Posts: 4951 Apr 5 08 6:29 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	We used to tell ourselves that there were snapping turtles in Lake Hopatcong with shells the size of VW bugs. But I never saw any Loch Ness-type stuff any time I went there. Just lots of crazy people driving motor boats too close to each other. Had a water snake swim across my legs at swim team practice once. I never saw 30 kids get out of the water so fast in my life. But it technically wasn't Lake H. Gee, a book that covers similar stuff to Weird N.J. that's not produced by Weird N.J.? Who'd of thunk? Hey, we don't own the folklore. But if someone merely re-writes things from here and puts it into a book, I'm gonna send one of those big ass snapping turtles his/her way. ´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸ }<((((((º> `·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸ ><((((*>

"Loch Ness has got nothing on us! Since the very start of European habitation, there have been reports of a land-locked sea serpent cavorting about Lake Hopatcong" I'd be interested in finding out more about this. I will continue to research.

Posts: 720 May 21 12 12:33 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes I have read about this. Always wanted to get down to check it out too. Being 75% ocean, with the rest of the land mass also thoroughly dotted with large bodies of water, you can bet safely that there are many monsters lurking in the depths. I have marvelled many times at the fossilized skeletons of the great sea-roaming dinosaurs. Even the non-vertebrates have yielded absolutely enormous specimens. So, if our freshwater lakes have some monsters in them, it wouldn't be surprising. When I see the pics of the Asian carp, that alone is a monster! Have a nice day, eh?
