Cryptid of the Day: Ogopogo
Description: Canada’s most famous lake monster, Ogopogo was first seen in 1872 by author Susan Allison, though tales of aquatic beasts living in Lake Okanagan have been around since natives inhabited the region. According to folklore, the monster is said to live in caves underneath Rattlesnake Island.

Finally got some proper photography done of my cryptid patches, since every one gets hand drawn before I embroider them they always end up with a lot of personality.

Ogopogo Lake Monster
Nessie in Canada?
From the essay:
Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada is home to the fabled Ogopogo Lake Monster. Descriptions of Ogopogo vary, but it is often depicted as a serpentine creature with a long, undulating body. Some accounts suggest it resembles a large snake or a prehistoric plesiosaur, with dark, smooth skin and the capacity to move swiftly through water. Local folklore describes its length as between 15 and 50 feet, endowing it with a formidable presence.

I don’t have to know any more about Christianity/the Bible to be justified in rejecting its claims than I need to be an expert on Bigfoot, Nessie, or the Ogopogo to reject their existence.

"CAPE BRETON LAKE HAS SEA SERPENT," Brantford Expositor. April 20, 1934. Page 3. ---- Monster Has Startled the Residents for 60 Years ---- SYDNEY, N.S., April 20. - (CP) - Down around Serpent Lake they've been listening for a long time to these sea monster yarns. They've heard about British Columbia's Cadborosaurus and her Ogopogo; of the Caribbean sea beast, and of the monster that lurks in the Scottish Loch Ness.
And the time has come, they're saying now, to show up these monsters for what they really are just upstarts. For little Serpent Lake, just outside Sydney. has the original sea serpent. Or so they will tell you. For that matter, the oldest inhabitants aver, the lake's calm waters may house a whole family of serpents. At any rate, if there's only one, he's a might old monster. Very likely the patriarch of all present- day monsters, for he or his descendants has been kicking around the lake these 60 years and more.
The present generation remembers when he was first seen, about 60 years ago. It was a sunny spring day, and the women of the district had gone down to the lake to wash the sheep's wool after the shearing.
They paid little attention to a big log floating offshore-until it start- ed moving swiftly towards land. Terrified, they ran, leaving the wool on the bank. When they returned with the menfolk, the beast had dis- appeared.
Probably the men didn't take much stock in the story then. But after a few more residents had seen the same thing, they became interested One day a group went down to the lake prepared to finish off this serpent, or whatever it was.
The roar of exploding dynamite echoed across the lake. Bodies of small fish popped to the surface, but that was all. This was evidently a tough monster. Anyway, he survived to give two boys the fright of their lives when they threw stones at a big log some years later.
The boys ran home and told their parents he had reared up 15 feet out of the water. Other youths claimed to have seen him again the following winter, crashing through the coating of ice on the lake surface.
But the nearest thing to a description of the serpent comes from an aged lady living now in Sydney. who says she saw him while she was in a boat on the lake a few years ago. Forty-five feet she says he stands-swims, rather-with skin like an elephant. Huge flippers propel him through the water at a terrific clip.
Now what about Caddy, Ogopogo and Company? Ask the Serpent Lake residents.
