About this episode

Professor Thompson discusses his repeated encounters with a mysterious creature in Lake Herrington.

“Professor Thompson, whose lake home sat on the shores of Lake Herrington said he had seen the creature an uncounted number of times and after this many encounters could still not determine Herry’s species. In an interview with the Louisville Courier, the professor is quoted as having said: ‘It’s only a monster in the sense that one would call an alligator a monster if they had never seen one before.’” Shownotes: -Midnight in Kentucky; The Bluegrass Cryptid Aquarium https://youtu.be/ANkXfj2Rslg?si=WkqqzmJuzB25Ki0A -Pine Barrens Institute; Cryptid Profile: The Herrington Lake Eel-Pig https://pinebarrensinstitute.com/cryptids/2018/8/19/cryptid-profile-the-herrington-lake-eel-pig
