Since the 1930s, people around Victoria, British Columbia, have reported a long, horse-headed sea serpent called 'Caddy'. A carcass from a whale's stomach in 1937 was claimed as a baby. Zoologists now favour known animals, and many scientists read the famous 1937 carcass as a decomposing basking shark.
British Columbia's Okanagan Lake has a resident monster with a music-hall name. Scholars trace it from Syilx water-spirit traditions through settler sightings to a tourism mascot. No specimen, no clear photo, plenty of folklore.
'Sasquatch' comes from a Halq'eméylem word for a hairy wild being, popularized by a schoolteacher in Harrison Hot Springs in the 1920s. The village now calls itself Sasquatch country. Scientists find no evidence of an unknown ape; the creature lives on as folklore and a tourism icon.
