North Carolina, United States
long and serpentine with fins and flippers
15-30 feet long
Lake Norman was created in 1967 when the Cowans Ford Hydroelectric Station dammed up the Catawba River. Over one hundred feet deep in some areas, the lake is home to the McGuire Nuclear Plant and, some say, a strange creature known as the Lake Norman Monster, or "Normie."
Normie has been sighted by dozens of witnesses: swimmers, fishermen, campers, water-skiers and scuba divers.
Chases fast boats and often bumps up against water-skiers and swimmers.
A scuba diver reported narrowly escaping a creature with red eyes and a doglike head that chomped into one of his flippers.
