Ok... I know some of you guys have seen my Loch Ness Monster topic, and here's another thing that i found pretty interesting and i wanted to show you guys. 
| Quote: | | Canada's most famous water monster is Ogopogo of Lake Okanagan in the south central interior of British Columbia. Although Indian legends support a monster living in Okanagan Lake long before white men arrived in this country, Ogopogo is very much a present day phenomenon. Each year, sightings are reported of a creature some 20 to 50 feet long, with a horse shaped head and an undulating serpent like body! Okanagan Lake is about 80 miles long extending from Vernon at the north end to Penticton in the south with the fast growing city of Kelowna in the center. Sightings have been reported throughout the length of the lake but the monster appears to favour an area just south of Kelowna in waters near Peachland |
Here's the Link http://www.tourcanada.com/ogopogo.htm
Here is a pic of what they say the creature looks like

Is this one real? or is it another myth? What do you guys think?

I am kind of torn between the two. I am terrified of the ocean because we have no idea what is there. Well... we have an idea, but it is mostly unknown.
I'm sure there are creatures on this planet that have gone undetected.
Where are the unicorns though???

I saw something about this on a television show a while ago. It did not look like that dragon shown in the picture, but it was pretty scarry.
Makes you think twice before you go into open waters. No, I don't think it is real. Neither is bigfoot.

It exist you just cant find the proof because anything that lives in a big lake and constantly moves is impossible to find unless you drain the lake of water.

Yep. Even though they did radar sweeps of Loch Ness they couldn't find Nessie because it was toooooo big a lake and the monster had been there for ages and could hide well.

Ogopogo...wow, what a nonintimidating name for a monster. As for it existing, eh, I'm open to the idea.
