Was pretty sure that one of the guys who took the original picture (there were originally three or four) admitted on his deathbed it was all a hoax. They decided to take it to their graves after the whole thing got blown up far beyond what they thought would happen.

Though of course, like the Ogopogo or other 'monsters' there's often local legends that go back pretty far. Not that that validates the story of course, people get more and more superstitious the further back you look We didn't know how the world worked, didn't know what was out there. I just mean that one could probably take a fake photograph of whatever they wanted, and tie it back to some legend to give it more believability or relevance.

Like how people use ancient myths and paintings to 'prove' validity of UFO theories.
