Is this miracle of the deep, this fair Chateaugay Lake’s beastly guest,
A tale to be believed, or is it all but jest?
The serpent, so described, yet could not be repressed,
By any one who’s heard the witnesses attest,
Such monstrous form and size, all attributes so vast,
That, when ‘gainst the sun its silhouette was cast,
It seemed the devil’s work, or some terrible jest,
Not just an ordinary creature of the deep,
But something we’ve only imagined in our sleep,
So strange, it may have come from some far distant sea,
Through hidden channels, swollen with underground streams,
To bring its terror to the waters so serene,
To all who come, a warning to abstain.
And yet, despite all proof, some do deny,
That what we’ve seen, is really here on high.
For them, this thing in Chateaugay Lake may be,
But one more hidden mystery, so hard to see.
What mysteries of Chateaugay Lake haunt you?
