Trout Lake Monster

Trout Lake Monster

The Trout Lake Monster is an alleged animal, identified neither as to family or species, but claimed to inhabit Trout Lake in Ontario.There is a controversy amongst the residents of North Bay, Ontario regarding the existence of the creature. Some residents say that there have been long-time stories of large swells of water, shadows, and figures of various proportions and sizes, while others say that these claims have only come about in modern times. The story of the monster amplified after the mysterious disappearance of Margaret and Allen Campbell (along with their family dog) who went missing May 25, 1956. Apparently, after eating lunch they went out in their fiberglass boat, and were never seen again.John Robert Columbo (1999), "Mysteries of Ontario", Toronto: Hounslow Press, pg. 163] [Belanger, Joe. "Police Receive New Lead on 35-year-old Mystery. "North Bay Nugget." 3 Jan 1992.]

Local sightings of the "monster" have included monstrous muskie, crocodile/alligator-like creatures, and serpent-like creatures.

Trivia

There is a local North Bay band called The Trout Lake Monsters.
