A Legend Hunter's Search for Ogopogo the Elusive Creature of Okanagan Lake - Hardcover

Kelowna resident Bill Steciuk didn't believe in Ogopogo. But that was about to change. In October of 1978, while driving across the bridge from the west side of Lake Okanagan, he saw something in the water that made him stop his car. All the traffic behind him also stopped, and he was soon joined at the rail by a small crowd of onlookers, all of whom saw what Bill had seen: a serpentine head with three black humps behind it. They watched the creature for nearly a minute, after which time it disappeared beneath the surface, leaving a substantial wake. Bill knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that he had just seen the legendary lake creature, Ogopogo.

Stories of Ogopogo in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley date back several centuries- originating with the Syilx Peoples' stories of N'ha-a-itk, the sacred spirit of the lake-and sightings are frequent, but the truth about Ogopogo remains elusive. After that day in 1978, Bill dedicated himself to Ogopogo research and exploratory expeditions, in search of answers. What is Ogopogo? An ancient creature from the age of dinosaurs? What are eyewitnesses seeing, and which sightings are genuine?

With lucidity and suspense, A Legend Hunter's Search for Ogopogo the Elusive Creature of Okanagan Lake documents the startling findings of a twenty-five-year inquiry into one of the most fascinating cryptozoological mysteries in the world.
