Fisherman Observes White Creature Swimming in Antrim Lake
Account
The witness reports fishing at dawn on the shore of a quarry lake when bubbles rose and churned in the middle of the water. A large white entity surfaced, swam across the lake, exited on the far side, and walked up the bank into woods bordering a river. The witness estimated its size by comparing it to a cyclist at the exit point.
