Two filmmakers, Kelly Tabor and Richard Rossi, recently discovered the most-discussed glimpse of “Champ” on camera since 1977. Interestingly enough, New York native Tabor has searched for the “Loch Ness of Lake Champlain” for over fifty years, and just as editing was wrapping up for the screen version of her and Rossi’s book ‘Lucy & the Lake Monster’, the duo caught something unexpected on their high-definition drone camera, sent out by their DP to capture a simple shot of the two main characters in their boat, actress Emma Pearson, (pictured), who plays Lucy, an orphan girl looking for Champ, and Richard Rossi, (pictured below with Kelly Tabor), who plays her grandfather, “Papa.”
Locals call him “Champ”, and he’s thought to possibly be a plesiosaur-type animal living in the waters of Lake Champlain. His existence isn’t a new discovery; sightings have been documented as far back as the days of the Abenaki Indians living in the region. When Samuel de Champlain found the lake in the early 1600s, he also documented seeing a sea serpent in its deep waters. Over the years, there have been many Champ sightings, including photographic evidence dating back to 1977.
The Tabor-Rossi footage is the first high-definition footage of Champ to date, and it offers perhaps the most compelling evidence pointing to his existence. In the footage, viewers can clearly spot what appears to be a large marine animal swimming in the bottom right side of the frame, swimming towards the main character’s boat. According to Tabor and Rossi, they were shooting scenic views on a beautiful July afternoon, and they were shocked when they discovered what they’d captured underwater using their drone.
Now, some are comparing the footage to the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot reel, which was shot in California in 1967. Many have attempted to authenticate or debunk the film, and they’ve all been unsuccessful. Tabor-Rossi have released their footage to the public so that anyone and everyone can get a glimpse of Champ.
