The Lake Norman Monster
Lake Norman was created by Duke Power sometime between 1959 and 1964 as part of the Cowans Ford Dam construction. It was named after the Duke Power’s ex-president, Norman Cocke. Lake Norman is North Carolina’s largest manmade form of fresh water, which receives water flowing from the Catawba River.
The shoreline of the lake is approximately 520 miles and its surface area is greater than 50 square miles. Certain parts of this manmade lake are more than 110 feet deep. With so much depth, it is no longer a surprise that such an immense amount of lake water holds some mysterious secrets, just like the feared Lake Norman Monster.
Campbell, a resident of Glendale Springs in North Carolina said that he had grown up near Lake Norman. During his high school years and he would spend most of his afternoons enjoying a swim in the lake.
It was in the summer of 1982 when Campbell and his friends were swimming in the lake. As they enjoyed playing in the water, they noticed something that looked like a sunken upturned canoe a few distance from them. They swam towards it but it drifted away as if it was carried along by the current.
After a very short while, they saw a small fish jump on the area where the canoe-like thing was and moreover saw consistencies of mud in the same area. They thought that what they saw were merely floating leaves or debris until they heard a great splash amidst a group of paddling ducks. The ducks came out on the lake’s surface as if the thing that caused the splash had pulled them under the water. Campbell and his friends never saw the canoe-like thing again but they would always find the foul-smelling “mud” on the lake.
Another North Carolina resident claims to have seen the Lake Norman Monster. She said she had only visited her friend’s lake house but she saw something so terrible that made her swear never to come back to that place again. She said that she saw the creature come out of the water. Its head, as she described it, which looked like that of a prehistoric dinosaur, was a little larger than a human head. Its brown-colored neck was about ten feet long its eyes are horrifyingly bright and large.
For several years now, many terrified visitors reported that they had witnessed the appearance of the monster near, or in, the manmade Lake Norman. Although individual descriptions vary slightly, the Lake Norman Monster is mostly described as a long, serpentine creature with odd fins that creates foul-smelling mud consistencies as it lurks under the lake water.
There is a website that describes the Lake Norman Monster and numerous other creatures of Cryptozoology in detail, this website is called: Unknown Creatures and it may be found at this url: http://www.unknown-creatures.com
