'SHARLIE, THE LAKE MONSTER' Reported by Idaho Witness

The witness and two friends swear that they observed a serpent-like cryptid floating on Payette Lake near McCall, Idaho. Could the legend be true?

I recently received the following account:

"Hi. In 1974 a close and dear friend and her sister saw a huge serpent creature on the southside of Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho. We were heading back to Boise from camping on the north side of the lake. Karen was driving and I was sitting directly behind her. Karen and I were looking out to to our left and saw this huge serpent on top of the water just floating. It was totally floating with its narrow and long head and a very long neck with 3 huge humps plus maybe more submerged, we didn't see the tail. It was on the opposite shore of the lake. (looked like a Dino, the Dinosaur Icon) Its body filled up the whole cove from across the lake.  It was gray, shiny, and looking in the easterly direction. We both just stared and she kept on driving.

We both were having a cigarette with the windows down. I said, "Karen, do you see what I see?" She said, 'Yes! Yes!" Then, nodded vigorously. Her sister said '"What is that?" She refused to talk about it and was quiet all the way back home. We all were in fact.

2 years ago my dear friend Karen passed away. We hadn't talked about our sightings since 1974. One day we decided to report it to a museum or historian to let it be known that 'Sharlie the Lake Monster' does exist and possibly today! Her sister still doesn't talk about our sighting. It scared her to pieces. 

I feel like we are blessed to witness such a sighting. But it did take many years to tell the world. We never heard of Sharlie before. Who would have believed 3 teenagers in 1974?

One day I bought a Loch Ness magazine with stories of sightings from around the world including Idaho.  A year before my dear friend passed, I asked her if she would make an official statement with me to have our story in writing. Karen agreed and we tried to contact someone to help us post the sighting; to tell the world what we saw exists and is real! 

Can you help? Please let me know  Thank you, RH"

NOTE: In Idaho folklore, Sharlie (Slimy Slim, The Twilight Dragon of Payette Lake) is the name given to a lake serpent much like the Loch Ness Monster that is believed by some to live in the deep alpine waters of Payette Lake near McCall, Idaho. Could Sharlie be real? Lon

Alien abduction refers to the phenomenon of people reporting what they believe to be the real experience of being kidnapped by extraterrestrial beings and subjected to physical and psychological experimentation. During these abduction scenarios, the alien beings vary in description and conduct. In many cases, as described by abductees, there is usually a specific individual directing the procedures. Reptoids, or Reptilians, in most cases, seem to garner the 'overlord' status.

The Reptilian humanoids are also said to inhabit Earth as cloaked human beings who can shapeshift to their original form. There are several theories regarding these beings, including claims they are interdimensional, coming from another universe or dimension.

Regardless of what you may believe, there is a consistent number of reports from experiencers who claim to have been in the presence of these Reptilian humanoids and that they have suffered because of these interactions.

Please feel free to comment on the accounts and let me know your opinions.
