From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ogopogo is a word used in Canadian English for unidentified aquatic creatures, especially lake monsters and in folklore. Stories of ogopogos have been reported across Western and Central Canada, with Lake Okanagan having the most famous example. The word comes from a English music hall song, Ogo-Pogo, The Funny Fox-Trot. The name was given to the Lake Okanagan sea serpent, but quickly spread to any unidentified aquatic creatures. The use of the word ranges from misidentifications for rocks and fish to hoaxes and tall tales of fire breathing monsters and 300 foot long, flying sea serpents.
