THE SEA MONSTER IN MICHIGAN.

Charlotte, Mich., Sept. 2. – Charlotte is somewhat stirred up over the report that a genuine sea monster exists in the water of Narrow lake, ten miles south of this city. The monster, it is claimed by the habitués of that vicinity, raises itself out of the water on moonlight nights to a height of ten feet and then disappears. Its body is said to be about the size of a stovepipe and its head to resemble that of a serpent. A party is being organized for an investigation.

    Still, if it can raise up ten feet out of the water, then it’s got to be significantly longer than that…if it’s a snake then we’ve got a biggggg critter on our hands, and if it ain’t then we’ve got a big crypto on our hands…

    Should have a category “cold case files” for these.

    You know, it might just be an over-fed snake? (doubtful) it might be a new species. I mean there are thousands, millions even, of animals out there we haven’t discovered. just because its big and different doesn’t mean its weird or mutated. i mean, we’re all different. Does that make us weird and mutated?
