Creature spotted at The Nature Institute: Park officials advising caution to hikers
GODFREY – Trails opened at dawn Saturday, April 1 at The Nature Institute (TNI) in Godfrey, but TNI Executive Director Angie Moan said hikers should exercise caution when hiking TNI’s trails.
Moan said several individuals working on trails have spotted what seems to be an animal with which no one at the park has experienced. Moan said reports to her office have included spotting a bipedal creature at least seven feet tall and 350 pounds. While this may sound a lot like the mythical Bigfoot, Moan said she does not want to jump to conclusions. She said hikers and TNI workers have spotted several different animals and even a few people who are at the park after hours.
And the other one involving the Lake Champlain Monster, Champ:
Computer Rendering of Proposed Lake Project
Port Henry, NY, March 31, 2017- Local Officials unveil a major project aimed at confirming the existence of “Champ,” the Lake Champlain Monster, once and for all.
“This will be a shot in the arm for tourism,” stated Super Town Advisor, Bean Favascossa. “This is a huge undertaking that has been in the works for many years. Lake Champlain already has great waterfront activities like boating and fishing, but once Champ is declared real then people are gonna wanna piece of that action.”
Early drafts of the plan sought to drain the water from Lake Champlain long enough to see what’s on the bottom. It was originally slated to be a bi-state endeavor with Vermont, which also borders Lake Champlain, until Vermont pulled out, raising objections over environmental concerns.
