Harriet the Lake Monster

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 14th, 2009

What is Harriet the Lake Monster?

Suddenly, last week, the following mysterious Lake Creature appeared on Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, Minnesota!

On July 16th this site promises a fun announcement!

And finally, one last image, taken by a local resident who is a professional and friend of Cryptomundo, credit DR Shoop Photography, is shared below:

D. R. Shoop’s feels he knows who might be behind this:

The Loch Ness Monster has been spotted
<> on Minneapolis’ Lake Harriet. While some speculation exists, at least by a
joking guy interviewed by KARE-11, that the creature is part of a millfoil-abatement plan. My guess from looking at their website is
that it’s art. (It’s got a Twitter account, too.)

The work has a striking resemblance to that of artist Cameron Gainer, whose sculptures — entitled _[ - have
showed up in Brooklyn, Key West, and other locales. Gainer, formerly based in New York, now calls
Minneapolis home; he’s engaged to Walker Art Center director Olga Viso. Next week we’ll see if I’m right: the project’s site says it’ll officially reveal details on Thursday.

deer ?

My first instinct when seeing the picture of “Harriet” is that it must be a mangy fox. Note the hairless body and the shape of the snout However, upon looking at the pictures more closely, I would have to say that it is a very cool piece of art! Very nice!

You people are blind! That’s NOT a cryptid — it’s clearly some kind of common animal … baby moose maybe, or as sshep said, a deer.

You loonies always want to see something that isn’t there.

I mean, I know it’s exciting to see wildlife up close, but don’t let your imagination get the best of you.

Or else it’s photoshopped.

;-p

judging from how blurry the photos are I would have to guess that its some sort of hunting dog dragging a baby moose snagged on a scuba diver back to its master who is photoshopping the pics at the same time.

Too many scoftics posting here! Go away! We don’t want your stinking mundane explanations!

This is certainly a photo of Nessie! We KNOW the Ness monsters migrate from time to time. (And sometimes, just in time to avoid wall to wall and end to end sonar scans. Nessie and family members are very smart!.)

That thing sure couldn’t fit in a plastic cooler! Sorry, Tom

Clearly dritftwood.

Although, on second glance, it might be a “super-otter”.

Definitely a cryptid.

I think it is the Chupacabra taking a dip on vacation, or it might be my brother playing in the ditch with his dino toys again. He is 29, this has to come to an end at some point.

In the photo before the large one, it looks like its scheming something.
Squiver responds: July 14th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
The photo seemed blurry at first but if you zoom in substantially, you can clearly tell by the subtle fur patterns that this is a Chupacabra, of the Texan variety of course.
Zilla responds: July 14th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I can’t tell: I think its Champ riding an ATV but it’s to blurry to tell… Seriously though, that is good art.

from its view of far away i thought it was real….but cool work of art. LOL
