In this episode, I explore the mysterious tales of the Sandy Hook Sea Monster and Hoppie, the elusive creature said to lurk in the depths of Lake Hopatcong of New Jersey. From historic sightings to modern encounters, I uncover eyewitness accounts, local legends, and compelling evidence that suggest something strange may still swim in the waters of the Garden State.

⚓ Could these creatures be relics from prehistoric times?

👁 Are they misunderstood marine animals… or something truly otherworldly?
