Big Bowman

Big Bowman Pond is known to locals as the home of Big Bowman (also known as "Bowie"), a large, aquatic cryptid. Though its description varies from one account to the next, Big Bowman is generally described as being similar in appearance to the Bunyip, a mythical creature from Australian Aboriginal mythology. Rumors of the existence of Big Bowman began to circulate the greater Albany area in the late 1800s after a young boy went missing while swimming in the lake.[3]

gollark: I actually went back to school for the first time in a while today, although we didn't do actual lessons.
gollark: It's a good book, except we read it so very slowly and over-detailed-ly.
gollark: I read that in school last year. It was very æææææ, like reading anything in school is.
