This piece about North American lake monsters by Ivan T. Sanderson spends a good amount of space on the Loch Ness Monster and Tim Dinsdale, for purposes of context and word count.
Otherwise, Sanderson plucks out some interesting midcentury monster sightings such as the Black River Monster of Lyons Falls, NY (nicknamed Lyonesse, natch), and the (relatively) giant lizard/frog/whatsit of New Hamburg, Ontario, estimated at 50 pounds of unknown ferocity. Big shots like Champ and the Lake Iliamna Monster round out the roster.
Dig the ads for a genuine imported switch blade and a PI badge right next to each other ... if the cops want to hassle you about your pocket knife, just flash your badge at 'em!
