Freshwater Monster
A 20 feet ( over 6 metres) monster has been reported
along the Monongahela River in Marion County the Ohio and Allegheny (West Virginia and Pennsylvania).It
has had several names including the Rivesville Monster or the Hoult Monster,
but it is usually called Ogua. Some describe it as a huge snapping turtle ,some
more alligator like.Some say it has two heads and comes on land and can eat a
whole deer. In prehistoric times giant turtles did live in the area.
It was first mentioned in 1745 in Hoult when a 12 Year old boy was pulled
under water by the creature while fishing with his family. The boy was never
found. There have been more sightings since then .
Two West Virginia men claimed to have seen the monster
in 2019. The two fishermen at first thought a homeless person had fallen in the river
until they saw a snake-like tail.Nate
Moreno and Jake Byers believe they saw the Ogua River Monster while fishing for
catfish. The two men spotted the Ogua Monster in the moonlight, initially
thinking it might have been a homeless person who fell in the river. They watched
Ogua between 5 and 10 minutes. One of the guys claimed to have seen the monster
just a few days prior. It looked something like “someone swimming on their
hands and knees, crawling across the rocks” except it had a snake-like tail. Read

A prehistoric survivor
or an anomaly? Hopefully more sightings will show what is lurking among the cat
fish.
