35-year-old North Carolina recently visited artificial Norman’s pond and saw something unusual there. The man who wished keep your identity secret, told cryptozoologists in Internet about the incident with him. According to the American, he sailed on the lake in a boat and unexpectedly found in the water incomprehensible dinosaur-like creature. Noteworthy that by witnesses the appearance of the monster also became the friends of our hero. Eyewitness reports:
My friends and I went on a fishing trip to Norman. we got a boat out of the car, lowered it into the water, took gear and swam. Having reached the center of the lake, we stopped and started to fish. At some point, one of my comrades looked at water, turned pale and whispered that under us there is something – big and terrible. A loud splash was heard from there. We looked overboard boats and suddenly saw a gray long creature moving in the water below us. Its length clearly exceeded three and a half meters. It was somewhat similar to the famous Loch Ness monster. We just stopped moving and sat like it seemed for ages. Later this amazing creature disappeared and we immediately sailed to shore. We were very scared. None of us had enough then the courage to get a phone and shoot a monster. Subsequently we found out that our company was far from the first to observe here is this fantastic dinosaur.
The legend of the Norman monster
Numerous eyewitnesses have previously reported a meeting on the lake Norman with a huge long-necked dinosaur. However, here’s what is interesting: this reservoir, as mentioned above, is man-made, and created he was only a little over half a century ago – unlike the same Loch Ness, which appeared in Scotland naturally many millions of years ago. Where did this prehistoric come from whopper? Is the “bird brought the egg on the foot”? Or cryptids just moved here from a parallel dimension? The latter seems much more likely …

The starting point in the legend of the Norman monster is, perhaps the construction of a nuclear power plant here. The pond was created in 1963 by blocking the Katavba River dam. The area of spilled water was more than 130 square kilometers, the length of the formed coastline is about 835 kilometers. IN in some places the depth of the lake reaches 30 meters. River section Cavance Ford, where the artificial pond appeared, is closely linked to Katawba Native Indians and early American settlers. TO Unfortunately, all local historical monuments were hidden under water.
The power plant was commissioned in 1981. Many claim that the Norman monster is a mutant that appeared on light under the influence of radioactive waste from nuclear power plants. Nonetheless, this theory does not stand up to criticism because similar genetic changes are incredibly rare and occur gradually over time decades with many generations of animals. In addition, stories about Norman cryptids originate in the 1970s years.

Who is hiding in Lake Norman?
Some divers plunged into the lake to repair the dam, henceforth refused to dive here after being noticed under water huge fish or something else that can easily gobble up person. Someone claimed that this is not a fish at all, but a long one snake. Other hypotheses feature a giant alligator, sturgeon, catfish, snakehead fish and freshwater eel. Experts say that if cryptid exists, then it must be warm-blooded. Snake, alligator and other cold-blooded animals, they say, do not will suffer North Carolina winters.

However, in the waters of Norman there is a rare species of jellyfish that does not found anywhere else in this state. This proves that alien species may well take root in such an artificial pond. However, the fish still looks the most plausible option. TO For example, catfish can in theory grow up to 5 meters in length, and weight such a giant will exceed 400 kilograms. There are cases when even human beings were found in the stomachs of record catfish remains.

The monster here is affectionately called Normi. Not a quarter passes, so that the monster does not show its back in the dark waters of the lake. Normi is a local tourist attraction – once here, you can purchase a keychain, fridge magnet, mug or any other souvenir with a cartoon image of “Norman’s horror”. Periodically expeditions are arranged to see or even catch a cryptid – like the one from which passages can be seen on video below. Unfortunately, in the photo or video, a mysterious creature, in the difference from his Scottish “colleague” has not yet hit. It remains to be hoped that such a meeting is yet to come …
