Some people certainly seem to think so.

This latest evidence of the legendary Ogopogo of Okanagan Lake comes courtesy of local resident Natasha Chalmers who had been out for a walk one morning when she spotted a rainbow.

When she began photographing the spectacle, she noticed something unusual moving in the water.

"This thing popped up out of pretty calm water and then it started to move forward in that, kind of arch that you see popping up," she told Castanet."There were no birds anywhere nearby at all. Initially, I thought it almost looked like it poked up like a duck bottom, I thought it was a bird. And then I realized it wasn't because that's when it went back down."

"And then all of a sudden those waves started popping up."

In her footage, which can be viewed below, the anomalous waves are perfectly visible, but it remains unclear exactly what it was she encountered that morning.

"So I kind of, you know... it had that iconic Ogopogo look but it could be a wave, I don't know," she said.

"But once it was down, it just was gone. There was nothing after that."
