Dezmond
Nice creature. Still don't have any trust they are real, but i would like anyone to post any more info about the pics.
Mysteryman
I dont believe theirs enough evidence at all to conclude that theirs a living dinosaur roaming around in Lake Ogopogo.
Walken
Wait til CR gets back online, hes the ogopogo master.

Nearly all of tee evidence is photographic. Many have been debunked, though.
Mysteryman
This site is all on Ogopogo and is basically the home site of Ogopogo/pictures/links/stories, etc.

Don't worry,i'll get some real pics.Hopefully i'll see ogopogo again,but i'll take pics of the surroundings and stuff too.
Walken
Will you post those as well?
Mysteryman
I'll be in sleep away camp for the summer/ sucks, I can't keep posting...
Walken
lol, would've thought you'd have had enougth by now! tongue.gif

N/m. Make up for it when you get back with all night stake outs.
Mysteryman
Haha, yeah - and some camp legends and my encounter with Bigfoot their, lol.
Walken
lol, Like I always say. If you see something, take a picture. If you don't, draw a black smudge on a picture and say you did. tongue.gif
Mysteryman
Well the problem with that (and also is included in the introduction of every book involving cryptozoology) is that usually when the cases of a cryptid occur, you aren't carrying a camera. Thats why when many clear pictures are taken of Bigfoot or other random cryptids, many fight that it could be so clear. Because also when (if you are or happen to carry a camera on you) take a picture, you become nervous, scared, excited and the picture becomes all fuzzy due to the nerves rambling through your body.
Walken
Thats actually been talked over many times, and you're the first person to hold the same view point as me.

Well done, Mr. Mysterey. thumbsup.gif

Lake Okanagon is awsome, one of the most beutiful places in Canada. Same with the Alberta badlands.

But back on topic, when the natives described Ogopogo, they were terrified of it. But now most views of the Ogopogo are that it's friendly and playful, and some say they saw it at a baptism. Whats with the change?
Walken
People fear nature and animals less? I don't know.

Dolphins were once feared as sea monsters, I guess.

It just doesn't seem REAL to have a huge agreesive creature roaming a lake without somebody getting bumped off, after all. People probably just think that it's more likley it keeps itself to itself. Sometimes just gets a little curiose.
MJB222
The natives also told their children not to go in the lake because they would would get eaten. I believe in Ogopogo, but could it be a possibility that it's just a story to keep people out of the lake?

Because probably originally, they would fear it coming to land but as they got more informed about what it could possibly be and got more educated, they realized that it wouldn't come to land. But now, its imitations are in parks, etc. I believe people try to make the best out of something that is unknown and may seem frightening.

Wow! tongue.gif Cool pics! Now, don't start thinking I don't belive in this monster, but SOME of those pics could have easily been a log or otters or something like that. But some of them I couldn't say anything like that about! Cool! grin2.gif
jessicalawes11
The films are cool too. I can't make out the 'head' she talks about in the second film, but that's probably just me.
Walken
CR is bias because he has had an encounter with Ogopogo.

I think it may be explotied for that purpose, but I do beleive it exsists.
XSAS
Yes there is definately something in the lakes around the world... of all the Lochs in scotland, if you were going to start a rumour of a fake sighting hundreds of years ago, you would choose what appears to be the largest lake to give your story some credibility... like the one with the largest surface area, Loch Lomond but no it happens to be in the biggest body of fresh Water in the UK Loch Ness, a body of water that can hide the Worlds population 3 times over under the surface or hide all the cathedrals in europe below it's surface and then you compare Loch Ness to the bigger lakes around the world and in comparison it is a puddle, what do people keep sseeing in these Lakes and Lochs, whay are their different eyewitness accounts on the descritption???
Walken
People don't realise just how HUGE the loch is.
Mysteryman
A real deal problem of trying to find Nessie is:

- It is extremely deep.
- It is extremely cold.
- The water is very murky.

I came along this site:
http://www.loch-ness.org/sections/themyste...candidates.html

Interesting facts -
Walken
Lots of shoreline too.
Mysteryman
And shoreline, nice.
XSAS
Talking about shoreline... it is amazing how there are still not many places from the road that you can't see the loch, there are very few vantage points and places to stop, so you can understand why thre aren't as many sightings as they should be.
Walken
Uh-huh.

I've only visited the loch once, and found a (fake) gold chain. I threw it back because it was all rusty and gross.

I was 11. I remember all of the locals were really capitaliseing on it. There were models of sea monsters in ponds by hotels and evreything.

There were also some old folks who owned the inn we stayed at. One night we actually had dinner with them. They were really nice but hated all of the tourist attractions that were built up around the place. The wife of the owner said she saw the monster when she was very young.
