British Columbia, the western-most province of Canada, is known nationally & globally for its natural beauty, picturesque mountain scapes, coastal scenery, near endless miles of shoreline, inlets and fjords. Each year, the province draws massive numbers of tourists from both Canada and the United States to enjoy its ecological splendor during the height of summer. But it is also the domain of over 20, 000 deep, glacially made lakes and the vast oceanic depths which continue to hold many surprises. And, over forty of those ancient bodies of freshwater are said to contain something else within them, swimming beneath their surfaces, only ever breaking placid waters occasionally to a lucky few fortunate enough to be in the right place and the right time. From Okanagan Lake to Harrison Lake to Cameron Lake on Vancouver Island, Kootenay Lake in the Rocky Mountains and the province’s coastal waters, sightings of large, unidentified aquatic creatures have been reported for countless centuries, and for some they continue to be reported by unsuspecting yet honest eyewitnesses. This thorough research guide and part-field book will provide a thorough look at this phenomenon by investigating sightings from each British Columbian Lake and the provincial coastlines from the oldest to most recent. Appearing for the first time are newly discovered or forgotten reports that have never been read in book form, along with obscure water creatures in their pages. Whether you are fascinated by watery mysteries, Cryptozoology, lesser-known regional trivia or plain curious about British Columbia’s natural wonders, The Mystery Creatures of British Columbia is an excellent primer for those wanting to dive deep into the western-most province's mysteries of the deep.
