One of the strangest cases the RCMP has been called upon to investigate was the Gillman of Thetis Lake on Vancouver Island.

The Kelowna Daily Courier newspaper has carried its share of Ogopogo reports over the years so I like to read the online and paper editions when I can. Not too long ago they carried a story that is intertwined with a little bit of Ogopogo history. Here’s the story of a tugboat that served those […]

There is this notion among cryptozoology enthusiasts around the world that lacustrean (lake) cryptids around the world are all the same in terms of their appearance and morphology.
