Lake Champlain Monster Mini Series!


The Search for Lake Champlain’s Monster gets Mini-Series this Spring -





For centuries, tales have been told of a massive, unknown, aquatic creature living in the waters of Lake Champlain. The “beast” is said to be anywhere from ten to thirty feet long with an abnormally long neck, flippers and a dinosaur-like appearance. Sightings of the animal known as Champ reached their peak during the 1970s but history tells of a bizarre “water horse” said to reside in the lake long before the area became inhabited by settlers. Today, Champ is celebrated in local towns and villages along the lake and has even become a mascot for the local minor league baseball team.

This June, Small Town Monsters (2016’s Beast of Whitehall) and filmmaker Aleksandar Petakov will release On the Trail of… Champ; an examination of the legend and the ongoing search for the creature. Today, a new trailer for the film has been launched which gives a hint at some of what viewers can expect. ( https://youtu.be/iR1QKbMeewA ) On the Trail of… Champ is a six-to-eight episode mini-series filmed during the summer and early Fall of 2017. Petakov was on and around Lake Champlain for one of the largest, most well-funded searches for Champ in history and when the project is released on June 15th you’ll get to experience this massive search for yourself. What they found might just change your mind about the existence of such a creature. A crowd-funding campaign to finance post-production of the series launches January 25th which includes the opportunity to have your name listed in the series credits.

“Champ” marks the beginning of the new, ongoing series from Small Town Monsters titled “On the trail of…” and will be followed up in 2019 with a massive search across the Eastern United States for the legendary being called Bigfoot. On the Trail of… Champ will premiere on DVD and the VIDI Space streaming platform on June 15th before heading to Amazon in July. VIDI Space (http://www.vidi.space) is a new online network founded by Nick Groff ("Paranormal Lockdown" / "Ghost Adventures"), Elizabeth Saint ("Ghosts of Shepherdstown"), and Justin Narragon featuring paranormal and supernatural content.

Small Town Monsters made waves recently when they released Beast of Whitehall, a documentary which examined Whitehall, New York’s Bigfoot history. That documentary went on to garner film festival awards and played on New York television during the summer of 2016. Since then, Beast of Whitehall has become one of the most-viewed documentaries on bizarre subjects on Amazon Prime. The production company plans to hold a public premiere of On the Trail of… Champ at the annual Minerva Monster Day festival in Minerva, OH. The Festival will also feature Portland, Maine native, Loren Coleman; curator of the world’s only Cryptozoology Museum.
