July 08, 2024 Terrifying & True | Champ: Lake Champlain Monster Sightings, Evidence & Explanations
What are people seeing beneath Lake Champlain? Terrifying & True explores Champ, the lake-monster legend built from witness accounts, photographs and generations of local storytelling. The episode revisits Sandra Mansi’s famous image, disputed historical claims and possible explanations involving familiar animals and the changing appearance of open water. Regional folklore and cryptid curiosity meet a question that a distant shape cannot easily answer. Is Champ an unknown creature, a series of misidentifications, or a legend that changes how people look at the lake? We're telling that story tonight.
