The Lure of Lake Monsters, Part 1 - The Observer

Summertime means fun in the sun, and even more fun in the water. But we'd be lying if we said that while swimming in a lake we don't occasionally see or feel something that sends us heading for shore. It's a strange yet addictive kind of adrenaline that was first propagated when newspapers could embellish sightings of sturgeon and turn them into aquatic dinosaurs in the press. Put us in a boat and the waves and wakes remind us of The Lure of Lake Monsters, Part 2. Sensationalism has made sure we never forget any of the stories we've heard or read, and tourism is glad for it. Books like The Field Guide to Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents, and Other Mystery Denizens of the Deep, co-authored by Loren Coleman and Patrick Huyghe, serve as field guides for those of us who cannot help but be consumed by the curiosity that is the lake monster phenomenon.
