Lake Monster

[del]

We supposed have a lake monster in the lake here.   The name of the lake is Crescent Lake and the monster is named "cressie".  There have been numerous sitings over the years. Will finally one of the TV networks has decided to do a documentary on our monster.  There was a film crew hre last week doing research on the lake and interviewing people. They had our boat rented for 3 days to use a sonar and underwater cameras to see the bottom of the lake.  They also had divers do some diving.  It will be on National TV on either the discovery channel or the history channel later in the fall or winter. Should be interesting. They didn't tell anybody if they found cressie or not!!!  Personally I think cressie is just a big eel. Probably a conger eel. 
One is of the film crew on our boat. The others are pictures of the lake.

I actually watch all those shows on Discovery Channel. I'll be looking for your boat.

[Sluff]

Interesting.

I'll be watching for it on the Discovery Channel too. Looks like a beautiful place. Lucky you!
Lake Tahoe on the California/ Nevada border is supposed to have a creature called "Tahoe Nessie."
There is no evidence though, and I think it's just a ploy to sell T-shirts, books, mugs, etc. We have
had a family vacation home there since 1936 and Nobody has ever seen it.

Nessie
Tessie
Cressie



I wonder if they are all related?

[del]

I think they all feed off the Loch Ness monster (Nessie) for tourism!!!

[Romona]

Wow. I'll watch for it, the show. I am too tired to look for monsters.

[Earlinda]

That is sooooooo cool!  How exciting that one of our peoples boat is a star on national tv now.  I am a TLC and Discovery channel junkie and cannot wait to see the show.  I will find it even more special and interesting just because it is your boat they used!!!

I hope they found something!

Must be something about Maritimers. Where I'm from in N.B. there is supposedly a sea monster in a place called Lake Utopia, and they came up with the most creative name ever for it- "The Lake Utopia Sea Monster"

Awesome Del,  I will keep an eye for it on TV

[kitkatz]

Yep, monsters here, monsters there, monsters everywhere!

The documentary that was filmed here in the spring about the monster in our lake is airing tomorrow night Sept 17th at 8 eastern time ( I think that's the time) on monsterquest on the American History channel.  They used our boat to look for the monster!!!!  We won't get to see it here because we do not get the american history channel we just get the Canadian history channel.     

If you watch it let me know if you liked it!!!  It will also be on history.com on Thurs.  Apparently you can just click on it and view it!!

Thanks Del. I am going to try to watch it.   I think it is such a cool experience for them to use your boat. 

[monrein]

I'll try to catch it too Del.

Monster Quest is a documentary television series that began to air on October 31, 2007 on The History Channel. The program deals with the search for various cryptozoological creatures reportedly seen around the world.

The purpose of the show is best described by the narrative in the opening credits, "Witnesses around the world report seeing monsters. Are they real or imaginary? Science searches for answers, on Monster Quest."

This week's episode: Lake Monsters of the North    September 17, 2008    Investigation into the search for "Cressie", what Native Americans call the "Pond Devil" and say is giant eel that lurks in the depths of Newfoundland's Crescent Lake.

The official website: http://www.history.com/minisites/monsterquest/ You can even watch episodes online! (If you have Adobe - mine won't work on my mac!  )

[del]

Anybody who watches it could you please give me some feedback on it as I won't see it!!  Our cable company or satlitte companies don't carry the american history channel.

http://www.history.com/minisites/monsterquest/ You can even watch episodes online - see if your computer will work on that site del.

No problem getting on the site but I'm on dialup okarol.  We are in the process of being able to get highspeed.  Hopefully before Christmas!!!  On dial up it is too slow to even watch a video. 

[okarol]

Well that sucks! Doesn't your local library have high speed? Any neighbors? I will watch it tonight and let ya know how it is!

[del]

High speed is not available anywhere in our area yet. They are in the process of sticking the poles and running the wires on them.  Hopefully we will be all hooked to high speed by Christmas.  Dial up does suck!!!  it's so slow. I can't even get youtube videos!!!  The school has a satellite but that is slower than my dial up at home!!!!
