Kisah dan tradisi
North Shore Monster, juga disebut "Old Briney", konon menghuni Great Salt Lake di Utah dan paling sering digambarkan bertubuh mirip buaya dan berkepala kuda. Penampakan paling terkenal terjadi pada 8 Juli 1877 oleh J.H. McNeil dan pekerja tambang garam, yang memperkirakan panjangnya sekitar 75 kaki. Deseret News meragukan laporan itu. Menurut kisah yang dicatat Deseret News, McNeil dan beberapa pria lain yang bekerja di tambang garam Barnes and Company dekat Monument Point mendengar raungan yang menakutkan pada awal Juli 1877. Mereka kemudian melihat makhluk bertubuh mirip buaya dan berkepala kuda yang menyerbu ke arah mereka, sehingga mereka lari ke pegunungan. Menurut catatan lain, batu-batu besar yang terbalik menandai jejaknya. McNeil menandatangani afidavit atas kisah itu, dan beritanya dimuat di Corinne Record serta kemudian di Deseret News. Sebagian orang percaya monster itu mungkin seekor kerbau.
The North Shore Monster, or "Old Briney", reportedly inhabits the Great Salt Lake in Utah and is most often described with a crocodile-like body and a horse's head. The best-known sighting was on July 8, 1877, by J.H. McNeil and saltworks workers, who estimated it at about 75 feet. The Deseret News was sceptical. According to the story recorded by the Deseret News, McNeil and several other men working at the Barnes and Company saltworks near Monument Point heard a frightful bellow in early July 1877. They then saw a creature with a crocodile-like body and a horse's head that charged toward them, and they fled to the mountains. According to another account, huge overturned boulders marked its trail. McNeil signed an affidavit of the account, and the story appeared in the Corinne Record and later in the Deseret News. Some believe the monster may have been a buffalo.
