I had a whole Nessie phase when I was a kid, but I've never heard of either of these. Very cool!

I learned about Bessie first and that lead to learning about Pressie.

Thanks. I only learned about them in the past couple years myself. It's been fun finding all sorts of mysteries and monsters living around Michigan.

Fun! I didn't realize we had lake monsters of this side of "the pond" and I agree that the Great Lakes would be more hospitable than Loch Ness.

I agree. It is definitely big enough to support some huge animals.

So cool. I wrote a story about a creature in Lake Ontario. Who knows what lurks in the depths!

I'll have to look into that. I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard of a lake monster in all of the Great Lakes. Lake Michigan seems to be the only one without stories, but maybe I haven't found them yet. I will have to research.

Sorry, it's a fictional monster. Didn't mean to confuse things here.

Ah. Well, I'm sure there are people who claim something is in Lake Ontario.
