 | | The first documented sightings of the Ogopogo by European settlers date back as far as 1860 and occur as the area was being colonized by the first, though the first clear sighting, witnessed by a large group of people, occurred in 1926 at an Okanagan Mission Beach. |
 | | Ogopogo was filmed again in 1989 by Ken Chaplin, who was with his father Clem Chaplin and who was talking about where he saw the Ogopogo when suddenly both of them saw a snake like animal swimming the lake, the animal is seen doing turns and even flicked its tail creating a splash. |
 | | The filmmakers were about to name the creature in the film after the Ogopogo until an Aboriginal protested that use of the name compromised Aboriginal religion, although other Aboriginals encouraged the use of the name "Ogopogo." Thus, the creature became "Mee-Shee" and the film was called Mee-Shee: The Water Giant. |
