Return of a Lake Monster?
June 23, 2023
A family called
McRae on vacation at Lake Shuswap in British Columbia filmed what appeared to be a creature that could be a
lake monster known as Shuswaggi.
They reported seeing a a
large shape like a whale, briefly
surface and then submerge, which caused "these massive ripples" to
radiate from the spot out on the lake. The subsequent footage largely shows "little
mysterious-looking grey blobs," the protrusions were "as if a circle
was spinning in the water, one hump after another, in a perfect line.When they
saw a motor boat in the area later that day, they were able to compare the wake
that it created and indicated that it paled in comparison to the ripples
created by the creature.

Shuswap Lake is located in
British Columbia, Canada. The
Lake consists of four arms, forming the shape of the letter H.It has a
depth of over 500 feet at its deepest point.Shuswap Lake is reputed to
have a monster called Shugumu or Shuswaggi.
The earliest encounter with the
creature was from a Secwepemc First Nations hunter in 1904 who claimed to have
killed a strange creature in Shuswap Lake.
Then in 1948, a man fishing on the
lake said a large creature swam under his boat, clipping the
bottom and almost tipped it over.
On July 27th the same year , a farmer by the name of Sinclair had let his cattle out to graze on
his property next to Shuswap Lake. He saw something in the water and as he moved
closer for a better view a large black creature begin to move farther out and
started submerging.
In 1970, a family having a birthday party next to Shuswap Lake
reported seeing a long, grey-green object moving under the lake water that
appeared to move quickly before rising out of the water, turning around and
heading away.
In 1984 Linda Griffiths and her family were out on the lake when she saw something
and grabbing her binoculars she saw a
serpent-like creature swim in front of the boat. After the sighting, Linda
described it as being about 25ft long
with greyish-brown skin and no scales.
In 2018 Larry Roberts and two others
reported a sighting .It had flat bumps on its back and was estimated to be 60
feet long. You can read his eyewitness report here :

On March 23rd 2019 Loren and his friend Brodie Blair
,fishermen, were filming another episode of
Two Guys With Flies for their Facebook page when they encountered the creature.
“Out of the blue from behind us,
what we heard was almost like the breach of a whale, like the water coming out
of its spout,” Loren told Global News. “As I was videoing my buddy here fishing
I turned the camera around and I started videotaping what we thought was… it
was really weird like waves… but you could see the shininess of the humps.”
On the video, Blair could be heard
calling what they’re seeing ‘The Shuswaggi’.
In May 2019 Dawn Dumont spotted
something in the lake while she was driving her son to an appointment in Salmon
Arm and then again at a public beach in Scotch Creek.
“I was kind of hoping to see it again
and to my surprise I think that I did. Whatever it was, it was big. It looked
like there were some kind of black humps. I had seen it twirling around a bit
and then it went under,” Dupont reported.
So does the lake house a serpent
like creature or is it a sturgeon as some claim? Could it be a giant eel or an
unknown creature? The video films are, as usual ,difficult to accurately assess
and could show anything from waves to a monster to birds in formation.
