“Cressie”

September 19, 2008

–In Lake Crescent, New Foundland, reports exist of a mammoth species of eel called “The Lake Beast,” or more affectionately, “Cressie.”  The notion of eels up to 30 feet long is reflected in Native American legends dating back centuries, and referring to a “Pond Demon,” and a “Swimming Demon.”  Some believe that it could be a displaced ocean dweller, as eels are quite ancient, evolving before the continents divided.–Remember Pangea?

Once again, the intepid boys from MonsterQuest investigated, going through the murky waters of the Canadian lake in question.  Results were again inconclusive with “Cressie” not found, although eyewitness accounts were intriguing…and a lobster trap set for the beast underwater was dragged a considerable distance by something…

Water creatures are big stuff right now.  Destination Truth is airing a segment on one.  And even while their existence remains unproven, in many countries it is illegal to kill them…Hmmm, isn’t that interesting?!
