Ogopogo Witness Makes Stunning Recovery
Posted by: John Kirk on January 26th, 2007
Readers may remember that we wrote of the terrible accident that badly injured Ogopogo witness Josh Casorso. Josh was aboard a train in India when he went out on the roof to get a breath of fresh air and was then struck by 45,000 volts of electricity.

Update on Josh Casorso’s Condition
He was hospitalized in India and the in Vancouver, but thanks to Josh’s indomitable spirt, the prayers and good wishes of his family, his church community, the people of Kelowna and many Cryptomundo readers, Josh is proof of a living miracle.
CHBC Television in Kelowna is carrying an online video of Josh’s amazing recovery here .
Some of the video is quite graphic so readers are warned that burns are shown. However, this shows what an incredible recovery young Josh has undergone in the space of just a few months.
We wish Josh an even more accelerated return to full health.

Thanks for the update on this unique young man and his continuing remarkable recovery from such a horrendous injury. My heartfelt prayers are always with Josh for a complete recovery so he can once again pursue his love and interest in cryptozoology.
