"Uhh, I don't think they like each other very much, Nick." "What makes you say that?" "Oh, you know. The biting."

Me upon first moving to northern NY: Haha, it’s so funny that people are bitter about Lake Champlain not being labeled as a Great Lake!

Me now: *one of the people bitter that Lake Champlain is not considered a Great Lake*

Like, yeah, it’s not as deep as the Great Lakes, but it has a mud bottom that just eats things, and we don’t know how far down the mud goes. Ships have gone missing in the lake to never be found. Projects around the lake sometimes unearth parts of ships and cannons that have sunken into the mud. The mud is an unknowable, frightening depth. There are parts of the lake where you can die from hypothermia in the middle of summer, which can get to 100 degrees F for us! The lake creates its own extreme weather and constant wind currents that never really let up! A normal day is like, 10mph for wind. Sometimes we just get random windstorms with wind between 40–65mph. Hanging clothes outside is a dumb thing to do around here because of that. Shit needs to be nailed down if it’s outside!

But basically, I now have a deep respect for Lake Champlain. Respect the lake, and just maybe the monster won’t get you.

Every time someone mocks the size of the Great Lakes as a location for naval warfare—I'm looking at you, Drachinifel YouTube channel—I want to remind them of the War of 1812 naval battle in LAKE CHAMPLAIN, which is 1/20th the size of Lake Erie!

You wonder how they squeezed a frigate, a corvette, two brigs, three sloops, a schooner and twenty-two gunboats between the British and US forces on one lake in Vermont, but somehow they managed.

This video was taken by Pete Bodette and Dick Affolter during the summer of 2005 and later was shown on ABC News. The creature in the video is thought to be none other than the famous Lake Champlain Monster of Vermont. This mysterious lake monster has been seen since the early 1800s and sightings continue in more recent years.

Two retired FBI agents reportedly viewed the Bodette film and claimed it was authentic. According to the fishermen, the creature was never fully seen but they did see its nose and head surface occasionally. The film is reportedly being held by a lawyer until someone pays enough money for it to be released.

Bodette was quoted as saying, “I’m 100 percent sure of what we saw. I’m not 100 percent sure of what it was.”
