HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. A man from Mecklenburg County on Sunday said he saw a dinosaur-like creature.
35-year-old B.T., a salesman who provided a full name but asked to remain anonymous, told Cryptozoology News that he was at Lake Norman on a boat with his friends when the animal showed up on Saturday morning.
I was on a boat with my friends, he said. We where near the lakes main channel when we saw something splashing around in the water.
He described the alleged creature as a 10-feet-long dinosaur reminiscent of the mythical Loch Ness monster. He added that the animal was visible for about 1 minute before disappearing back into the water. There were no photographs or videos submitted with the report.
In 2016, a man from the same area reported seeing a reptilian being swimming at Lake Norman.
In 2015, a man claiming to be a park ranger told Cryptozoology News he had seen something that looked like a dinosaur eating a duck at the same lake.
Reports of lake monsters are rare.

Fake News!! Donald was right! The Scots were behind it, laddie.
Looks more like two guys in a canoe.

Yet it has more credibility than most CNN or NY Times reports.
No, I meant the top photo: the “waves” look like ripples.
