Is There An Ogopogo in a Okanagan Lake?

that is the question,

first things first, what is a Ogopogo? it is the Canadian equivalent of the UKs Loch Ness monster, and just like ours the Ogopogo has remained remarkably elusive, next the setting, Okanagan Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada, strangely enough the official website does not mention the Ogopogo in its list of nature and culture or in its list of activities, although the park offers excellent birdwatching opportunities, on to the witness who took the pictures,


Richard Huls while visiting a West Kelowna winery, shot the video that he believes proves something does indeed live in the water, the video shows two 40 foot lines in the water, 'it was not going with the waves,' Huls said. 'it was not a wave obviously, just a darker colour, the size and the fact that they were not parallel with the waves made me think it had to be something else,' so the quest is on again, in fact Native folklore specifically places the lair of the lake monster which they called N'ha-a-itk, or lake demon, at a cave under Squally Point near Rattlesnake Island which is offshore from Peachland,


but the first recorded sighting was in 1872 by a Caucasian Mrs. Susan Allison, a B.C. pioneer and author, Susan was born in Ceylon in 1845 to Louisa and Stratton Moir, an employee of the British colonial service, eventually after Stratton's death in 1849, Louisa and her three children – Stratton, Jane and Susan – left Ceylon to live with relatives in England where Louisa later remarried in 1860, soon after, mother, daughters, and new stepfather Thomas Glennie travelled via the Panama Canal to Fort Hope in the new colony of British Columbia where Susan made her first sighting of Ogopogo, the hunt continues.
