** Lake Champlain Monster **
===Sandra Mansi’s photograph of ‘Champ’, Lake Champlain’s celebrated inhabitant, is often held up as the best evidence we have of the existence of lake monsters. Benjamin Radford has been taking a long, hard look at this famous picture and argues that the Mansi photo isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.===

Article Summary: In July of 1977, Sandra Mansi, her fiancé Anthony Mansi, and her two children from her first marriage where taking a drive along Lake Champlain. They went down to the lakeshore, the children played in the water, Sandra watched them from a small distance, and Anthony went to get the camera from the car. As Sandra watched, she saw something in the water. She didn’t know what it was at first but she did manage to get a picture of the thing’s head and neck while they were out of the water. Four years later the photo was published in the New York Times. This article goes on to tell about how this photo Sandra Mansi had taken is the best piece of evidence there is regarding the existence of Champ. Although, some argue that this photo may be fake because Sandra cannot provide the negative from the photo and she cannot provide other photos from that role either. See full article
