Some Classic Lake Monsters Encounters

Folklorists Charles E. Brown was an inveterate collector of monster tales. Many of the following stories are derived from his classic work Sea Monsters.

Elkhart Lake

A creature with "big jaws" and "flashing eyes" pulled a fisherman end over end into Elkhart Lake in the mid-1890s.

Lake Mendota

The scales of a sea serpent were found on Lake Mendota's Picnic Point in 1917. That fall, a fisherman angling off the point was startled when a "large snake-like head, with large jaws and blazing eyes" popped up from the depths less than a hundred feet away from where he was standing. And in that same area, a University of Wisconsin coed tanning on a dock reacted with a speed she didn't know she possessed when she turned over to yell at her boyfriend to stop tickling her feet, but instead witnessed the head and neck of a huge serpent whose long tongue was lapping at her toes. Bozho, as the marine anomaly was known locally, had a reputation as a prankster, overturning canoes and piers, chasing sailboats, and scaring swimmers half to death. Back in 1899, a group of ladies had spotted Bozho while they were out boating on the lake. They reported that the serpent's head, which reared some distance out of the water, was ten inches in diameter and that the end of its tail, decorated with two big horns, lashed the water into a frothy foam as the creature dove beneath the waves.

Lake Michigan

During one winter in the late 1990s, Kim, thirtysomething, was riding on a bus near Grant Park in Milwaukee when a movement in Lake Michigan caught her eye. Weaving in and out of broken chunks of ice was a dark object resembling the submerged roof of a Volkswagen Beetle. Kim immediately signaled for the bus to stop. She got off and, despite wearing a skirt and inappropriate shoes, went running through the snow to the water's edge to get a better look. The object appeared to be feeding as it moved farther out from shore.

Lake Monona

In June 1897, Eugene Heath of the Garr-Scott Company fired two rifle shots at a twenty-foot serpent plying the waters of Lake Monona, near Madison. The marine monster may have been responsible for swallowing a swimming dog a few days earlier.

Lake Waubesa

An Illinois resident who went rowing on Lake Waubesa in the 1920s claimed to have seen a serpent "sixty-seventy feet in length and of a dark green color" apparently sunning itself on the surface of the lake. In the same period, a couple swimming off Waubesa Beach were terrified when a creature with glittering eyes surfaced near them.

Lake Kegonsa

A "dragon" was frequently sighted during the 1920s in the waters of Lake Kegonsa, off both Colladay and Williamson points. Unlike the mild-mannered Bozho, this habitué of the deep was characterized as vengeful and destructive.

Pewaukee Lake

In the 1890s, a "huge green thing traveling like a gray streak" and "spouting water" was frequently reported near the resort hotels that at the time dotted the shores of Waukesha County's Pewaukee Lake. One man claimed he'd tried to spear the green leviathan, but his "weapon bounded back as though it had struck a rock or iron plate."

Red Cedar Lake

The famous sea serpent of Red Cedar Lake in Jefferson County was first seen by fishermen in 1891. One witness said it had a "very large head with protuberances like saw teeth on its back." It was fifty feet long.

Rock Lake

Not to be outdone by other Wisconsin lakes, Rock Lake in Jefferson County is the lair of a monster named Rocky. Although he became more benign with age, Rocky started his career much like the vengeful dragon of Lake Kegonsa. It was August 1882 that rowboat racers Ed McKenzie and D. W. Seybert spied what they thought was a floating log. However, as they approached the "log," it suddenly "manifested life," thrusting its "head about three feet out of the water" and opening "it's huge jaws about a foot or more" before diving out of sight. McKenzie screamed in terror as the creature resurfaced near his boat. Seybert yelled, "Strike him with the oar!" But McKenzie, terrified out of his wits, called in desperation to the group onshore. A Captain Wilson, shotgun at the ready, came to the rescue, but by then the monster had vanished, leaving the air "heavy with a most sickening odor."

That was not to be Rocky's only sortie. Passing boaters reported being hissed at by the monster form the rushes near the shore.

Style Notes -

File Under: Iconic Establishments

THE BERGDORF GOODMAN EDIT:

C.O.G.A Style Notes: It's not about what you do, but how you do it, and when it comes to first rate American Department stores still capable of producing a fashionable shopping experience drenched in magic, there's Bergdorf Goodman! As Our Lady of Great Costuming Pat Field Stated:

"Bergdorf still hold's that sense of tradition & doesn't stomp all over it with some kind of square foot or dollar entity."

C.O.G.A Lifestyle Guide -

If one doesn't find themselves in a position to drop in, as there's only one location, bring Bergdorf into your home with the following acts of engagement: 1. Snapping up the 'Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf Goodman' book and immersing oneself in it's pages before giving it proper placement on your coffee table!

2. Follow that up with a purchasing x screening of the 'Scatter My Ashes' docu, where you sip bubbly from Miranda Kerr Champagne flutes, serve delectable spreads that will allow for crumbs to be dabbed away from YSL Rouge Painted Lips with Baccarat x Kim Seybert cocktail napkins, Close the evening with Bialetti x Dolce Moka made coffee x Homemade Borgo De' Medici Tiramisu and conversations regarding Betty Halbreich & the role that Bergdorf played in the scenes x success of the Sex & The City + it's wardrobe dept!

3. & should one find themselves feeling truly Bergdorf splurgy & inspired, then I'd advise indulging in the Darling Bonnie designed 'Entirely TOO expensive Curated List For The Bergdorf Gals ((& Those Who'd Like To Be))' chock full of Bergdorf Goodman merchandising. Do all of this whilst donning an ensemble of which even Linda Fargo would approve.

Chic Only, Glamour Always!
