Join Scott Mardis and co-host Julie Rench as they interview F. William Billado, Jr., who had a remarkable “Champ” sighting in July 1985. At one point, he and his co-witnesses were within 5 feet of the animal.  Astoundingly, they saw a 4 foot long hump of an anomalous animal in Willboro Bay, Lake Champlain. They were close enough to it to rule out  a rogue wave or wood debris. He is insistent that this animal moved as if propelled by flippers and not body undulations.  What was it that the crew saw that day in 1985?  Tune in to find out more on this compelling episdoe of "The Haunted Sea"!

Sketches and art display in slide show by Michael Camp, William McDonald, and Roland Watson.
