For centuries, eyewitnesses around the world -- from America to Africa, Argentina to Scotland -- have reported sightings of dark, mysterious creatures in area lakes that surface briefly, only to quickly disappear. While the most famous lake monsters of Loch Ness & Lake Champlain have gained international notoriety, hundreds of lakes around the world are said to shelter these shadowy creatures. Lake Monster Mysteries is the first book to examine these widespread mysteries from a scientific perspective. By using exhaustive research & results from firsthand investigations to help separate truth from myth, the authors foster our understanding of what really lurks in the cold, murky depths. Benjamin Radford & Joe Nickell are considered to be among the top lake monster authorities in the world. Here they share unique insights into many of the world's best-known lake monsters. 

They interview witnesses & local experts & discuss the different types of lake monster sightings, delve into possible explanations for those sightings, & examine hoaxes, evidence claims, & legends surrounding the monsters. The authors have also conducted groundbreaking fieldwork & experiments at the lakes & have examined recent photographic & sonar evidence. Incorporating newly-revealed information & up-to-date developments in the cases they present, professional monster hunters Radford & Nickell plunge into both the cultural histories of these creatures & the scientific inquiries that may hold the key to these mysteries.
