Some say that Lake Champlain has a sea monster. Historians claim 
that the first sightings of “Champy”, date back to the days of 
Samuel de Champlain. 

Besides Champlain, local native tribes, the Iroquois and the Abenaki 
are said to have their own legends of a mystifying creature that lives
 in the waters of Lake Champlain. Over the many years Lake 
Champlain visitors have documented sightings of “Champy”. “Champy” 
is described as a creature with a wide body, outstretching neck, long tail, 
fins like a whale, and ranging in length from 10 to 60 feet. 

Keep your eyes open while at the lake, you never if “Champy” 
might show up! 

MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR THE LAKE HAVE SPOTTED SOMETHING LIKE IT (CHAMPY), IT WAS EVEN ON THE TRAVEL CHANNEL. The Loch Ness Monster is an alleged animal, identified neither as to a family or species, but claimed to inhabit Scotland's Loch Ness. The Loch Ness Monster is one of the best-known animals studied by cryptozoology. Popular belief and interest in the animal have waxed and waned over the years since the animal came to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is largely anecdotal, with minimal, and much disputed, photographic material and sonar readings: there has not been any physical evidence (skeletal remains, capture of a live animal, definitive tissue samples or spoor) uncovered as of 2008. Local people, and later many around the world, have affectionately referred to the animal by the diminutive Nessie (Scottish Gaelic: "Niseag") since the 1950s.

Champ is the name given to a supposed monster living in Lake Champlain. ^[1] While there is no scientific evidence for the cryptid's existence, and many reasons against it, there have been over 300 reported sightings. The legend of the monster is considered a "big draw" for tourism in the Burlington, Vermont area.

Like the Loch Ness Monster, some believers in Champ consider it a relative of the plesiosaur, an extinct group of aquatic reptiles. A recent sound recording, said to be of Champ, consists of numerous echolocation clicks, suggesting that the alleged cryptid may be a new kind of freshwater whale or dolphin.
