![]() The channel was called Caledon Local 21 and later I found out it was indeed broadcasted from the town of Caledon, Ontario, a town very close to my city. My dad was surprised too, but he let me watch it because it seemed to have kids programs on. I pressed channel 21 into the remote, hoping there were more channels, and to my delight there was. One day in April, I was flipping through the channels, trying to see if Pokémon was on. It wasn’t for another few months until I discovered channel 21. After surfing through the channels, I came to the conclusion that only channel 2 (TVO kids) was worth watching so I watched that for a while. I was just thrilled I had my own TV in my room. It also only had 20 channels available not including the channel Pokémon was on. Unfortunately, it was just an old, small boob tube, with rabbit ears even. My dad got tired of hearing me complain every day, that must be why he went and bought another TV. The only problem was that my dad watched the news at 5:30, and Pokémon episodes were back-to-back, which meant I had to miss an episode every day, something I whined on and on about. So, of course, every time I came home from school, I would stay glued to the TV until Pokémon came on at five. Pokémon cards, games, stickers, and the most popular, the TV show. At that time Pokémon was the latest fad to hit the school. That one memory that refuses to be wiped, it all started with that new (or old) TV. 1999 marked the year I lost my first tooth, my first time on a plane, and unfortunately the early loss of my childhood innocence. The year 1999 exists as a stain in my mind, however, as a memory that will not go away no matter how I try to forget it. That sentence brings me back to my senior kindergarten class when I was five years old, where we used to read out the date on the blackboard every single day. The audience is then left in the dark as to whether he contacted him and what the outcome of the communication or meeting was. The story famously ended on a cliffhanger, with the narrator explaining that he had found an email address supposedly belonging to Mr Bear. It is revealed that late episodes in this show involved Mr Bear burning children alive, with our narrator realising as he discovers this, that the same thing would have happened to him had he gone to the house alone, or earlier. In a typical ‘lucky escape’ narrative, the boy is encouraged to meet with Mr Bear at a given address, but when he goes there with his father, finds the police searching the place. It is revealed as the story goes on that Mr bear invited his audience to write to him, which the narrator did. Essentially a man in a bear suit which was a parody of ‘Bear in the Big Blue House’ and something akin to Barney the dinosaur with a bear in place of the purple T-rex. The story set 10 years after the show was supposed to have gone off the air, gives an account of the series which is alleged to have been hosted by a character called Mr Bear. The show, which was a kid’s television programme and is claimed to have shown on a public access station was only available to a very small viewership in a tiny geographical area. 1999, also sometimes referred to ‘Mr Bear’s Cellar’ or ‘Caledon Local 21’ is a creepypasta story about a fictional television show.
