Summary
Located in British Columbia, Lake Okanagan is over 80 miles long and is a popular destination for fishers and boaters. It has a storied and rich history, with tales told by native populations for centuries - including the legend of Ogopogo. Ogopogo is said to be an enormous serpent-like creature, which has haunted the deep waters of Lake Okanagan for centuries. Sightings both old and new, as well as a wealth of indigenous tales have led many to believe that the existence of Ogopogo is much more than just a story. As sightings continue to this day, in many ways the legend has become Canada’s very own Loch Ness Monster.
Author of the new book from Small Town Monsters Publishing, The Legend of Ogopogo: Canada's Loch Ness Monster, Jason Hewlett, joins Darkness Radio today to talk about the creature. We also discuss where it is a living breathing animal, or lake spirit. The culture surrounding Ogopogo, and then expand out to Sasquatch and UFO's and how they relate to this wacky landscape!
