Canadian lake monster Ogopogo from Lake Okanagan is not as lucky as his "cousin" Nessie from Scottish Loch Ness. Basically, all reports about the observation of Ogopogo are oral, and there are very few videos or photographs.
But in September 2018, apparently the best photo of Ogopogo ever was taken. In the picture, you can distinguish part of the monster's head and a little tail. And it is immediately clear that this is not a large fish or an otter.
In addition to this photo, in the same September, two oral reports of the observation of the monster were received a little later. Incredible activity, like which it seems has not been here in all the years.
Photo taken by local amateur photographer Andrew S. from Kelowna. According to him, he was on the shores of Bluebird Bay on September 9 and tried to take beautiful photographs of Lake Okanagan.
And suddenly he noticed a very large object that appeared out of nowhere, as if it had risen from the depths. The object moved and moved very quickly from left to right. According to him, it was definitely not a boat or something else, created by man.
Another sighting of the monster happened on September 18th. Worker Martin came from Vancourver and that day worked on a new building standing on the shore. During his lunch break, he decided to go to the lake and relax while admiring the views.
This is what the monster Ogopogo looks like.
The second sighting of the monster was on 7 September near Bear Creek Provincial Park and was witnessed by a man named David Halbauer. According to him, it was like a dinosaur's head protruding out of the water.
Halbauer says that he noticed a long dark creature in the water about 100 meters from the shore and it moved as if it was rolling up and down. He tried to film the creature, but because of the glare on the water, there was almost nothing to see.
Still from Halbauer's video.
The Ogopogo monster has been seen in Lake Okanagan in British Columbia since at least the late 19th century. But he appears in the legends of local Indians, where his name is Nha-a-tik or Naitaka, which translates as "lake demon".
The creature is described as having a long neck and a thick, long body. In 1914, a half-rotten carcass of some animal with four fins, weighing about 160 kilograms and one and a half to two meters long, was thrown onto the shore of the lake.
Initially it was assumed that it was a manatee, but it was also hypothesized that it was the body of the lake monster Ogopogo, whose neck had already completely rotted. Thus, not one animal that accidentally got there, but a small population, probably lives in the lake.
