"I am stumped when attempting to identify some mysterious beings that were very casually surfacing in the water of the east pond at Twin Lakes Park in Long Lake Township."
I received the following information:
"Hi. I am not inclined to believe in the existence of the Loch Ness monster or the photos and sightings of blurred hairy creatures some call Bigfoot. But I have to admit I am stumped when attempting to identify some mysterious beings that were very casually surfacing in the water of the east pond at Twin Lakes Park in Long Lake Township.
I was at the Park at the north end of Ardmore to document the newest playground equipment under construction when I noticed the water swirling in the pond. At first, it appeared to be a large fish. Then I noticed another similar shape in the water several yards to the north. The two creatures hovered just below the water’s edge, periodically breaking the surface, sometimes in one place and other times in two. Both objects alternated between moving and being motionless. A few minutes after watching them, I began to believe they were turtles. Then the shapes became clearer, and I could see that one of the creatures was at least 3 feet long.
If this being is a turtle or fish, either way, it would be the largest of either species I have seen in any lake or pond. At times, I thought the object was long and thin. Then the shadows under the water appeared oval and shorter. As I tried to get a clearer view, suddenly the creature swirled and created a large disturbance in the water. The creature appeared to dive a little, then slowly rise just below the surface again.
I took several photos with a telephoto lens but could not see clearly enough to identify what it was. The second creature was no longer visible, so I focused on one for several minutes. It stayed at least 75 feet from the shoreline, almost in the same spot where I first noticed it. So getting closer to the water would be of no benefit.
I started to scan the rest of the lake, hoping to find another that I could identify. I kept looking for dark shadows just below the surface. On the opposite side of the lake, I noticed one very similar to the creature offshore on my side. But this shadow was larger. Much larger. The same long, thin shadow kept getting bigger as it seemed to come closer to the surface. The object never broke the surface of the water. It stayed below and then slowly disappeared. The photos I took of this much larger shadow showed it to be at least 20-30 feet long. Objects on the opposite shoreline can be used as a reference in the photo.
What these sightings were is beyond my ability to identify. As I drove home, I laughed at the prospect of an underwater creature living in a lake so close to where I lived. What’s next? A furry upright animal rustling around the garbage cans at night? Whatever the answer, I will find out and once and for all know what creatures live among the fish in Twin Lakes in Long Lake Township." D
