Supernatural Lakes: Monsters, Ghosts, Witches, Fairies and Aliens

Presented by: Dr. John Downing, Director of the Sea Grant College Program, a research scientist at the Large Lakes Observatory on Lake Superior, and a professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. 

For centuries, people have looked at lakes and ponds as places of mystery, wonder and the unknown. Perhaps this is because they can't easily see beneath the surface so let their imaginations run wild - or is it? As a Hallowe'en treat, I will talk about supernatural lakes and tell stories of lake monsters, lake ghosts, lake witches, wicked water fairies and even aliens harbored beneath the seemingly serene waters of lakes around the world. Kick your Halloween off the aquatic way and learn some strange and supernatural things about the lakes we love.
