lake tahoe, lake erie, raspberry straight (near kodiak, alaska), lake champlain (between new york and vermont), and the chesapeake bay all claim to be home to giant sea-creatures that are frequently sighted and usually described as serpents with a head like a horse.
others have reported seeing up to twenty such animals in the lake, with white rings around the bottom of their necks although the rest of the bodies is gray.
new and amazing life forms are being discovered in the depths of the oceans and rain forests, so perhaps one day lake monsters will be in textbooks between the coelacanth and the giant squid instead of between big foot and the chupacabra.

 loch ness monster resources -
The Loch Ness Monster, sometimes called "Nessie" or "Ness" (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag) is a controversial and unidentified animal or group of animals said to live in Loch Ness, a large deep freshwater loch near the city of Inverness in northern Scotland.
Rumours of a monster or animal living in the loch are claimed by believers to have been known for several centuries, though others have questioned the accuracy or relevance of such tales, which were generally unheard-of before the 1960s, when a strong wave of interest in legitimizing Nessie's 1930s-based history began.
Theories as to the exact nature of the Loch Ness Monster sightings are varied: pareidolia or misidentification of seals, fish, logs, mirages, seiches, and light distortion, crossing of boat wakes, or unusual wave patterns.
