Lake Champlain Monster, myth? #pisuke

Lake Champlain is a lake located on the border between the United States and Canada. Also, the lake is located in the valley of Lake Champlain. At first glance there is nothing special besides the panorama of the lake that has a distinctive beauty. But, deep in the depths, there is a legend about the mysterious creature nicknamed Champ.

Locals around Lake Champlain, New York say they also own Nessie. They call it Champ. Although Champlain lake monster is not as popular as Nessie, but Champ's mystery also attracts many hunters of monsters from all over the world.

The first appearance of the creature occurred in 1883. A Sheriff named Nathan H. Mooney claimed to have seen the creature. What Mooney sees is a giant "snake" about 7 meters long or 9 meters from a distance of about 50 yards. Where the word "snake" I mentioned earlier comes from the word "serpent" which can also mean dragon, not the translation of the word "snake".

Sheriff Mooney confessed for being so close to him with the monster, he was even able to see the white spots in his mouth, though whatever it was. Even if only sprue, then the creature was unlucky when seen by people.

The citizens who were curious about the observations made by Sheriff Mooney immediately saw the same thing: a mysterious creature with a length of between 7 and 9 meters. Of course, it is also accompanied by differences in interpretation of each person.

Champ became increasingly popular after Phyneas Taylor Barnum, an American businessman and enternainer, proposed a Champion hunt with a $ 50,000 prize.

The most notable appearance of Champ's emergence to date, perhaps was the appearance of Sandra Mansi in 1977, and Dick Affolter and his adopted son Pete Bodette in 2005.

Let's begin a brief discussion of the photo of Sandra Mansi in 1977

Place photos taken from the lake which is estimated to be about 4.3 meters deep. In the photo looks a creature similar to the embodiment Plesiosarus. However, there is an opinion that the embodiment in the photo of Sandra Mensi is "can" is just a log of trees, tree bodies, or twigs of trees that rot and filled with gas so that it can accommodate.

Well, different again with the evidence offered by Dick Affolter and Pete Bodette. The evidence obtained by two fishermen is a video recording. But not just any video recording. The FBI agent who analyzed this video also affirmed the authenticity of the video. So Champ's video recorded by Dick Affolter and Pete Bodette is my original.

ABC News also got an exclusive video showing a creature moving inside the Champlain lake. The video was taken by two fishermen with digital cameras last summer. Previously these two fishermen did not believe that Champ really existed.

"We are 100 percent sure of what we see, but we are not 100 percent sure what it is." said Peter Bodette, one of the fishermen. While the other fisherman named Dick Affolter said, "The creature made me cringe, I've never seen a creature like that before.We do not see the whole body, but sometimes we see some parts of his body surfacing" So far, already there are hundreds of reports of sightings of Champ. "

People reported seeing something unusual on the lake, something that should not be on the lake Champlain. The possibility that the creature is an ancient creature that should have gone extinct. "Write Lohr McKinstry, a Republican Press reporter who has been writing about Champ for over 20 years.

Indeed the Champ phenomenon has been started since 1880 when PT Barnum, a famous circus owner offered $ 50,000 for anyone who could capture Champ, live or die. Hunters and fishermen vying to capture the creature, but no one succeeded.

Regarding the recording, two FBI retirees who examined it said it was authentic. During this time a lot of Champ sightings were reported, but few were accompanied by convincing photo evidence.

The next question will be a more interesting discussion: Champ is what it really is?

There are some things that are often used as a reference in understanding what exactly is Champ. The first and the most commonly used reference is the plesiosphere.

Why is that? It can not be separated from its long-necked physical features. It seems similar to the species of plesiosaurs as expressed by wikipedia.

Some people believe that Champ is indeed a plesiosaur like just a Nessie legend. It was based on the similarity between Loch Ness and Champlain lakes that have a depth of about 120m. Quite good for breeding fish in a decent amount and keep the living creatures able to survive longer. In addition to nearly equal depths, the two lakes are also the result of a Glacier followed by the end of Ice Age or the Ice Age 10,000 years ago.

Perhaps the age of this creature is very old. Because, if Champ turns out there is more than one or one family consisting of male and female parent and its children, then there should be a carcass of the oldest animal.

Unless Champ is just one. And very very old. Or, Champ does have a family, and no one dies or has died and the most irritating possibility is that Champ is only a photographed tree branch, or an unknown fish species.

Let's wait for the carcass to float if you do not want to bother catch it. So we will know whether Champ is an ancient animal, or indeed "serpent" or the last possibility of a tree branch or large fish.
