| Just to kick things off:
Sea serpents, Loch Ness monsters, and things of that ilk have for
years been treated as pure superstition, hallucinations, or fairy tales.
The best model of a sea serpent seems to be an aquatic, long-necked dino-
saurlike creature. The same is true for reported sightings of a Loch Ness
creature. However, the dinosaurs are all extinct, some say due to aa clim-
atic change. However, the coelacanth, once thought to be extinct, has been
fiound still thriving in some quarters; the turtles (chelonians) predated
some dinosaurs, and the crocodilians (alligators, crocodiles, and gavials)
were contemporary with them.
Therefore, it's possible that these bits of "exotic zoology" may
still exist.

Freak weather conditions can cause lots of apparently un-natural
happenings. Stones have been lifted from one area and deposited
hundreds of miles away. Parts of the south of England were covered
with sand from the Sahara last year. I have even heard of toads
being unceremoniously dumped miles from home. Imagine this happening
a couple of hundred years ago and the reaction it would have got.
Ignorance helps feed fear.

| 40.3 | and another 3 years later... | SWSUP3::MILLERR | | Mon Sep 16 1991 12:38 | 20 |
| My family vacationed in British Columbia several years ago, on our
way to the coast we stopped at Lake Penticton in South Eastern B.C.,
to do a little fishing. It was cool and breezy (early July), and I
wasn't having much luck fishing when I saw a "wave" travelling around
the point of land I was fishing from. The "wave" was about 30' long,
and moved very slowly...I concluded after watching several minutes
it had to be the wake of something LARGE just below the surface,
I started casting at it (maybe snag it or something), and followed it
for 20-30 minutes, then watched it pass out of sight. The next day
we rented a small boat and went further out onto the lake to try to
better our fishing luck, but still not even a bite. We finally gave
up for the day and took the boat back to the owner of the facility,
and as I was paying him I asked him what types of LARGE fish/animal
life grew in the lake. He asked me what I meant (somewhat surprised)
and I told him about what I'd seen the day before, he started laughing,
accused me of trying to "start that stuff again", etc. Finally after
protesting my inocence, he told me that MANY people had "seen" this
creature...Old indian legend, etc. and more laughing. I never did
find out what I saw though...

| 40.4 | its called Ogopogo.... | KAOFS::RODERMOND | | Mon Sep 16 1991 13:11 | 10 |
| RE:-1
Sounds like you are talking about Lake Okonagan. The city of Penticton is on
the southern end of this lake.
This lake contains a creature called "Ogopogo". Looks somthing like the in
Loch Ness. Scientists deny the existence of this creature despite numerous
sightings, fuzzy photos and shaky vide-tape.

| If I'd known about that before we went out in a boat (especially
as choppy as it was ), I don't think we would have gone...
(especially without a camera, ;'})

| I Think this is the perfect topic for my following question. I
log into Dejavu now and again, and each time the topic that first
appears on my screen is always relevant to that day. For example,
Tuesday night's my husband and I have recently formed/attend a dream
workshop (with one other couple) and when I logged in yesterday
up popped The Hag in The Night and similar stories regarding dreams.
And of course today, when my intention was to ask the follwing (really)
question, what should pop up for me to read but, Un-natural Phenomena!
Has anyone else experienced these synchronicities related to Dejavu?
