During bio acoustic research at the mouth of Otter creek that empties into Lake Champlain, our group Champ Search recorded some interesting data.
Darren Perron from WCAX News Interviewed us on our findings.
Dennis Hall spends much of his time monitoring Lake Champlain.
“Normally there’s no noise. It was different. Different. And so clear,” said Hall.
The Panton man is looking for a legend. He made headlines in 1985 when he claimed to spot the lake creature, known as Champ.
“Something made the noises and it’s totally amazing,” said Hall.
Since then, he’s been chasing Champ trying to record the mythical monster’s every move.
“Not hearing anything like I heard before,” said Hall
And now, Hall has teamed up with Katy Elizabeth, who runs the organization, “Champ Search.”
During recent surveillance, they say they made another surprising discovery.
“I was in total shock,” said Elizabeth.
A beluga whale in Lake Champlain.
“I was listening with the hydrophone and all of the sudden I started hearing ‘eekeeekeek,’ like monkey noises and it was strange and then clicking like ‘click, click, click,'” said Elizabeth.
The team used underwater audio testing equipment and claim they documented a rare vocalization used by only a handful of species to find food. None of which should live in a fresh water lake.
“Everything is pointing toward belugas or some other animal, not native to this lake that is in here feeding,” said Hall.

About Katy Elizabeth
Katy Elizabeth was born in Warwick, Rhode Island. Katy has been studying the existence of Champ since a child. As one of the youngest and most recent Cryptozoologists, she made her life long dream into reality when she had her own sighting and experiences of this elusive creature on Lake Champlain. It prompted her to start her own non-profit group called “Champ Search”. The group's goal is to study, investigate and prove the existence of unique animals that inhabit New York and Vermont’s beautiful Lake Champlain. She is the author of the books Water Horse Of Lake Champlain and Water Horse Of Lake Champlain II available on amazon.com.
