Used to visit grandma’s lake front cabin at Turtle lake as a kid. My cousin and I would point out to each other when we thought we saw the monster out in the waves. Usually a group of waves or large dark driftwood logs floating by. I miss going to grandma’s cabin. 😢
My Navajo elders always said their are creatures in the water, mountains, canyons and other places where we should not go. Stay away from the water, even if it's a stream and caves. There's where people disappeared.
These stories are great fuel for the imagination. Thanks for your hard work, and thank you for being here to share these stories with us, Hammer. You're doing a good job.
Back in 1984 I was camping with my family in Summerland . I'm 50 now . The Campsite was along Lakeshore by Cresent Beach . Now a house sits there. One afternoon a group of us kids at the time all around 8 to 10 yrs old were invited to go knee boarding by 2 locals, men in their 20s. We all took turns , parents as well . I took my turn , on the way back they put me in a whip and I went way out and was hanging on for dear life . I saw floating and bobbing in the waves in front of me what appeared to be a 100 foot long tree , it looked black and as I approached I braced for an impact . What I hit and jumped off the back of what soft and not a tree . As I went over it , it appeared to be as round as a minivan and dark colors like a boa constrictor. I landed the jump after going airborne. The spotter was freaking out as with the driver and took me in quick. After I got onto the beach I asked them what I hit ... ??? The spotter was freaking out saying iiiiii don't know kid .... I think ya hit a water Buffalo , they grabbed their gear and were gone ... my mom asked what happened. Told her I hit something massive in the middle of the lake and it was alive . Images of the back and mid section of a water Buffalo do resemble what I hit . I did not look behind me after landing the "jump" . I will not swim in any lakes in b.c , don't like boats either. That was enough for me .
It is time to tell my story. I am 78 years old and have taught Psychology for 45 years, so I am rooted in the scientific method. About 12 years ago my husband and I witnessed a sea creature that we could not identify. It never broke the surface of the water and did not breath so not a whale or seal, but it produced a wake that we watched from about 100 yards out directly toward us on the shore. The wake grew from inches to about a foot 25 feet from the shore. Both of us simultaneously began to back away for the water, until then neither of us had spoken about what we watched. The wake simply disappeared about 15 feet from the shore. We stood and watched for another 20 minutes but saw nothing break the surface. The weather was still, no boats in the area.
I find it funny that the first thing people feel they need to do is establish they are not crazy even someone with a doctorate in psychology. Why is that? We literally know more about outer space than our own oceans and what we know is generally within 1000ft from the surface. Anything could be down there, even species thought extinct by millions of years like the coelacanth that they caught off the coast of Madagascar and now we can watch video of them swimming around down there at 650 feet. So why the general disbelief? Arrogance from thinking man has figured out the world long ago? Or fear in not wanting to entertain the thought of a creature like that existing and the ramifications of it. The Bible speaks of leviathan yet nobody has found anything that accurately fits the description….yet.
@@The67wheelman well put, I guess I was justifying my own self-doubt, but you are so right about our lack of knowledge about our own planet. BTW my Ph.D. in psych leaves me woefully lacking in physical sciences, but I still have a love of learning about the world around us.
I live in Penticton (very south of Okanagan Lake). The legend of Ogopogo is that natives here (Indians or First Nations) would cross from a small city called Peachland to Rattlesnake Island and would sacrifice a small animal (basically throw overboard a tied up animal) to prevent being attacked by the Ogopogo (which is what is exactly being told on this video). Now something more modern is the building of the new Kelowna bridge where workers that dived below for construction saw some "really big" fish underwater. The Ogopogo is alleged to be a massive sturgeon. Some side facts, a native brother of mine told me Rattlesnake Island has a cave you can enter with a small boat only if the water is low enough on the lake and/or depending on the moon. For those reading DO NOT ATTEMPT because the water can rise really quickly and you can be trapped there. Inside the cave is said to have pictographs/cave drawings.
Peachland is a small town of just over 6000 ppl. Summerland 12000 ppl ... small - mid size town. Penticton 35200 ppl very small city. Kelowna is a small-mid city of 160 000 Vancouver 680 000 (similar to Portland, Oregon) Just setting the scene for those new to our area.
I worked on the MacKenzie river bridge near hay river . The local first nation's saw us wake boarding behind the work jet boat on a day off. They said they never enter the water because a big creature lurked in the river.
I saw a 40 foot long giant eel-like creature corkscrewing it's way up the Ottawa River about 10 years ago. It was about 2 1/2 feet in diameter and had slick, dark brown leathery skin. Its head and tail were submerged so sadly I didn't get a look at its face. I nearly got video of it on my old ipod shuffle but it was moving too quickly up river. Funny what you see when you spend enough time in certain places..
Funny to hear you say “THE CREATOR”. Never thought of you as believer in creation (not that I am) but it stood out as odd to me. Total respect if that’s so. Awesome channel bro!
Many Native stories are ancient, more than most understand, and if you look at many of the Pleistocene animals now identified, many of these creatures seem to be remembered in these stories...
This is actually true, my people have a very very old story about “earth shaker” that was a mastodon. And our story about a huge cat is referred to as what translates to “big lynx” but it’s referring to a sabretooth cat that had a spotted coat.
Awesome job Hammerson! As always!don't you find it intriguing that many of today's reported lake creatures and those reported off shore are mainly found within a small area of longitude? So many are seen within these northern longitudinal areas! What do you suppose is the reason for this? Many with such similar descriptions of appearance too! There's definitely something to be said about this! Thankyou again Hammerson, jason in England 🏴 x 🇨🇦
Im on Vamcouver island... I saw something in Cameron lake that was either a salamander 8'+ long or a sturgeon.... it was doing figure 8s in the calm water making a very turbulent section ....it then went under.. only to appear fairly far away and do the same thing... there was 4 of us that saw it... nobody to this day know what it was...
Good luck finding it, but there is a book in French called Monstres des lacs du Quebec that covers many intersting stories from Quebec. The one I'm talking about is from 1982 by M Meurger, can't comment on the more recent one with a similar name from a different author. I remember renting it from the local library about 20 years ago, doubt it's ever been properly translated.
Ive been long lining on and off for 30 yrs off Vancouver Island . One season when i first started .A strange creature was hooked ,it looked like a dugong .It was around 7ft long. White and had folds in its skin texture. Sadly when we yarded it up the hook ripped out.
It is quite probable that water supports the largest mammals ever. What we can say beyond any shadow of a doubt is water most definitely supports the largest fish ever.
Near where I live in SE alaska they actually found a fossil of the guunacedit(i know i did not spell that right) but it proved it was truly a real creature. Although it was a dosile creature with a long snout to eat crustaceans out of rock crevices!
Umm?....@30:41, top right, just before picture fades out...Im not too sure that's just a tree. Noticed, then the WT? and went back over it a few times. Very "interesting" looking Tree
From the ogopogo or Shuswaggi there are many weird stories of monsters in BC lakes but BC also has some of the most undocumented lakes in all of canada possibly meaning undiscovered fish species everywhere
Why is there no mention of the monster of Memphrémagog lake? Coming from Quebec I can assure you this one is far more well-known as the lake Champlain one. I am very surprised it didn't make the cut
He has talked about it before if I recall. I mean come on over 2 hours of his work. Be happy this is first class work done by one of the best you tube video makers out there. I have asked him for more on the little people and bam next video was about the little people. That was long ago but ask away, you never know. He may be working on a long video on your subject and just isn't done with it. Or maybe it's on the list. Good luck
Well, could these sea monsters be the ghosts of aquatic dinosaurs who all died unusually in the midst of the great mass extinction? I once saw a sea serpent swimming around in Chief Lake. I watched it for about an hour until it went out of sight. I wondered at one point if it could have been a group of sturgeons swimming at the surface, side by side, one after the other. Also, a native Indian family recounted seeing a sea monster in a lake on their trapline, as well as seeing a hairy man going about on the trap line.
Hi Hammerson I love all of your content, and have been following your work for a few years now. I've only gotten one hour into this video but simply had to stop because of the sheer volume of commercial ads. I'm sorry, but I simply can't handle that amount/frequency of commercial ad interruptions. I'm afraid IF that is the new norm. I may no longer follow your channel. Best wishes. Daniel

You should do a video on the ancient copper mines of the great lakes, there's sufficient evidence to prove most of the copper used in the Bronze age came from. Those surface mines. The Bronze age ended around 2100 bc, but up til then the Phoenicians and fellow sailors frequently went to Britain for tin and up the Mississippi to those ancient mines there is archeological artifacts to show that many middle eastern cultures made their way up the Mississippi, some are texts written on stone or copper plates, others such as Roman swords and coins. There is some evidence that a cave filled with Egyptian artifacts was found somewhere along the Mississippi and the description that was left by those who lived there said they were the Ptlolomeic family of Pharoahs fleeing the Roman conquest of Egypt
This is my jam, water cryptids are my obsession and I'm Canadian. Thanks Mr. Peters.

More please

As a Kelowna kid born and raised. These are so awesome. Thank you
As always thank you for the video.
2 and a half hours just went like that. Thanks Hammerson!
These stories are great fuel for the imagination. Thanks for your hard work, and thank you for being here to share these stories with us, Hammer. You're doing a good job.
Yes please i have heard of even a recent sighting last year theirs so much more to our reality, dimensions portals and the unseen
I always enjoy these stories. Thank you.
Again, like always. Enjoy these great stories from Canada. 👍
Always, always, always a true pleasure to listen to your wonderful content, Mr. Peter’s. Thank you ❤️🔥

Thank you Mr. Peters for sharing these stories with us! Have a wonderful day! ✌🏼😊
Cheers from lake country okanagan valley.bc 🇨🇦
I look at okanagan lake from where I live.💙 🐉
Have you ever seen anything like Ogopogo in the lake?
Theres also native stories about lake chelan Washington st...( very deep lake) has a creature named Ogopogo
Good morning my friend. Hope you are doing well today. Thank you for the great video.❤❤❤❤❤

I think backing away from the water was a great idea!
What state?

Another wonderful video! One thing these teachers us that parents even 500 years ago created monsters to keep children safe.
So true.
Excited to dive in!
I sea what you did there.
One of my favorite topics. Looking forward to watching this one.

Really? That is amazing! I am fascinated by water serpents.
@darryll4049 They exist, you just have to sit next to the water long enough for one to break the surface..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I highly doubt your story as ipod shuffles were not capable of taking videos, they don't even have a camera.
@Bull3tBikes Mine had a 2 megapixel crap one, but it would have been better than nothing. I'm just saying it like it is, this one actually did.
great video with the water monsters legends
Lived in Osoyoos in 2004 and had always enjoyed the mysteries and tales. Great memories, thanks!
Lake chelan in Washington state has native American stories about Ogopogo also. Interesting. Its one of the deepest lakes.
This is my first impression of your work and WOW! I loved this so much!❤ thank you

Any more about Champ specifically would be awesome. Great stuff

It is quite probable that water supports the largest mammals ever. What we can say beyond any shadow of a doubt is water most definitely supports the largest fish ever.
And even whales / turtles and other water creatures can live hundreds of years
I would suppose that only water would hold the largest fish ever
@@liukang85 😂🤣
YES!!!
Hope your throat is feeling better 👍
Hearing Nelson described as a “silver mining” town when I grew up there is pretty funny. It was an arts town when I lived near there in the nineties.
There's big critters exactly like this in the coastal Klamath/Trinity River watersheds of Northern California.
