Here are some more information for Mud Monster:

Lake Norman was created by Duke Power sometime between 1959 and 1964 as part of the Cowans Ford Dam construction. It was named after the Duke Power's ex-president, Norman Cocke. Lake Norman is North Carolina's largest manmade form of fresh water, which receives water flowing from the Catawba River.

The shoreline of the lake is approximately 520 miles and its surface area is greater than 50 square miles. Certain parts of this manmade lake are more than 110 feet deep. With so much depth, it is no longer a surprise that such an immense amount of lake water holds some mysterious secrets, just like the feared Lake Norman Monster.

Campbell, a resident of Glendale Springs in North Carolina said that he had grown up near Lake Norman. During his high school years and he would spend most of his afternoons enjoying a swim in the lake.

It was in the summer of 1982 when Campbell and his friends were swimming in the lake. As they enjoyed playing in the water, they noticed something that looked like a sunken upturned canoe a few distance from them. They swam towards it but it drifted away as if it was carried along by the current.

After a very short while, they saw a small fish jump on the area where the canoe-like thing was and moreover saw consistencies of mud in the same area. They thought that what they saw were merely floating leaves or debris until they heard a great splash amidst a group of paddling ducks. The ducks came out on the lake's surface as if the thing that caused the splash had pulled them under the water. Campbell and his friends never saw the canoe-like thing again but they would always find the foul-smelling "mud" on the lake.

Another North Carolina resident claims to have seen the Lake Norman Monster. She said she had only visited her friend's lake house but she saw something so terrible that made her swear never to come back to that place again. She said that she saw the creature come out of the water. Its head, as she described it, which looked like that of a prehistoric dinosaur, was a little larger than a human head. Its brown-colored neck was about ten feet long its eyes are horrifyingly bright and large.

For several years now, many terrified visitors reported that they had witnessed the appearance of the monster near, or in, the manmade Lake Norman. Although individual descriptions vary slightly, the Lake Norman Monster is mostly described as a long, serpentine creature with odd fins that creates foul-smelling mud consistencies as it lurks under the lake water.

There is a website that describes the Lake Norman Monster and numerous other creatures of Cryptozoology in detail, this website is called: Unknown Creatures and it may be found at this url: http://www.unknown-creatures.com

Mud Bogging - Proof You Should be a Redneck

Imagine it: the sleek, shiny bodies, all in peak condition, battling it out in filthy, mud-slinging competition, emerging heated, covered in mud, and victorious even if they lost. No, these muck-covered beauties won't be on the cover of Sports Illustrated; they're more likely to be found on the pages of Off-Roading, especially the ones with tractor-grade tires.

Mud bogging is a sport that combines the thrill of racing, the love of top-performance vehicles, the fun of off-road mudding, and the never-outgrown little boy love of playing in the mud, getting as dirty as humanly possible. The sport began in the 1970s, when off-road afficionados started racing their vehicles through the most boggy, muddy, dirty areas they could find - notably, the swamps of North Carolina. Motorsports show organizers picked up on the trend and began including long mud-filled pits for racing in their shows, and as the sport grew in popularity among racers and spectators alike, mud bogging grew into its own organized competition.

In 1988, the National Mud Racing Association was organized in Dayton, Ohio, making this rebel sport a legitimate member of the auto sports racing family. Today, you can see mud bogging exhibitions and competitions throughout the country.

Mud Bogging Rules

Vehicles that compete in professional mud bogging are required to have four-wheel drive, and are generally turbocharged, high-clearance, oversize-tire vehicles, often with nitrous injections and other nifty modifications. Picture a monster truck on steroids, and you pretty much have it. There are six classes of mud bogging vehicles, from stock four-wheel-drive vehicles all the way up to non-street-legal paddle and scoop tired madly-modified vehicles.

Bog tracks can range across a variety of types, from flat or progressive tracks to open bogs, even hilly tracks with rises punctuated by mudholes along the way. Tracks are up to 300 feet in length, usually determined by the amount of space allowed by the arena rather than what promoters think the vehicle can handle. It is common today to see mud bogging competitions at the same events that feature monster trucks because the two types of vehicle overlap; in fact, some of the best mud bogging racers first became known for driving monster trucks.

The racing is serious, and is generally as simple as a set of matches pitting winners versus winners. But if you go to watch mud bogging, you're almost certainly interested in the fun of the flying mud, not in who wins. Like in mud wrestling, both vehicles win, provided they come out thoroughly covered in mud.

If you want to get into mud bogging for yourself, the best route is by getting involved in mudding locally. Most country areas have a group of guys - and sometimes gals - who go mudding on a regular basis, seeking out the nastiest muddiest holes and driving ordinary four-wheel-drive vehicles through it. Many of these groups are happy to teach you how to get your car as dirty as possible, as fast as possible, and they frequently hold meets or are associated with mud bogging groups.

Honestly, though, if it sounds like fun, just go do it. Just make sure your cell phone has power before you get started - just in case you find more bog than mud.
