Champ Sightings

On the evening of June 11, 2026, Thomas Scozzafava — a retired town supervisor for Moriah — was looking out over Lake Champlain from a hill above Port Henry when he spotted an anomaly moving through the water and captured two cell-phone videos of it. The footage shows a dark shape swimming and surfacing, and was quickly picked up by Coast to Coast AM. Port Henry has billed itself as the 'Home of Champ' since the 1980s.

On the evening of July 14, 2025, Vicky Tucker was walking her dog along the Lake Champlain shore at Port Henry when she noticed a strange wake on the calm water resolve into a series of black humps rising to the surface. She pulled out her phone and filmed the disturbance, then sent the footage to longtime Champ researcher Katy Elizabeth. Port Henry has billed itself as the 'Home of Champ' since the 1980s, and the sighting was picked up by Coast to Coast AM.

During production of the film 'Lucy and the Lake Monster' on August 2, 2024, a drone operated by the Tabor-Rossi team captured what appears to be a large creature swimming just below the surface of Bulwagga Bay, trailing behind a boat. The anomaly went unnoticed until post-production review, and the footage was presented by William Shatner on the History series 'The UnXplained' on October 3, 2025, reigniting interest in America's most famous lake monster.
