The Ogopogo was first know as Naitaka (meaning lake demon) a traditional native American name given to it by the local Okankane tribe. The name Ogopogo comes from a 1926 English music hall song called "The Ogo-Pogo:The Funny Fox Trot"
The most common description of Ogopogo is a 40-50 foot long sea serpent. Some think it may be a kind of serpentine whale,however physical evidence is limited to unclear photos and film which could be common animals or even floating logs.
Several TV shows have been made about the mystery. There are many similarities between Ogopogo and Scotland's Loch Ness monster. Though Nessie is perhaps the more well known of the two, Ogopogo made its media debut in 1926 long before Nessie,and has records of sightings as far back as 1872.
I don't know what it is about the different legends that fascinates me but there are many of them on several continents. I guess I just love a mystery.
