The man, who wished to remain anonymous, reported his findings to CryptoZoology.com, a website that reports on strange occurences. I was on a boat with my friends,” the man told the website. “We where near the lakes main channel when we saw something splashing around in the water.”
While boating on the man-made Lake Norman, the man, along with several of his friends spotted the creature, describing it as “splashing around in the water." He noted it was around 10-feet-long and reminded him of the mythical Loch Ness monster. No photos were taken of the creature as it was only visible for approximately one minute until it went below the surface.
CryptoZoology says its articles are "based on witnesses accounts, original videos, pictures and subsequent interviews carried out by Cryptozoology News."
Lake Norman is no stranger to unexplained sightings, with several people having said they have seen a creature that lives in the water. There is a website, LakeNormanMonster.com, that allows people to post about what they have seen.
