Lake Norman Monster Sightings

I just moved here and never heard of anything unusual in the lake. But in the 6 months I have been here I regularly see strange wakes on the surface of the water…

I saw a large wave off the cove right at sunset. No boats were around.

After reading about the Lake Norman Monster in a new book, “Monsters of North Carolina”, I convinced my husband that we needed to head out to look for this amazing creature which the writer claims has been there longer than the lake.

The other morning I was kayaking in the cove I live in and I could have sworn I saw an alligator but thought to myself “Brooke, c’mon it’s probably just your imagination.”

In the summer of 1985 two friends and I were bass fishing on the left side of Cowans Ford Dam in the shallow water. I looked down at what I first thought were big rocks…

While anchored near a cove close to my friend’s house, many of us were floating in the water, tubing and just lounging on the boat deck when I saw what looked like a bald human head come out of the water for a brief second…

It was 9:02 pm when me and two of my friends were taking out the boat to fish we had a trolling motor stayin in coves mostly but occasionally going in the main channel…

It was a normal Sunday morning. I was doing a lot of work on the lake like I always do. Suddenly, I felt a large “bump” on my kayak. This large “bump” caused me to panic and flip over.

My son-in-law & I were setting right of the bank at Stumpy Creek in my boat one night cat fishing. It was about 11 pm & we hadn’t had a bite all night. When all of a sudden one of my reels started screaming.

We were at the beaties ford park in Denver with our two year old son, he was curious to see the boats about to launch into the water from the peir. We were standing on a grassy knoll where you can sit on a bench that overlooks a rocky bank.
