Lakelubbers.com Reveals 17 Lake Monsters

MONETA, Va., March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Lake monsters have captured imaginations for centuries. Lakelubbers.com tells tales of 17 such creatures in the USA, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, Costa Rica and Argentina. Loch Ness's "Nessie" is best known. Muckie, Ogopogo, Memphre, Champ, Illies, Tarpie, Nahuelito and nine others are less familiar.

Most lake monsters look like serpents, dragons or giant fish. But Canada's Thetis Lake monster has been described as a scaly, gilled humanoid - similar to Hollywood's "Creature from the Black Lagoon." Most are relatively harmless, but North Dakota's Devil's Lake Monster destroyed an entire Sioux army and killed all of its fish. Serpent of the Manitou uses tentacles to seize wild game.

Few lake monsters are scientifically documented, but recent sonar evidence showed a serpentine USO - Unidentified Swimming Object - 80 meters long in Ireland's Killarney Lakes.
