Was the Lake Champlain Monster Caught on Film?





You guys remember Champ, right? He's the Loch Ness Monster of North America. For centuries (possibly as early as 1609), he's been scaring the pants off of visitors to Lake Champlain--and now he may have been caught on video.

On May 31, Burlington, VT resident Eric Olsen filmed a strange creature swimming across the lake. A still from his 2-minute cell phone video is shown above. The video itself can be seen here.

Is it a monster? Is it a deer? You be the judge!

I live in VT, but I haven't heard about this sighting yet. I hear about Champ all the time, though, so I sort of take this stuff for granted, but I do believe in him.

It looks like someone is swimming with an inflatable water chair thingy on their head.

Please. That is SO not Champ. And trust me, I know Champ - he's in my book club.
