This story is told in Churubusco, Indiana (US). The Legend started in 1898, when a local Farmer claimed that he saw a gigantic Turtle-like creature on his property. The beast was said to well over 150 feet tall. It's shell was resemble a giant dirt mound (with a tree growing in it, bu his account). He speculated that the Turtle , could burrow down into the ground (safely) and camouflage itself with this tactic . In 1948, 2 men reported to have seen the same type creature swimming in a local Lake. The story made The National Wire Service and soon hundreds of the curious flocked to Indiana to see The Busco Monster. It got so bad that The State Police and National Guard were dispatched. In an odd twist, a photographer from LOOK Magazine took 200 photos of the area (some that were deemed interesting ). For some reason, they were NEVER published and have since vanished . The Beast was not seen again (although the story is still actively told).
