Chessie and Champ - The Monsters Beneath - Episode 73

Every lake has a legend… and some legends refuse to stay buried. In this chilling episode of Creepy Confidential, host Noelle dives deep into the dark waters of American cryptid lore to uncover the truth behind two of the most terrifying lake monsters ever reported: Champ of Lake Champlain and Chessie of the Chesapeake Bay. From ancient Native American legends and early explorer accounts to newspaper reports, sonar recordings, photographs, and classified military sightings, this episode explores centuries of encounters with massive, serpentine creatures lurking beneath the surface. Are these monsters prehistoric survivors like the plesiosaur? Giant unknown eels? Mutated creatures shaped by pollution? Or something far older—guardians of the water remembered in folklore across cultures? You’ll hear:

• The first recorded sightings of Champ, including accounts tied to Samuel de Champlain
• The infamous Mansi Photo and why it still defies explanation
• Unidentified underwater sounds captured in Lake Champlain
• The rise of Chessie, the Chesapeake Bay sea serpent, including unidentified Smithsonian-reviewed footage
• Native legends of water spirits, river dragons, and serpents that punish those who disrespect the deep
• A disturbing theory suggesting Champ and Chessie may be connected… or the same creature

If you’re fascinated by cryptids, lake monsters, sea serpents, urban legends, unexplained sightings, folklore, conspiracies, and deep-water mysteries, this episode will leave you questioning what really moves beneath calm water.
