The great Sioux chief and all his men went sinking down below to a watery grave, not one survivor. The Devil’s Lake Monster was a ferocious Nakota Sioux legend, believed to be the devil himself. The Devil’s Lake Monster was a creature believed by the Nakota Sioux indians to be the the prince of evil, in the flesh. It’s first appearance was reported by the Sioux indians, in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The legend was that the great american indian chief and all his greatest men set out to slay the great creature to save their great people. The village gatherers as well as the warriors left to guard their dear town all watched the boat take off on it’s vital expedition to kill their great enemy. After a small while, the overseers went back to their homes, resorting back to their business.
Soon, as the great warriors approached the middle of the lake, something rose from the water. The canoe was then crushed to splinters, and every man in the boat sank into the black, murky water to a gruesome death. There were no survivors, but the screams of the so-called heroes attracted the attention of the rest of the great settlement, only to witness the event. They then told the whites of the story when they came to settle. The same tribe of natives then witnessed yet another mysterious phenomenon not long after. This was in a time of drought, many people were ill, starving, dying, or dead. The animals had perished, they were unable to fish, and the workers were to weak to build any new equipment.
Eventually, a group of village people decided to walk to the lake to scavenge any forgotten resources. The people were surprised at what they saw, for they did not find any deer, fish or herbs. The only thing they happened to find was some fallen trees, barricading a small lagoon. Under the trees was a beast described as to have a small head, long neck and wide body, somewhat similar to the Loch Ness Monster. The frightened indians then retreated back to the village, hoping, praying that the monster did not catch sight of them, for fear that it may have put a curse upon their heads. When they went back to their people, they told their tribe of this beast, this monster, this abomination. Not even the greatest warrior would dare to help the creature for fear that it would cast a horrible spell even worse than the drought.

For several days the creature sat, waiting for it’s release. After many days, the village people decided to visit the creature. Instead, they watched from the top a hill as the beast flopped and struggled, causing the whole lagoon to foam, and turn white. Finally, the creature freed itself from its prison, and disappear into the black, deathly waves. More monsters seem to haunt this hellish lake. Campers and tourists tell of giant, ape-like creatures, covered in hair, similar to the legendary sasquatch; the creatures are said to walk the lake at night, putting out campfires and causing all sorts of chaos. Other legends tell of ghostly mammoths and elephants, that haunt the entire county of Baraboo. They are said to bathe in the lake when no one seems to be watching. The elephants are said to walk the town when everyone has fallen aslumber. This all started when the Ringling bros. bought a summer home in Baraboo, and opened a small circus. They soon left the lake, when the elephants seemed to die.
Since then, ghostly elephant- like creatures seem to appear all over Baraboo. Another creature, more similar to the kelpie monster, seemed to have also appeared at the Devil’s Lake. Three women( C.F. Craig, Edgar Larue, and Carr Cleveland) had been taking a stroll along the lake, when they heard a splashing sound. They then looked out onto the lake, and saw what looked like a serpent thrashing and lashing about in the water towards the middle of the lake, turning the the it white.
The devil’s lake monster, often called the M’de Wakan by the great Nakota Sioux, meaning bad spirit or mystery, was an evil monster that seemed to haunt Devil’s Lake. I definitely believe there was something monstrous that lived in the lake, though I doubt if it’s a freshwater octopus or kelpie.
