Filmmakers Richard Rossi and Kelly Tabor may have captured significant evidence of Champ, the legendary lake monster of Lake Champlain, while working on a children's film titled 'Lucy and the Lake Monster.' The footage, discovered nearly two years after filming, shows a large unidentified creature swimming behind their boat. Tabor described the creature as having a skinny neck and a larger body, which did not resemble any known fish. The legend of Champ dates back to 1819, with the first documented sighting by Captain Crum, who reported seeing a massive snake-like creature. This new footage has drawn attention from scientists and the History Channel's series 'The UnXplained,' which claims it could be the strongest evidence of Champ since a famous photograph taken in 1977. The mystery of Champ has become a significant part of local culture, with over 300 reported sightings and annual festivals in Port Henry, New York, celebrating the creature.
