Sighting of Memphremagog Monster, June 4, 2000

June 4, 2000, at 5 p.m. I met at my office with Joanne, Serge, and Bruno Nadeau, who live in Sherbrooke, Quebec. They told me the following story,which I taped:

Around 2 p.m. today (4 June 2000) the lake (Memphremagog) was very calm; their boat was anchored off the shore in Sargeant's Bay (where there are public moorings) when suddenly they saw what seemed to them an immense wave travelling in front of them, in a East-West direction. (they likened the wave to the wake produced by a boat with a 20 h.p. motor.)

They said they saw a creature of approximately 75 feet long [which had] an immense head and tail.

When the head came out [of the water] and re-entered, they could see the tail -- this phenomenon was repeated 8-10 times.

The creature was brown and sleek, and moved rather quickly.

[It had] the head of an ox"…half as big…similar to the head of a horse.

They could see [movement] over a distance of approximately 2000 feet.

Nearby, there was a couple and when [I] shouted to them to look, the creature plunged and didn't return to the surface," said one of the witnesses.

These three people confirmed they saw this phenomenon during 2.5 to 3 minutes.
