Legendary Lake Champlain Monster Honored with Second Historical Marker

A legendary sea creature said to lurk in Lake Champlain has been honored with a second historical marker. Known as 'Champ,' the mysterious cryptid akin to America's version of the Loch Ness Monster is believed by many to reside in the massive body of water that serves as a border between New York and Vermont. Said to have been spotted by hundreds of witnesses over the last few centuries, the lake monster has been adopted by several coastal communities in both states, serves as the mascot for a minor league baseball team, and was even considered for a commemorative license plate a few years ago. And now Champ is being celebrated once again by way of a new sign recognizing its proverbial point of origin.
