In the previous Mystery History post Lake Monsters and Myths - Lake Baikal we looked at the incredible history of Lake Baikal in Russia and delved into it's legends of mythical creatures, strange phenomena and unusual occurrences.
Today we move across the globe to North America to take a look at 'Bessie' a mythical creature said to reside in the waters of Lake Erie. A huge snake like creature said to be 30-40ft in length that has been reported many times since its first sighting in 1793.
What evidence if any is there to substantiate the claims? One claim has involved an alleged attack by 'Bessie' on fishermen, is there any evidence of this event actually occurring?
Mystery History - Lake Monsters and Myths.
Lake Erie - USA/Canada.
Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes with the average depth being just 63ft (19m). The surface area is 9990 square miles with a length of 241 miles and a breadth of 57 miles at the widest point.
The Lake borders the US states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan as well as the Canadian Province of Ontario. According to Wikipedia the Lake was named by the Erie people who were a Native American tribe living on its southern shores. The tribal name 'Erie' is a shortened form the Iroquoian word erielhonan meaning 'long tail'.
Lets dive into this article found at Cryptid Wiki and look at the background of the 'Bessie' story......
One of Lake Erie's most iconic figures is Bessie, or South Bay Bessie. Bessie has been spotted in the lake from Canada to Pennsylvania. Bessie is a name given to an alleged lake monster in Lake Erie, also known as "South Bay Bessie". The first recorded sighting of Bessie occurred in 1793, and more sightings have occurred intermittently and in greater frequency in the last three decades. Bessie is reported to be snake-like and 9–12 m (30–40 ft) long, at least a foot in diameter, with a grayish color. While shooting at ducks north of Sandusky Ohio in 1793, the captain of the sloop Felicity startled a large snake necked creature described as “more than a rod (16 ½ ft.) in length” July 1817, the crew of a schooner reported a 30 to 40-foot long serpent, dark in colour. Later that year, another boat crew spotted a similar animal, this time copper-coloured and 60 feet in length. This time, they shot at it with muskets, which had no visible effect.
A third 1817 incident took place near Toledo, when French settlers—two brothers named Dusseau—encountered a huge monster on the beach, writhing in what they took to be its death throes.

The brothers described it as between 20 and 30 feet in length and shaped like a large sturgeon, except that it had arms. The panicked brothers fled the scene, and when they returned later, the creature had disappeared, presumably carried off by waves after its death. All that was left of its presence were marks on the beach and a number of silver scales about the size of silver dollars. An extraordinary sighting took place by the entire crew of a ship bound from Buffalo NY to Toledo Ohio in July 1892, which was carried by local newspapers. The crew (including captain) saw a large area of water approx. one half mile ahead of them churned up and foaming. As they approached they saw “a huge sea serpent” that appeared to be “wrestling about in the waters, as if fighting with an unseen foe.”
They observed as the creature relaxed itself and stretched out full length (estimated at 50 ft and 4 ft in circumference) with its head sticking up above the water an additional 4 ft. The brownish creature’s eyes were described as “viciously sparkling” and large fins were also noted. Crystal Beach near Fort Erie was the scene of another sighting on May 5, 1896. This time there were four eyewitnesses who watched for 45 mins. as a 30 ft. creature with a dog shaped head and pointy tail churned up the water as it swam about until finally disappearing before nightfall. A reward of $100,000 has been offered by Huron Lagoons Marina for the capture of Bessie, dead or alive.
It saddens me when you see the 'dead or alive' tag here. Why would you kill something that has the potential to be an undocumented species? Surely encouraging a live catch is better for scientific and indeed moral purposes. I'm fairly sure you can learn more from studying a live creature than you can from an autopsy!
What is interesting however in regards to the early sightings is the fact that you have multiple witnesses, whole crews of ships testifying to the alleged events, local newspaper reporters/editors must have been convinced of the authenticity of the stories to go to print, although it's said never to believe anything you read in the newspapers so maybe it was a slow news day!
Moving on.....
Early Sightings.
Bessie first earned the name "Bessie" in a Pennsylvanian newsletter of Creature Cronicals in 1991. The editor had reports of a serpentine monster in Lake Erie, and the article considered of sightings that took place 30 years earlier. Bessie was described as a 30-50 foot long reptile as round as a bowling ball, and with a long snake like neck. The sightings recorded in the article contained a sighting from 1960, 1969, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1989, 1990. These sightings are listed below.
1960
During 1960, Ken Golic was fishing off a pier in Sandusky, when he heard two rats. He threw rocks at the sound, and then saw a large creature rise from the water. He stated the the creature was cigar shaped, and measured 1 to two feet wide, when it pushed itself out of the lake with its four flippers, then rested on a nearby beach. This occurred at 11:00 in the morning on a clear calm night.
1969
During 1969, Jim Schinder stated that a serpent came withing six feet of him near the South Bass Island in Lake Erie, He did not say how long the creature was, just that it was two feet wide.
1981
In 1981, Theresa Kovach of Akron saw a snake like reptile with flippers. She stated that it was "it was so large (it) could (have) easily capsized a boat. It seemed to be playing."
1983
Mary M. Landoll told John Scaffener about an encounter with Bessie. In the lake she saw a rowing sound, and saw what looked like a capsized boat. It was greenish brown colored, and about 40 to 50 feet long. Landoll realised it wasn't a boat, but an animal of some sort. It had a long neck, and its eye was visible from the side.

1985
Tony Schill of Akron Ohio saw a giant serpent when he was boating. It was dark brown and had a long tail. Tony stated that five humps same out of the water and that "No way it was a sturgeon." A friend was also boating with Tony, and he came face to face with the creature, and that it had five humps and was black colored. He reported the the creature was twice the size of his boat.
1989
Gail Kasner obtains a graph a boat owned from his friend. The fish finder had a sonar reading of a large cigar shaped apparition 30 feet large.
1990
During 1990, four reports of Bessie occurred. Bob Soracco was Jet Skiing in Erie, when he saw a porpoise or whale in the lake. However, porpoises and whales can't live in fresh water. Bob said that he recognized an aquatic air breather when he saw one, and that the creature had humps and cray spots. "It was very long..." he stated. Another sighting that occurred during this year was when they said it was 35 feet long, and had a snake like head. Two other sightings occurred during the same year.
Below is a picture of a Sturgeon caught in British Colombia, if you saw this in the water how would you describe it? This one has a 'pig nose' from an injury and could be considered 'snake like' in appearance? I'm just playing devils advocate here as I would imagine that if you came across a bigger version of this specimen while you were jet skiing you'd have no problem assuming you were encountering a monster.
Recent Sightings.
In 1995, in Pennsylvania's largest lake, reports of a unknown creature began. The maximum depth varies depending on the part of the lake and ranges from 1,300 ft to 490 ft. Lake Erie has no outlets and is strongly alkaline (pH 9.7–9.8) being fed by rain water and small streams flowing from the surrounding mountains.
The reports started in 1995, but didn’t really get any big attention until 1997, when a video of the creature and blurry photos were taken and even prompted a CNN.com article, published June 12th 1997. The creature is said to be about 30-50 feet in length and appears similar to a Plesiosaur or Ichthyosaurus, marine reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs.
Quite a few sightings of what appears to be a fairly large creature, I doubt very much that all of these sightings were of the same creature as to assume there is only one is preposterous, if there is indeed a yet undocumented species living in Lake Erie then there would have to be at least a small colony.
But a small colony of what? Is it beyond possibility that a prehistoric creature thought long extinct could be alive and well and living in Lake Erie? The scientific community would have us believe that it is not possible however science is proven wrong all the time so I wouldn't rule it out however improbable.
This story from Crytopia.us tells us of another weird set of attacks reported on the lake.
Image Source
Artists rendition.
Since August of 2001, an unknown aquatic predator has been savagely attacking swimmers off the icy shores of Pump House beach near Port Dover, Ontario.
Late in the summer of 2001, terror gripped Lake Erie’s coastline communities when, in a span of less than 24 hours, no less than three people (all of whom were unlucky — or flat out foolish — enough to have taken a dip off the Pump House beach) were bitten by a relatively large, razor toothed, unidentified creature.
The animal’s first victim, 47 year-old Brenda McCormack, had slipped into the water for a sunset swim when she felt what she described as a large “chomp” on the side of her right calf. The horrified McCormack hastily thrashed through the murky Lake Erie waters toward the shore. Once on dry land she discovered a six-inch series of circular puncture wounds — in the shape of a jaw — embedded in her calf muscle.
The following morning an unnamed man and his son were assailed in the same location (presumably by the same animal) after which they were swiftly rushed to the nearest medical facility. The child required hospitalization for his injuries.
It wasn’t long before a plethora of rumors began to spread through Port Dover and its neighboring communities regarding the source of these vicious attacks. Wildly speculative theories ran the gamut from a rogue school of piranhas, which were released into the wild after they grew too big for their owner’s aquarium, to a juvenile BESSIE, which may have been swimming closer to shore in search of human prey. Patricia Hall, the nurse who treated McCormack, had this to say:
“It’s the Lake Erie monster. That’s what people are joking about.
Other researchers have suggest that the beasts taking a bite out of swimmers in Lake Erie may be similar to the eel-like cryptids such as CRESSIE and OLD GREENY, which haunt Newfoundland’s Crescent Lake and Central New York’s Cayuga Lake respectively.
On August 13, 2001, the Ottawa Citizen published one of the first reports regarding these events. In that account the doctor who treated the victims of this creature admitted that he was at a loss as to the identity of this mystery attacker:
PORT DOVER – Dr. Harold Hynscht has a medical mystery on his hands. He treated three patients recently who suffered major bites on their legs after swimming in Lake Erie beside the Port Dover pump house. All were in about a meter of water when the attacks occurred. Hynscht, a diver with extensive knowledge of aquatic life, is at a loss to identify the animal that caused them. The bites were not minor. Six inches separated the wounds inflicted by the top and bottom teeth, suggesting the animal has a large mouth. ‘That’s a big, honking fish,’ Hynscht said.
The doctor has ruled out round gobies, lamprey eels, snapping turtles, walleye and other muskellunge-type fish as well as piranhas. The only species that seems plausible, Hynscht said, is the bowfin, a primitive, aggressive fish that protect their nests up to nine weeks after spawning.
One of the consistent elements of the stories I’ve heard is that it happened so fast they hardly had time to react,” Hynscht said. “Whatever is doing this is doing so because of territory. It’s not doing this because it’s hungry. Hynscht is trading information and theories with a wildlife biologist in Toronto in an effort to determine the attacker’s identity.”
Whatever this creature turns out to be, the aggressive nature of the animal in question puts it into direct conflict with the human race… and that can only mean trouble ahead.
Fairly safe to say that this series of attacks was most likely a very territorial fish rather than a prehistoric leviathan stalking the shores of Lake Erie. Although I do find it interesting that this story fed into the 'monster'myths of two other areas in North America the so called monsters being Cressie and Old Greeny.
Hmm, Nessie, Bessie & now Cressie!?
Anyone else seeing a pattern here? The story of the Loch Ness monster (Nessie) is so well ingrained in popular culture around the western world it seems that creating a name ending in 'essie' is considered the done thing when reporting upon a 'Lake Monster'.
To be fair though, most don't have names ending in 'essie' as you can see in this list of reported lake monsters from around the world. It amazing how many similar 'serpent like' creatures have been spotted throughout history all over the world.
And for those of you in the USA/CANADA, take a look at the following graphic, it appears to me that almost every lake of significance has a monster story to tell!
Final Thoughts.
In the digital age we live in almost everyone carries a mobile phone capable of digital quality photographs and video, although I am yet to see a convincing image or film of a 'lake monster'. Yes you can trawl the Internet and YouTube and find quite a few of both, none of which are convincing. Many of the lake areas listed earlier actively promote their 'monsters' in tourist literature now in the same way Loch Ness has done for a long time. Sadly I think this tactic has lessened the importance of active and thorough research into the possibility that some of these lakes may well contain species yet to be discovered or indeed a species thought long extinct.
What ever the truth is I believe in having an open mind. This and the previous post have only scratched the surface of this subject, there are many lakes dotted around the world that warrant decent research. Lake Baikal and Lake Erie are just two I picked out of the dozens that interested me, do you believe there is a chance that in one of these lakes there is a genuine monster lurking, a throwback to a forgotten period of world history. Or is every story, sighting and account bogus?
Yet another fantastic post from steemit's very own maestro of mystery @tremendospercy I have to admit that this area of research has been off my radar and so I've read these posts with great interest. I think that as with many of these myths they hold a grain of truth, perhaps Bessie is no longer with us but equally perhaps she was indeed a prehistoric beast that somehow managed to cling on and was present when the native Americans began to settle in the area. Thus her story has gradually passed from first hand account and into the realm of myth. Equally I'm still open to the idea that out of all these thousands of sightings from around the world at least one or two could indeed be valid. Indeed until fairly recently giant squid were thought to have been relegated to the realm of myth! and both new and previously extinct species are still being found throughout the oceans of this world. Larger areas I know, but interesting and equally an indication that perhaps we don't know as much as we think we do. Great work as always my friend.
Thanks for the great comment buddy. I like the hypothesis regarding Bessie. It's possible that Euroepean migration to North America was the catalyst for the demise of the creature, those old paddle boats would chew up most things let alone propellers. I'm quite confident there are still creatures around the world waiting to be discovered in our largest freshwater lakes. Time will tell....
Thanks again my freind.
This is a very mysterious and exciting article. I think these are real creatures.
Now they may have been hidden or maybe extinct.
Thanks for your exciting post
I read this writing with fear and shiver.
thank you very much
Right got to it TP. As you have provided well rounded arguments here for the monster activists and monster deniers there is little I can add except to say very interesting post on a fascinating topic. As I know that people have a tendency to exaggerate and BS, I remain sceptical of these myths, particularly in highly populated western countries. Cheers. SK.
Thanks SK.
I think if any 'creatures' survive in modern times it would be in the more remote areas such as Lake Baikal.
I share your skepticism with the 'Nessie, Cressise, Tessie and Bessie' narrative as nowadays it is definately a tourist attraction, quite often to economically depressed areas.
The older sightings have more credence IMO as they were often witnessed by many people at the same time, maybe once areas became densely populated and bodies of water polluted it saw an end to the ecosystem they were used to and finished them off.
Who knows buddy!?
Cheers mate TP.
Makes sense mate. Still remember the old Nessie tale of some family in the 17th century heading somewhere when a huge mystical creature simply emerges from the loc and crosses the road in front of there cart. Really? Perhaps! Or perhaps they were simply running late for Church and needed a good excuse. But a part of me wants it to be true. And therein my friend, lays the problem. : )
It's not so hard for me to believe that some animals from our distant past have survived! Especially in the water!! We still have some strange dinosaur looking animals on the surface...
I believe it too babe, the deepest oceans have many secrets to reveal so I'm sure our rivers and lakes do too.
It's easy to dismiss many of these sightings as hoaxes or tourist driven BS ad that may well be the case, however many of these sightings started way before modern tourism was even thought of.
I won't be dipping my toes in any foreign lakes any time soon, I'm still ok with the UK ones but that's it!
Thanks for reading, supporting and commenting babe ❤️❤️
Yes, you may want to avoid the great Lakes when you come visit here haha, steer clear of the Okanagan too lol.
Haha, I was going to do Okanagan in this post instead of Lake Erie but changed my mind.
There are so many stories about monsters, it's hard to believe which ones are the real deal. I quite enjoy watching River Monsters and seeing how just a big fish can be percieved to be a "monster" in many communities.
Very interesting topic to read.
Thanks buddy, yes the waters have been muddied by media sensationalism over the years, I suspect many are hoaxes to help with local tourism however there is no smoke without fire. I suspect there are a few of these lake that do contain something. What I couldn't say, I'll let the scientist sort that one out.
Cheers for reading buddy.
Love River Monsters. Jeremy Wade is a Beast, pardon the pun !
Totally, some of the things that dude has dragged out of the water are true monsters.
Check this one.......
A giant piranha caught in the Congo.....
Fuck that, you wouldn't get me in that water!
that's incredible.. who needs to invoke lake monsters when you have fish with teeth like a lion ? that thing would snap you in half. I didn't even know such things existed, and I have probably watched at least 30 episodes of Jeremy Sherlock Holmes Wade's River Monster's program !
You got SNEKKED!

Thanks so much Snekky!
Wow what an honour to be picked out by Steemit's coolest snake.
Have an apple babe 🍎
❤️❤️
I had no idea sturgeons are in Canadian lakes? Is that really true? I have upvoted and resteemed. You may want to see one of gavvet's latest posts also refering to prehistoric creatures.
Yes mate they live in freshwater lakes all over the world.
I'll check out those posts.
Cheers for reading and commenting mate, and I appreciate the resteem 😉
Had no idea they live in freshwater lakes all over the world, thought they were only common in Eurasia etc..

A Lake Erie Sturgeon here.
Plenty more to see on YT mate.
Plenty of old aboriginal bunyip stories, too.
Your conclusion is just in every way possible.
No matter what the cases may be, if it be something that is "unknown to us" or if it be pure imagination sprinkled with a bit of fear by those who have seem "something", the truth is yet to be determined.
Mythology of the past has been based on many things, so too the mythology such as the stories created in more modern days of human history is likewise based on many things.
With technology advancing at the rate it is, I am very certain when I say that it shan't be long til we know the truth about many things out there, including these "monsters" that lurk the deep waters.
Thanks for the cool read!
Thanks mate, I hope you're right.
It would be great to see a live capture of a supposed long dead creature. I doubt if it would ever happen in a North American lake, I think it's more likely to be in Russia/Asia where a specimen has survived as there has been less human activity.
Cheers for reading and commenting buddy.
Well, thank you! I already won't kayak in the south because of gators, but, lake snakes, monsters and the like, especially those kind of teeth?
Yeah, no thank you.
But, the story is great! Upped and Steemed tip!
Thank you so much, and thanks for reading.
Probably wise to steer clear of the alligators, I'd imagine it would be pretty scary if you were in a kayak and came across a 30-40 ft beast!
Brown trouser time for sure 😂
Thanks for picking my neck of the woods! I work in Erie and have lived near (with in an hour drive) all my life. Being a local, I knew some of the stories, but I didn't know how Erie came by her name. As a young girl, I was very interested in Bessie and read all I could find on her and Bessie
I remember the local papers over the Pump House attacks. Keep that toothy fish far from me!! Erie seems to always have strange happenings (I'm glad I only work here, now)
I actually stopped swimming in lake Erie when I got sick as a teenage girl. There is too much factory waste allowed to drain in it. It probably killed the beasts.
We also have many tales of Bigfoot in NW Pennsylvania...
https://exemplore.com/cryptids/Bigfoot-in-Pennsylvania
I'm sharing with the locals on my Facebook and Twitter 😁❤
Thanks babe, I wondered if someone from the area would read this post. I'm glad it's you babe.
The pollution aspect was something I'd not considered, the older sightings were much more convincing as they often had multiple witnesses such as in 1863 when a whole ships crew witnessed the event.
Since then I'm sure all manner of shit has been pumped into the lake. It wouldn't be the first time the actions of humans led to the downfall of another species.
Thanks for reading and commenting babe ❤️
I really enjoyed the information and I was thrilled to recognize so many things about Bessie. I nearly forgot both stories. I hope the people on my Facebook read. A large amount are Erieites!
Shared on Twitter, too.
Thanks again babe ❤️
That sturgeon is kinda big O_O Seen head on that size or bigger I'd probably take a fair while to identify it as a fish, side on or even top down is less of a problem XD And like anyone else I'd probably be out of the water first and asking questions later :O
It's entirely possible that all these stories are just stories that are too good to remain untold, just add your local flavour. I don't know if I told you about how I had this discussion with someone on dA and expanded on it with my sister in chat, about how there seem to be a lot of strikingly similar ghosts throughout Asia. We were all wondering, could there be some truth to this? Or the stories are just that good they need to be spread? XD
I'm with you, I'd be on my toes if anything that massive was in the water with me.
Its amazing how often you hear similar stories across huge tracts of land from unconnected people's. I think that there is possibly a common source of the stories that originate in deep antiquity. Over vast amounts of time the stories migrate with people as they migrate across the continents.
Thanks for reading and commenting 😉
Hi @tremendospercy! You have received 0.1 SBD tip + 0.04 SBD @tipU from @dswigle :)
Check out new tipuvote! feature :)
Cheers.
You finally remembered the link!!! :) also, that picture with the teeth and skinny dipping comment sent chills down my back. I’m already scared of lakes and rivers, but now I’ll pretty much avoid them!
Yes, finally!
Hey, you think it sent shivers down your spine, us blokes have way more 'dangly bits' to worry about when skinny dipping. I'd be petrified of having my love tackle chewed off!
Excellent Article Sir Percival. I've had a life long interest in cryptozoology and Cryptids. Interesting that on the poster a large proportion of the creatures look the same.
A very good friend of mine once saw a similar creature in Tanzania, when he was boy. He'd lost his monkey and at the very bottom of their large garden, he saw basically a Dinosaur on the other side of the fence. He describes it like a Plessie. He's one of the most trustworthy people I know.
Thanks mate.
I don't doubt the story as there are many reported sightings. I can't wait until someone gets a decent photo or video, better still a live capture. Until then these creatures will always be considered mythical.
Cheers for reading and commenting dude.
I think all the good stuff goes in drawers. The Santilli Roswell dead alien film, hotly anticipated and utter shite, but still made $80m in sales was a classic example of crypto hype ! I watched an interview in which Ray said he had seen the original film and was supposed to buy it from a mysterious buyer who then disappeared, so he tried to recreate it. the result was so amateurish I remember shouting at the tv.. perhaps he did see it. $80m ????? whatttt.
I reckon this below, is one of the only real alien pictures available on the internet. (I might be wrong but I think this is actually the real thing. I can't tell you where (s)he's from.)
The paterson-gimlin film, which was supposed to be a hoax is also perhaps (for me) the best and only really compelling Bigfoot film ever. I did some of my own analysis on it and it appears like we see a genuine thigh muscle flex in it's footstep. If it was a costume, and I really don't think it was, it was an incredibly good one with some award winning casting in the actor. The legs and gait do not seem human.
Bookmarked for digestion at a later time ;-)
Cheers bud.
Good, solid post! I love the thought of having some mysterious Sea Serpents around the Globe. I think, on one hand, that there are indeed creatures of this sort somewhere (although not as big as all that b/c I believe someone would have credible pictures of it); and on the other I think they're tourist gimmicks.
Then again, I think it's only a matter of time before Alien Races present themselves to us.
Thanks for reading and commenting mate.
If/when they do reveal themselves I hope they've benevolent or were all in the shit!
True story! Unless they try to enslave us through benevolent actions (a la Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man). At that point we may just be quickly overtaken, lol.
Awesome post, and really interesting topic.
Recently watched BBC Blue Planet 2 and I'd love to see a documentary about mythological deep sea creatures :D (Any recommendations?)
The last picture is very intriguing to me ^^ I don't know US monsters, except of a few that I've heard of in movies. I will definitely check some of the names out, maybe get some inspiration for new art :D
I'd take a look on YT as everything that has been in TV is pretty much on there.
I'm sure you'll find plenty of inspiration.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
Yeah great reminder! Definitely should :D Recently found the old dragons (fantasy) documentary. ^^
There very well be monsters lurking beneath the surface of any lake in the world. They could survive quite nicely in all the rocky caverns. You just never know...
I completely agree.
you need a job with the national enquirer. come visit chat so i can tease you.
Haha, they don't pay enough 😉
A contest could be run about writing stories with cryptids in it. Or poems! It's a topic that lends itself to such endeavors.
I've never believed in the existence of actual lake monsters around the world, at least not the way they are described or portrayed by media. Giant dinosaurs living in 19m deep waters and not having been captured in photos or film so far? Hardly likely! Even though the Great Lakes are, well, really extensive.
That said, I think it could very well be an unknown variant of a species or something of the sort, or perhaps individual specimen that grow to giant sizes in the closed environment that are lakes. Maybe even invasive species growing to absurd sizes thanks to not having predators in the area!
I mean, look at that sturgeon! Make it twice or even thrice that size and it won't only pass for a monster, it would be a monster.
Great work dear.keep going on
Thank you.
Nice post, you took your time to provide this masterpiece.... Thumb up
this post is very beautiful and very interesting. thanks.
nice bro
That Cute Monster :}
I like this information, it's new and exciting. Thank you very much and I want more of you.
Thank you
Are they real? They are scary

The deepest ocean has not been search yet. I'm sure there's a huge monster or animal hiding there somewhere maybe mutated or alien in nature.
Though I am not interested in myths and don't believe it also.
But what I like your last gif.....
Can I get it?
I became speechless.
And still speechless.
Nice information.
I learnt a lot from this.
Heya! Check out the Ogopogo of the Okanagan, and cudos to you if you get into the real native american myth of it!
