat Mboko 6-3, 7-5 in last month's Citi D.C. Open, but a lot has gone right for the powerful Canadian since that setback. Tonight's other semifinal is between the 16th-seeded Clara Tauson of Denmark and Naomi Osaka of Japan. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 6, 2025.
