Now listen, I was searching the web to put some links on here and I found another legend.
Somewhere in Vermont, there's a lake called Lake Champlain, and people have been seeing what appears to be a sea monster. This might as well be our Loch Ness Monster, but there's been so much proof. Ever since the 1800's people have been spotting it. Now I believe in the Loch Ness Monster but is this real?
Like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster, most of the evidence for Champ's existence rests on eyewitness testimony. As I have noted elsewhere (Radford 2002), such accounts are notoriously unreliable and a poor substitute for hard evidence. One writer (Rabbit 2000) listed over a dozen factors that can reduce the accuracy of such accounts, including observer's fear and stress; poor observation conditions; slippage of memory; seeing what the observer wants or expects to see; changing details to conform to other witnesses' accounts; reluctance to admit ignorance; filling in nonexistent details, and so on.
