Southern California Lake Serpent
The community known as Lake Elsinore in Riverside County
seen a mysertious creature in the moderately sized lake of
Lake Elsinore. The first known sighting occured in 1884.
Though the sightings of this creature don't end there. In
1970, Bonnie Play, a lakesider, claimed to have seen this
creature twice. She described it as 12 feet long and about
3 feet wide. It's form of swimming is an up-and-down motion
unlike the horizontal motion of a snake.
After this, three Lake Elsinore State Park officials
claimed to see a similar creature surface 50 feet from
their vessel. In rebuttal, they gave conflicting
descriptions, though aggreeing the thing's existance was
odd.
