A Lake Monster Not Quite so Famous as Nessie: But Intriguing! - Mysterious Universe

The state of Nebraska might be best known for its cottonwood trees and as the birthplace of actors like Henry Fonda and Marlon Brando. The name itself is from an Oto Indian word meaning "flat water," so it's especially ironic that it's also home to a Lake monster. The Walgren Lake monster was first reported in 1921, capturing headlines and imaginations. To date though, not a single photo exists of the beastie. Moving on...Across the pond we have The Mysterious Sea Monsters of the Orkney Islands. In 1808 an enormous and very dead creature washed up on the beach of the Island of Stronsay, attracting enormous attention while being quite impossible to identify. It was evidently the existence of three pairs of legs that flummoxed the scientists tasked with categorizing the carcass while fighting off marauding seagulls. Of course, not every strange find in the water is a leviathan: Strange Creatures in the Water That Aren’t Lake Monsters or Sea Serpents details a variety of hairy hominids either swimming or basking (or swiping a fisherman's catch). Apparently even Bigfoot knows he needs to take a bath from time to time. (CM)
