Lake
"monsters" have been reported by thousands of people
over the years in all parts of the world. Do they really exist?
Is there a plausible explanation? Have some few prehistoric
creatures somehow managed to survive the ages where most became
extinct but a handful still thrive in modern times?
The
legend of Ogopogo tells us that he has been seen by Lake
Okanagan area residents and visitors alike in British Columbia,
Canada, for hundreds of years. In more modern times, several
photos have been taken of an unexplainable phenomenon on
very calm days when there was not a ripple to be seen. |

After having himself seen what he believed to be the famous "lake monster" Ogopogo back in 1978 while crossing Lake Okanagan on the bridge out of Kelowna, British Columbia, Bill Steciuk has teamed with several others who believe in the existence of this creature.
This group has taken the search for Ogopogo to a high scientific level
and have mounted several expeditions over the years, using advanced technologies
donated by one of their sponsors, Interphase
Technologies, from R.O.V. to sonar.
During the year
2000 expedition, a fast-moving form measuring approximately
15 meters in length was caught on sonar.
Bill has also been approached several times over the past few years by documentary makers, for television shows and for print production. |

The most recent search for Ogopogo was on Okanagan Lake the week of November 3rd, 2008. A documentary was filmed for the History Channel, by Whitewolf Entertainment out of Montreal, which is due to be broadcast in February 2009.
The Legend Hunter team of Bill Steciuk and Len Melnyk lead the search. They employed some new technologies such as thermal imaging, hydrosound technology, sonar and dive teams.
A small partly-decayed carcass of a marine species was found in a cave in 60 ft. of water, on the west side of Rattlesnake Island. The sample is being frozen and sent to the Biodiversity Institute in Guelph, Ontario for final tissue DNA determination. The carcass was not readily indentifiable by either the crew or the divers, leading to the possibility of a new species in Okanagan Lake.......the mystery continues!
