Breaking: New “Champ Video”

There is breaking news from Vermont of new footage of an alleged lake monster (“Champ”?) from Lake Champlain.

This appears to be a developing story in the state, and I will update further details as they make their way to me.

The next stage of analysis must begin now, and, as with all Lake Monster accounts, more investigative work remains ahead.

I shot this video of SOMETHING in the lake at Oakledge Park on Sunday (05/31/09) early am (0530 or so). I don’t know what the eff it is but it’s definitely not normal…Was anyone else out and about around Oakledge on Sunday just after sunrise?
