Scotland, for some time, has its urban legend securely entrenched with the Loch Ness 'Nessie'. Champ is said to live in Lake Champlain, and our nearby Chesapeake Bay has Chessie. But back up in the hidden, difficult to get to, fingers, coves of Lake Matoaka in the W&M Woods, some say that an unusual creature holds residence. The only time, however, that 'Poca' has ever been seen or heard is very late, after midnight, on a full moon night. A long, narrow undulating form, with its head slightly out of the dark water, is said to move from cove to cove, rarely ever going straight across the Lake. Frogs cease their deep croaking courting sounds in the spring. Canada geese and ducks, at times, will hurriedly leave the shelter of the Lake and not return until safer daylight hours the next morning. No sightings or sounds have taken place during the day. And no pics. Is there a 'Poca' in Williamsburg? Tales, urban legends, abound out and about Virginia and our Tidewater. Most feel that they are just that, a tale.
This author and sociologist feels strongly that there is, farther out West, a Sasquatch...BIGFOOT!...maybe even BIGFOOT families or BIGfeet! By the way, Big Foot is a native American term meaning "wild man"... Betcha don't know what the TWO terms from the Himalayan Mountains are? Well?
