The Peninsula Python straddles the line between reality and tall tale. In the summer of 1944 residents of Peninsula, OH started catching sight of a truly gigantic new resident - a nearly 20 foot python. Henhouses were raided, cornfields were trampled, and, most shockingly, giant tracks the size of truck tires were found in its wake. The snake was never found, but eye witnesses swore to its legitimacy.

Fishermen weren't the first or last - folks to report a mysterious monster. In 1817, two brothers found a scaly, 30-foot critter on a beach near Toledo; in 1892, sailors on a westbound ship saw a gigantic serpent with "viciously sparkling" eyes on Lake Erie; and during 1990, several people sighted a snake-like being with multiple humps swimming off Cedar point.
