About this listen
Lake Monsters: Strange Encounters offers bone-chilling tales of human survival and death with mysterious creatures of the deep, murky freshwater of North America. These are true, frightening encounters with unimaginable and elusive freshwater cryptids. Was that just underwater grass or a slithering tentacle? A sharp rock or the exposed scale of a buried predator? A ripple in the water from a trout or something larger and more sinister?
From the Great Lakes to pristine backyard swimming pools, the next time you stare into the depths, you’ll remember the fantastic and horrifying cryptids that lurk below the surface. Dive in if you dare.

Story
Remarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the “eel question”: Where do eels come from? What are they? Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether? Even in our age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don’t understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives. They remain a mystery.
