OGOPOGO?
OGOPOGO?
 Canada's
most famous water monster is Ogopogo of Lake Okanagan in the south central
interior of British Columbia. Although Indian legends support a monster
living in Okanagan Lake long before white men arrived in this country,
Ogopogo is very much a present day phenomenon. Each year, sightings are
reported of a creature some 20 to 50 feet long, with a horse shaped head
and an undulating serpent like body! Okanagan Lake is about 80 miles long
extending from Vernon at the north end to Penticton in the south with the
fast growing city of Kelowna in the center. Sightings have been reported
throughout the length of the lake but the monster appears to favour an
area just south of Kelowna in waters near Peachland.
A figment of the imagination you say? Not according to several authors who have investigated dozens of sightings over the years and interviewed many, many people. For more information, try the book "Ogopogo" by Arlene Gaal or "The Okanagan Mystery" by Mary Moon. |
