Hated how the author kept throwing out the title in the book like it’s a catch phrase. Also, not the greatest cryptozoology collection I’ve read in regards to the geographical area. Poorly written. People are Seeing Something: a Survey of Lake Monsters in the United States and Canada Like Denver Michaels, I have always been fascinated with the unknowns lurking in the deep waters, though I didn’t like to think of it while swimming or boating in the Great Lakes. But a kid it was always fun fantasizing about them in the safety of my home.
I love how the author informs about the lake the monsters, the lakes, the terrain, and the people who had the most interesting sitings.

People are Seeing Something: a Survey of Lake Monsters in the United States and Canada I loved this book! Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the Loch Ness Monster-is it real?

This is an amusing read. while we have Nessi, can you believe that America has not, one, not two. but lots of Lake monsters, Yes we have all heard of Ogopogo, and Champ, but there is also Igopogo,,,
This has to. be read, tongue in cheek, something to make you giggle at and while away a couple of hours on a dreary grey day..

People are Seeing Something: a Survey of Lake Monsters in the United States and Canada A very thorough and expansive journey through the lakes of North America that are supposedly homes to monsters. A factual exploration of cryptozoology with a healthy amount of skepticism included (vs blind faith.) People are Seeing Something: a Survey of Lake Monsters in the United States and Canada I received a free copy of this book through the Goodreads giveaway.
I'll admit, I'm one of those dreadful skeptics, but I did enjoy this book. I love folklore, urban legends, and things like that, so a collection of people's tales about water monsters was right up my alley. I also appreciate that the author did admit when a story was pretty obviously a fake one.
The one downside is that variations on the title are repeated throughout the book in italics. It felt a bit trite and silly, and actually a little distracting. Other than that, it's a well-written and well-researched book that can appeal to both believers and skeptics. People are Seeing Something: a Survey of Lake Monsters in the United States and Canada People are Seeing Something: a Survey of Lake Monsters in the United States and Canada by Denver Michaels is a thought provoking book that explores that question we all have asked, is there something strange living in this lake? The author gives plenty of examples of stories of various sightings from Native people to present day. Especially interesting is his take on the story of tunnels that connect lakes. Highly interesting and informative, you can take what you want from this book and leave the rest. Whether you believe in this kind of thing or not, or if you are an avid fan of Nessie, you can find a lot to read about in this book. Lots of lake monsters to go around, Michaels covers a lot of territory here and keeps you interested. Highly recommend.
