In 1917, a young couple sunbathed at the pier on Lake Mendota. As they lay on their backs and chatted with their feet over the edge, the girl felt something tickling her heels and thought it was her boyfriend.

However, when she turned over she saw a huge snake or a dragon in the water. The couple fled. That year, piers were damaged and boats overturned - blamed on the monster. Shortly before this wave of observations on the shore near Picnic Point washed a large hairy skin.

She was sent to the University of Wisconsin, where she puzzled experts. The State Historical Society recorded that one anonymous professor believed it was from a sea snake.

They are without a doubt the most famous monsters on the planet. But what about the weirdness that happened in Wisconsin's Lake Mendota?
