Moberly Lake Monster

 

Moberly Lake Creature

Moberly Lake is  east of Dawson Creek, British Columbia .Like many Canadian Lakes it is said to have a resident monster. 65 million years ago, Moberly Lake was part of the shore of a great inland sea.

There have been various sightings of the Moberly Lake monster over the years, It has an abundance of fish such as Trout and Pike.

Moberly Lake is special to the Dane-zaa First Nations people, they call it  “the lake you can depend on.” Food sources there were always plentiful and reliable.The Dane-zaa First Nations also know , Moberly Lake as “the lake with a hole through it” or “the lake with no bottom.” There is a legend that is often told of an ancient creature that surfaces sometimes. The average depth of the lake is 18.3 m (60 ft) and maximum depth said to be 42.7 m (140 ft).Deep enough to hide a monster even if it is not bottomless.

In 1989 a local  resident reported seeing a creature in the lake with a horse like head.It seems the first nation legend may not be a legend after all.

Since then there seems to have been no sightings reported but possibly people are reluctant to report it because of fear of ridicule. If anyone knows of any more recent reports of the creature please post in comments .
