I wish I could pack up the spinning reel and go with, but that isn't going to happen. I did do a web search for Devil's Lake and got plenty of hits. it's a state park and it does have reports of a lake monster. Hey, it's closer than Scotland.

Yup! Real dangerous these ones, all 3 feet of em!

I've swam every corner of Lake Thunderbird day and night, for most of my life. I keep my boat at Calypso Cove Marina, where I've swam every inch of the bottom looking for lost treasures. I've safely attended fireworks shows on floaty rafts for hours. With countless beers consumed on that lake, I've seen alot of things, but no octopus... In fact, I've never seen anything the size of a horse (known or unknown) in Lake Thunderbird. Also, I'm curious where all these "native american legends" came from, as the lake wasn't formed until 1965 when the Norman dam was completed, damming the Little River. The Little River is still basically a creek that barely exceeds the knees, and can be walked across at almost any time of the year. Before the Little River was dammed, it dried up completely in the summer (as most Oklahoma rivers do) and is hardly a place to hide a freshwater "monster". Until recent years, as the city of Norman has attempted to clean up Thunderbird's water, it has been referred to as "Dirtybird" due to the lakes rediculously heavy sediment. So I suppose there's still a chance of a mutated worm or other newly spawned biproduct of chemical runoff, genetic testing, or perhaps refugees from a nearby UFO crash, but I highly doubt native americans told tales of octopi in the Little River. For more rational, honest, and factual information about Lake Thunderbird, and it's lack of lake monsters:

Until rather recently, most people thought that sharks were exclusively marine animals. But the bull shark can swim hundreds of miles up river. Who is to say that there isn't a species of octopus that can do the same.

For what it is worth, I think that this is bogus also. But just because we don't know of an octopus that can exist in salt water and fresh water, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

i just watched this show on animal planet called 'lost tapes' the episode was called 'oklahoma octopus' it was about these 5 kids who just graduated from high school, they went to a lake in oklahoma to spend their last weekend together before college. anyways one of the boys videotaped the whole thing. the fotage was incedibly scary, but looked and sounded real. 3 of the kids "drowned" and their bodies were never found. the other 2 kids escaped with suction cup looking spots covering their bodies. it is said that many others have "drowned" in the lake before. however some people still call the octopus a legend. after watching the tape, i now believe the 'legend' is much more then a myth -julia

I just watched a show last night on Animal Planet called "Lost Tapes"..The story I watched last night with video by the teenager himself showed him and his 4 friends at one of the lakes in Oklahoma (I can't remember which one)... He was filming his friends in the water and off to the right he saw something in the water..When they showed the video again and slower; it was a large tenicle..

The friends decided to go to the dock in the middle of the lake, they were there and one of the friends a guy, kept playing jokes about being pulled under on himself and then his friends.. An arguement followed, he got in the canoe leaving his friends on the dock and started paddling away.. Shortly after, the video pans right and his boat is upside down with no sign of the guy. The other guy (not the one filming) jumps in and swims over to the boat searching for his friend and on film, something drags him underwater..He never resurfaces either.

The 3 remaining people, the guy filming and 2 girls are left there stranded on the dock in the middle of the lake with no way of getting back to shore..Hours go by and it now dark and then suddenly something bumps the dock then grabs one of the girls into the water.You see again, a large tenicle type arm. She never resurfaces..

The two remaining people sit out there until around 1:38am and the guy puts the vidoe camera down and you hear him say "we have to do it." You hear them get into the water to start swimming back to shore, you hear screams.. They did make it and where found that morning and brought to the hospital because of exhaustion and were found to have suction like wounds on their legs. Their friends have never been found.

I'll tell you, it kept me up all night...The show was saying it would be possible for an "octopi" to grow accustomed to fresh water over time and to continue to thrive as long as there was plenty of food available.

Go to Animal Planet and check out the "Lost Tapes" section..
