Image: AI-generated (Midjourney) Spanning parts of New York State, Vermont and Quebec - Lake Champlain is home to an elusive cryptozoological enigma not dissimilar to that of Scotland's Loch Ness.

The legend is believed to date back to 1609 when Samuel de Champlain wrote an account of a serpent-like creature measuring 5 ft long with large teeth, a body as thick as a man's thigh and tough silver-grey scales that his blade could not penetrate.

These days, the lake remains a popular tourist destination and stories of the creature - nicknamed 'Champ' - have endured for decades.

Now, tantalizing new evidence has emerged in the form of drone footage that supposedly shows an unidentified creature lurking just beneath the surface of the water.It was filmed during work on a new fictional movie entitled Lucy and the Lake Monster.

In the clip, there seems to be something in the water at the bottom-right of the frame, but is it actually a lake monster or could it be something else ?

Some have suggested that it could be some sort of large fish native to the lake or even a submerged rock sitting on the bottom.

You can view the footage for yourself below.
