For generations, people on Lake Champlain have reported seeing a creature they call Champ. The most famous sighting left behind a photograph that investigators still can't agree on.
In 1977, Sandra Mansi photographed a dark shape with what looked like a head and neck above the water. By the time investigators examined the picture, the original negative was gone. They couldn't pin down where Mansi had stood, either. The shape could have been a small object close to shore or something much larger farther out.
In Champ: The Hunt for the Lake Champlain Monster, Marcus Rourke traces the search from an 1819 newspaper account of a serpent to footage taken from a fishing boat and a drone. He follows a sonar search in Whallon Bay and examines underwater recordings that researchers compared to the sounds of dolphins. Along the way, he looks at how a floating log, a boat wake, or a fish native to the lake might explain some of the best-known sightings, and why witnesses looking for the same creature may have seen very different things.
