ECHO OF THE OGOPOGO
Living at the coast, I was wondering to myself whether being in the vicinity of the ogopogo I would come across this monster. But the ogopogo seems to have died a natural death after creating quite a sensation for a time. I wonder if anyone has really seen an ogopogo.
In place of the ogopogo another monster has now appeared. It is the Sasquatch giant monster of the Harrison Lake area. Three canoes of Indians who arrived terror-stricken at Harrison Hot Springs, after a flight from Fort Douglas at the head of the lake, are prepared to swear to that.
The huge hairy monster is said to have disappeared for several years, and his sudden arrival struck terror into the hearts of the Indians.
When it comes to “seeing things,” Indians are not the exception when we remember the seeing of a monster some years ago in a Scottish loch.
Thanks to Jerome Clark.

It’s weird that this should be posted when the last post was about the death at lochness. I personally believe that chances of finding a lake cryptid are better when it comes to Champ or Ogopogo.
“The huge hairy monster is said to have disappeared for several years, and his sudden arrival struck terror into the hearts of the Indians”.
Does anybody ever check weather patterns when it comes to these sort of things? I wonder about an extreme weather coincedence when it comes to the mothman, forcing it into New Jersey becoming to the locals the “Jersey Devil” (or the “Snallygaster” to others). Though those might be extreme cases, is there anyone out there who looks for correlations in extreme weather when it comes to cryptid apperances and (perhaps in some cases) disapperances.
