Have you see Ogopogo?
| The
Legend of Ogopogo |
In
the heart of the Central Okanagan Region of British
Columbia, Canada, lies Okanagan Lake. This lake
is home to a legendary sea monster similar to the
Loch Ness Monster. For centuries, natives to this
area have believed in and respected the great serpent,
N'ha·a·itk, even offering it sacrifices
at it's cave in Squally Point so that they may achieve
safe passage across the lake in their canoes.
The best-known Canadian lake Monster, Ogopogo, made
its media debut In 1926. It was witnessed by a large
group of people at Okanagan Mission Beach. Roy W.
Brown, editor of the Vancouver Sun, wrote, "
Too many reputable people have seen [the monster]
to ignore the seriousness of actual facts."
There have been numerous sightings, songs and stories
over the years about the famous "Sea Monster"
called Ogopogo.
