There have been reports of persons spotting a creature akin to the Loch Ness Monster, but there have been no confirmed reports. There were reports in 1990 of people seeing a "large creature moving in the water about from their boat" described as black in color, about long, with a snakelike head, and moved as fast as a boat. Five other people reported seeing something similar on three separate occasions but there is no scientific evidence of such a creature. There is a beer named after the "Lake Erie Monster" as well as a hockey team. There were reports of people spotting a sea creature in the 19th century which was sometimes called "Bessie" or "South Bay Bessie".
