Summary
In Episode 403 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger boat out near Shelburne Point on Lake Champlain in South Burlington, Vermont, to search for an ancient creature the Abenaki people called Odziozo, who was said to have created the lake, nearby hills, and river. Champ isn't the only mysterious creature to dwell in this massive lake. The difference is there have been far more Odziozo sightings than Champ.

| 0:32.8 | for today? So, Ray, we've come to the Vermont side of Lake Champlain, searching for a different Lake Monster. Not Champ. Not Champ. Okay.
