Raystown Ray (American Folklore)

Some believe that this lake is home to a Loch Ness Monster-like creature – ‘Raystown Ray’. There are stories of boaters seeing large, dark objects just below the water’s surface, and some even claim to have seen a head and long neck emerge from the water. Whatever it might be, the locals believe that Ray is somewhat shy and likely to be a vegetarian.

The first recorded sighting of Ray actually occurred in 1962 at Old Raystown Dam, according to the Huntingdon County Visitors Bureau. In 1971, the dam was destroyed to create the 8,300-acre man-made Raystown Lake, which is as deep as 185 feet in some places.
