Bear Lake monster

The Bear Lake Monster is a mythological lake monster appearing in local folk-lore near Bear Lake, on the Utah–Idaho border.

The myth originally grew from articles written in the 19th century by Joseph C. Rich, a Mormon colonizer in the area, purporting to report second-hand accounts of sightings of the creature. However, he later recanted the stories.^[1]

Subsequent alleged reports have given conflicting descriptions of the beast, with some describing it as similar to a walrus and others saying that it is more like a dinosaur and still others describing it as a larger-than-average carp. The last reported sighting of the monster was in 2004.^[1]

There is another theory to the monster. Some believe it to be the same as the loch ness monster. On the fault line on the east side of the lake, legend has it that there is a cavern that connects to lake loch ness. And the monster occasionally goes back from one lake to another.^{[citation needed]}
