Here is just a partial list of lake monsters seen in many parts of the world: The Loch Ness Monster . Affectionately known as "Nessie," this is the most famous of all lake monsters. There are many websites devoted to Nessie, and one of the best places I've found to learn all about it is The Legend of Nessie. The Altamaha-Ha. This creature lives in the Altamaha River near Darien, Georgia. It has been sighted numerous times, at least since the 1960s, by fisherman and other witnesses. Champ. Lake Champlain in northeast New York State is the home of Champ. Most sightings describe a 15- to 25-foot creature with a "long sinuous neck" and a dark-colored body with one or more humps. Lake Van Monster. In June of 1997, video was taken of some kind of creature in Lake Van in eastern Turkey. A brief story and QuickTime movies of the video footage can be seen at this CNN news story. Memphr�. Lake Memphr�magog, which straddles the U.S.-Canadian border about 70 miles east of Montreal, is the home of Memphr�. The earliest sightings of this creature, which resemble those of Nessie, date back to 1847. Nahuelito. Descriptions of this creature in Nahuel Huapi Lake in Argentina vary from that of a giant water snake with humps and fish-like fins to a swan with a snake's head. Witnesses estimate its length at anywhere between 15 to 150 feet. Selma. Lake Seljordsvatnet in Norway is the site of eyewitness accounts of this whale-like creature since 1750. Ogopogo. Native Americans called it N'haaitk, and it makes its home in Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. Article: http://paranormal.about.com/od/sealakemonsters/a/The-Hunt-For-Lake-Monsters.htm

None of which have ever been proven too exist at all. Attention and money is a good enough reason to get people to lie.

Some witnesses come forth despite severe scrutiny. It seems new types of species are discovered almost routinely globally.

Moore's Beach Monster or Baird's Beaked Whale According to the Santa Cruz News, the specimen was thirty-four feet long, its head bigger than a barrel, and its eyes bigger than an abalone. Also, it had a great oval shaped body with a neck seven feet long and thirty-six inches in diameter. Its body was covered with a coat of "semi-hair and feathers," and its mouth was like that of a duck's bill. "In the Wake of Sea Serpents," Bernard Heuvelmans' authoritative book, discusses the monster in the following terms: "It was a strange creature, with a huge head longer than a man, tiny eyes and sort of duck's head beak. It was joined to the main body by a slender neck that seemed to be about thirty feet long." We now come to perhaps the most intriguing description of them all, given by one of the most scientifically competent of them all. Mind the reader, not most competent, but one of the most competent. His name was E.L. Wallace, a man who served twice as president of the Natural History Society of British Columbia. He had the following to say about the animal: "My examination of the monster was quite thorough. I felt in its mouth and found it had no teeth. Its head is large and its neck fully twenty feet long. The body is weak and the tail is only three feet in length from the end of the backbone. These facts do away with the whale theory, as the backbone of a whale is far larger than any bone in this animal. Again, its tail is too weak for an animal of the deep and does away with that last version. "With a bill like it possesses, it must have lived on herbage . . . I would call it a type of plesiosaurus." Article: http://www.trueauthority.com/cryptozoology/moore.htm

No Loch Ness monster sightings in 2013 For the first time in almost 90 years there have been no new sightings of the legendary lake monster. Large numbers of tourists flock to the Scottish Highlands to visit the world famous lake every year with many hoping to catch a glimpse of its mysterious denizen, the Loch Ness Monster, which is said to have been lurking in the murky depths for centuries. Aside from a few false alarms however, nobody at all has come forward with a new confirmed sighting within the last 18 months, something that hasn't happened since 1925. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/262061/no-loch-ness-monster-sightings-in-2013

Don't forget the lake monster that Scooby-Doo found.

This corpse washed ashore on Mann's Hill beach in 1970. The corpse was about 20 ft long and weighed approximately 2 tons. The carcass closely resembled an extinct dinosaur called a plesiosaur. Link: http://theshadowlands.net/serpent2.htm

Memphr�. Lake Memphr�magog, which straddles the U.S.-Canadian border about 70 miles east of Montreal, is the home of Memphr�. The earliest sightings of this creature, which resemble those of Nessie, date back to 1847. I've been mocked repeatedly about this but I DO have witnesses.. I spent all my summers, growing up, at our country home on the Lake.. one year I was rowing in a rubber dingy while my ex and eldest were just ahead of me in a rowboat.. we turned out of our bay and into an area that, 20 feet from shore, is a sheer drop of about 250'+ deep.. while rowing along this stretch, my dingy was lifted OUT of the water (yes.. completely) and my ex yelled "WHAT THE HECK...???" it felt like something bumped my butt then almost serpent like, dove back down into the water rubbing against the underside of the dingy till it was gone.. maybe it was coming up for air there, and thought better after bumping me?? HE saw it.. I FELT it.. he said it looked like a huge snake (bigger than an anaconda???) all I know is.. I turned and headed back towards home, rowing as FAST as I could.. I have YET to step foot back in that water SINCE so laugh ALL you WANT people.. THIS one IS real!!!

That's pretty wild Zero_Effected.... Possible image of the Memphre: A Legendary Giant snake-like creature is said to roam Lake Memphremagog in Quebec,Canada/Vermont U.S.. This includes eyewitness encounters and actual footage (of something) caught on video. Video: http://youtu.be/csDlQnuz8_8 .

I've never seen that video before.. cool!! and for the most part.. all the videos seem to be shot in and around the area we had our country home.. I've heard stories from others who lived in the area all year round(and for generations) about the lake having caves.. the maps show that in some areas, the lake is deeper then 600 ft.. (around where we were and a few other spots) so.. regardless of the many skeptics.. I know what I felt that day.. and what my ex SAW! funny how for YEARS I would swim the length to Lords Island & back, water ski, sail and boat (as well as fish) the lake.. but after that encounter?? I can't bring myself to go IN the water again.. or ANY large bodies of water for that matter(I'm out near Lake Champlain now).. and I'm NOT one that scares easily!! however I WILL go boating and sailing (in large crafts ONLY) but reFUSE to go IN the water... ever again!!

I wonder what they would taste like. Slowly roasted or just grilled.
