THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER — DECEMBER 14, 1906
AN AMPHIBIOUS MONSTER. ♢ Seen In Lake Champlain by a
Number of Different Persons.
A monster animal-fish was seen in Lake Champlain opposite Charles L. Parrish’s on Wednesday, November 23, by Lewis Wilkinson, the Port Franklin ferry man. Wilkinson states that the monster or supposed shark was from 25 to 80 feet in length and made great speed in the water, throwing water in all directions. The monster has several times been seen opposite Port Henry, also at other places, and in appearance has great strength. Sailors have been frightened of late at the sight of this monster following their vessels. As the creature appears to be able to exist partly out of the water it may be a more dangerous prodigy than is generally supposed.
