Lake Erie Monster Took Tommy!
Bernie in Clearwater, Florida called in to tell of her family's lake monster story:
“I wanna tell you a family story that we have. My stepdad. This happened in the 1920s about. My stepdad was 6 or 7 years old and he had gone on something like a scouting trip with the... Well, anyway, it was at Lake Erie and at the time there was like a sandbar or peninsula or something that went out into Lake Eerie. It was very narrow and the tents were lined up single file and him and his best friend Tommy were in the last tent at the end of the peninsula out in Lake Erie. He was, even at the age of 80 years old, before he died, I didn't get a whole lot of details on the story because he would become very emotional but he was able to confirm to me that this is what happened. What happened is, some time during the night his friend Tommy disappeared and there was no trace found of the child. Nothing was ever heard of the child again. And the only... he said that the lake monster took Tommy. And even to the day he died he still said, the lake monster took Tommy in the night. So that's our family story and I never met anybody that was more credible than my stepdad.”
