If you think buffalo can only be seen on land, think again. Tianchi Lake or Heaven Lake is known to be home to several huge monsters that come in the form of buffalo. Located on top of Baekdu Mountain of the Baekdudaegan and Changbai mountain ranges that extend into China’s Jilin Province of China and North Korea’s Ryanggang Province; Tianchi Lake is recognized as the largest crater lake and the deepest mountain lake in all of China.

The Tianchi Lake Monster was reported to have been seen for the first time in 1903. According to the eyewitness report, the beast was a very large monster that had physical characteristics that resembled those of a buffalo. He tried to attack three people but when they shot him, he immediately went back into the water. Almost sixty years after the first sighting, more than a hundred people have reported witnessing the sighting of two buffalo-like creatures chasing each other in the water.

In 2005, The China Daily published an article saying that a tourist in Jilin province claimed to have seen the Tianch Lake Monster. The tourist, Zheng Changchun, stated that he was watching the waters when suddenly he saw a strange black object emerging from the waters. Zheng then obtained the videotape from him and recorded the sighting. In the video, a black creature can be seen emerging from and diving into the lake three times.

Last year, a TV reporter in China, Zhuo Yongsheng, said he had videotaped his sighting of six unidentified creatures in Tianchi Lake on September 6. According to Zhuo, the creatures resembled seals with large flippers or wings that were much larger than their bodies. . He said that the creatures were swimming and playing around the lake that morning. He added that the creatures swam “as fast as yachts.” Zhuo also observed that the creatures moved in sync, “as if someone was giving orders.”

Zhuo sent his still photos to the Jilin Provincial Office, and news reports about the sighting and images came out. According to footage from news reports, the six creatures were shown swimming in pairs, in a parallel lane. Another photograph showed the Tianchi Lake monsters closer together as they left circular ripples in the water.

In addition to the aforementioned sightings, there have been more than thirty reports of the monster being observed by tourists in the waters of Tianchi Lake over the past twenty years.
