Canada's legendary lake monster, Ogopogo, might have a cousin, as a woman walking along the shore of a nearby body of water spotted a curious creature strikingly similar to descriptions of the country's famed cryptid. According to a local media report, the intriguing sighting occurred last Tuesday morning at Kalamalka Lake in the community of Coldstream, British Columbia. During a visit to the site, witness Alison Tinck had an eerie sense of something unusual unfolding around her. "I don't know what happened," she mused, "it just sort of came into my realization that there was something out there."

Looking out on the lake, Tinck was taken aback at the sight of three distinct humps that had emerged from the water. "I opened up my camera and I started filming it," she recalled, "and it went for about 42 seconds and then it disappeared." Particularly puzzling about Tinck's sighting is the location where it occurred, as Kalamalka Lake is situated fairly close to Okanagan Lake, where the 'monster' Ogopogo is said to reside.

Since the two bodies of water do not connect, Tinck expressed skepticism that the mysterious creature she saw could have been the legendary cryptid believed to live 'next door.' That said, one imagines some will suggest there may be a means of underground travel between the two lakes and that the two aquatic animals are one and the same. Skeptics, of course, will argue that Tinck merely noticed a peculiar wave that appeared to be something out of the ordinary. What do you think she filmed? Was it Ogopogo out on an adventure, a new cryptid one might call the Kalamalka Monster, or merely a misidentification? Weigh in with your thoughts at the C2C Facebook page.
