Five vacationers from Maryland claim they've seen Champ, the mythical Lake Champlain monster.
Bob Gload and four of his grandchildren said they saw a dark, black, snakelike creature while bass fishing Wednesday afternoon. Gload said there was an "explosion" in the water, and then he saw three humps, two-to-three-feet tall, four-to-five feet apart.
"I was born in Champlain. I never believed in Champ or the Loch Ness monster," Gload told the Press-Republican of Plattsburgh. "I believe now."
