Florida Sea Monster: (Flo)
|
Some say it is a relative to a manatee, or seal, others say it is a Mosasaur. Photo is of a Mosasaur a Charlie McGrady Studio model. I believe the primary creature shown in the clips is a Type 3 water monster. It is a relative to a manatee more trim, smaller face similar to monster quest design with a forked tail similar to the descriptions of merman during the 1800s sailors. Flo - I consider to be a Type 3 water monster - similar to a super manatee with a forked tail. Like the description and artist rendering from monster quest video below. The editor for TruthHere.com named him "Flo" for short on April 12 2010. All good water monster's need a name. It has been seen in Florida inlets, near Singer Island, and other ocean to fresh water areas off the east coast of America. I also believe that there are at least 2 other water monster species shown in these clips. Which has only help confuse the identification of it. |

The majority of these video clips where taken by Palm Beach Gardens resident Gene Sowerwine at or near Singer island. The video is suppose to be of many video shoots taken during an extended period of many years. I have not been able to find to find Mr Gene Sowerwine's official website on the subject? My other concern many people have made the edited videos from the original footage / video that come from many years of footage and appears to show multiple types of water creatures.

Canada's water monster Ogopogo
of Lake Okanagan. The lake is
located in the south central
interior of British Columbia.
Although Indian legends support
a monster living in Okanagan
Lake long before white men
arrived in this country, Ogopogo
is very much a present day
phenomenon. Each year, sightings
are reported of a creature some
20 to 50 feet long, with a horse
shaped head and an undulating
serpent like body! Okanagan Lake
is about 80 miles long extending
from Vernon at the north end to
Penticton in the south with the
fast growing city of Kelowna in
the center. Sightings have been
reported throughout the length
of the lake but the monster
appears to favour an area just
south of Kelowna in waters near
Peachland.</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;" >
Indian folklore places the lair
of the lake monster which they
called N'ha-a-itk, or lake
demon, at a cave under Squally
Point near Rattlesnake Island
which is offshore from Peachland.
The Indians would never paddle a
canoe near this area without an
offering because too often a
storm would spring up and N'ha-a-itk
would rise out of the waters to
claim another life! </span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;" >
When white settlers first came
to this area in the mid 1800s,
they were not superstitious but
gradually changed their views
with ongoing sightings of the
monster. An early instance tells
of two horses swimming behind a
boat that were mysteriously
pulled beneath the waves and the
owner barely saving himself by
cutting the rope attached to the
horses!</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;" >
The first recorded sighting by a
caucasion was by Mrs. John
Allison in 1872 and such
instances have continued to this
day with many credible, rational
and sober people becoming
absolute believers.</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-size: 10pt;" >
Ogo Pogo has been filmed a
number of times but other than
people agreeing there was
something in the water, no
absolute conclusions have been
made. It is usually reported as
dark blue, black or brown with a
lighter underside. It can move
with astounding speed but many
sightings in calm weather have
been made of the creature
apparently feeding on either
fish or aquatic weeds. People
very close, between 50 and 100
feet, report seeing fins or feet
on the animal. </p>
