I have in the past noticed disturbances in the water which seemed odd, but have always chalked it up to minor tremors or wind, which both are common here. Today though I actually saw an object moving in the water. It was about 10:45 am or so on Sunday October 7th, 2012. My son and I had been fishing with friends who had just left to go back to the house for breakfast. We were planning to return shortly ourselves. A motor boat had just taken a water skier across the lake and had disappeared around the point a few minutes minutes prior to the sighting. I noticed a disturbance in the middle of the lake and a large dark object surfaced, it began to move east to west at a fast rate. There was a huge wake behind it and white water at the front and moving away from the front leaving a large wake. I yelled at my son to look, he had already seen it from his position on the beach. I fumbled for my camera and tried to change the setting from photo to video and began shooting. Unfortunately, I did not catch much more than the wake and my own voice… Very disappointing. I was in shock afterwards as I could not rationalize what it could have been. It was very large and although 500m or so away I could make out it was an animal and alive. It was not a log or bird. Searching on the internet I found a name for the creature, Stin-Qua, so named by the local natives. I found this site and am grateful for two things, one my son saw it with me and two others have seen it too. I will be ready the next time… Something is out there.

I think what is really amazing is how consistent this encounter is to what people have reported seeing in Cameron Lake and Sproat Lake, which are also on Vancouver Island, as well as Ootsa Lake on the mainland of British Columbia, and of course Lake Okanagan.

This “huge water snake” phenomenon has been reported for decades in so many different bodies of water, several hundred of kilometers away from each other, in British Columbia and in many other Canadian provinces. I remain optimistic that good photo or video evidence of one or more of these creatures will emerge in the near future.

Cheers,

-Adam McGirr
