Daily Courier. |

John Casorso
and his family were sleeping on a houseboat on Lake Okanagan
on August 9, 2004, when suddenly, at 7:30am, the houseboat began
rocking violently, waking everyone. As John reached the deck,
he was amazed to see something very large swimming away so he
ran to get his video camera and was able to shoot some incredible
footage.
John has
allowed The Legend Hunters to reproduce stills created from
his video footage here on this website and to tell the details
of his story. The Casorso family have been long-established
in the Kelowna area and are well known by many of the City's
residents.

shot video footage of the object for approximately 15 minutes.
The lake was calm, there were no boats in the vicinity and the
family could see a long dark hump rising out of the water. John
believes that the object was about 15 meters long and there could
have been more than one, which tallies with several other reported
sightings of more than one "creature". John feels certain
that it could not have been a wave because it wasn't dissipating,
again a description told by several others who have reportedly
seen such a creature in Lake Okanagan.
