Old Blurry Nessie

Just think, if you were a business owner, you fake a sighting of some creature, make sure your story is rehearsed. Fake a photo and look at the people you will bring in. You make money, the area makes money and if it was a good enough tale it can last for years.

The United States should do that because they have a terrible economy, especailly in Michigan because their unemployment rate is more than the nation's average.
there is some lakes around Michigan, I am not sure if you have heard them before, The Great lakes. Superior would be the ideal place to find a monster in there.

More money would flow into the lake states.

Plus there would be a new documentary on the discovery channel.

There are already lots of Great Lake monsters that have been sited for the last 200 years. Plus we have the famous Great Lakes Triangle where thousands of ships and airplanes have been lost. Some of them seemingly just vanished.

Lake Erie is rumored to contain a similar creature similar to Nessie, dubbed ‘Bessie.’ The first documented sighting was in October of 1817. Reports from way back when describe her as about 30-45 feet long with dark, possibly black skin, and bright eyes. The most recent sighting that I could find mention of was in 1993 by two local fire inspectors. If you happen up to Lake Erie and are feeling very brave (insane), Tom Solberg of the Huron Lagoons Marina is supposedly still offering a $100,000 reward for the SAFE capture of Bessie. Best of luck with that and send me photos.

Lake Ontario shares a similar history. Honestly…in the digging that I did, most of the stories on Ontario seemed remarkably similar to the sightings on Lake Erie…some happened within several weeks of each other. I can’t help but wonder just how long it would take news in the 1800s to travel. However I do have to note that one encounter stated that a man scared off the monster with his fishing pole….perhaps just a very large snake in this Great Lake?

Lake Superior’s rumored monsters are my favorite. As with the majority of these monsters, the Native Americans of the area had a history of stories about the occupants of the lake. They believed that Lake Superior housed a gigantic fish, a sturgeon, to be exact, that had a habit of swallowing natives on the lake. In the late 1700s, a merman was actually sighted. Yes, think bottom half fish, upper half man. The Natives explained that this was some sort of god of water.

Lakes Huron and Michigan do not have such extravagant sightings…at least, not that I could find, but have their share of 30-foot snakes stories. Just as a side note, there are quite a few lakes in the world that claim lake monsters. We’re talking in the well about one hundred.

WOW! never knew about this. I guess you do some very thorough research.
