    I've seen it twice. Once in 95 and again in 99. I met a man that used to swim from Penticton to Vernon for charity. He wore goggles while swam and told me that he would see 2 or 3 at a time swimming 30 to 50 feet below him as if they were curious. He said it was unnerving at times but they never got any closer. Only when they would turn on their side and make eye contact would he get freaked out and have to climb in the escort boat for a bit until he got enough courage to get back in the water and hopefully they had moved along.

      Did he ever describe what they looked like?

      I don't recall his name. This was in the mid 90s. He said they varied in length but were 40-70 ft long. Big around as a 45 gal drum with a hoarse like head.
      I imagine his name could be found by researching old Kelowna Courier newspaper articles throughout the 90s/early 2000s. He did the swim for a number of years.

    Lots closer than Loch Ness... Good for drawing tourist with money.... The local economy is obviously thriving by selling"authentic" Ogopogo memorabilia...🤑🤑🤑
    Just love how the government stepped in and made it illegal to hunt or endanger something that probably doesn't exist...
    Brilliant PR for the locals!!!! Gotta love it!!!!

    just to clarify for everyone, that big shape of the creature at the end, when he was swimming, was just put there on the video, it wasn’t actually something in the water at the time.

    at 1:53, how/why does that guy assume that his picture was of anything other than a log? he didn’t say, and we weren’t told. i say that WAS a log, and need to hear some reasoning why it isn’t. especially since right after he mentioned them sitting still for days or months, which sounds suspiciously more like a log to me, than ogopogo!

    It's crazy that today is the first time I've seen your video. I released a UA-cam documentary about a local lake monster in my area (Utah, USA) the very same month you released your documentary. You've got great animation and motion graphics. Maybe the our two monsters are related in some way. You never know ...

    According to a girl that got real close to one, it had a split tail, unlike a trout. From a book back in the 80s-90s. Very close to her behind a boat. She was in the water and it was right near her. That would suck !

    If Oggopogo is real then so is sasquatch

    • @kyleklmondwa9042
      @kyleklmondwa9042 2 роки тому

      Sasquatch is probably the same thing as UFO's Aliens and Ghosts (all Satanic Fallen Angels that are here to deceive human kind). Ogopogo/Nessie might be actual creatures but the longer we go without anyone catching them or finding a dead carcass the more likely it is they are Fallen Angels also.
