Video: Legendary Lake Champlain Monster Gets Historical Marker

A legendary 'monster' said to lurk in the waters of Lake Champlain has been recognized with a historical marker. The alleged denizen of the deep, known as 'Champ' or 'Champy,' is believed by many to reside in the lake which acts as a border between New York and Vermont. In the latter state, the creature has inspired all manner of tributes, including serving as the namesake for a minor league baseball team and even a proposal for a commemorative license plate.

Now, New York state is reportedly showing Champy some love by way of a new marker, unveiled this week in the town of Plattsburgh which sits on the shore of Lake Champlain. The signage declares that a "legendary lake monster lives here" and that there have been "over 300 sightings since 1819." The marker also notes that New York state law "protects this regional icon," which is in reference to a 1983 resolution bestowing such status upon the apocryphal creature.
