The Serpent Terrorizes Silver Lake Fishermen Adventure
An 8pm party on Silver Lake near Howe's Pump Factory reports a colossal sea serpent near their boat. They describe a moving, bowing, four to eight foot creature that surfaced repeatedly, nearly capsizing the boat, prompting a hasty shoreward retreat and a two mile trek home. The witnesses insist they are reputable locals and insist the monster’s size would merit belief if the tale were smaller.
