Seriously? Hoax at Raystown Lake

I've lived in Bedford County (Raystown County back in the day) all my life. I remember the picture and story first covered on the Broad Top Bulletin. The picture is pretty clearly of a log. Yes, I said it, it is a hoax, it is a log.

For as long as Raystown lake and resort has been around, you would think that someone would've said something about Raystown Ray before the year 2000, but I don't believe anyone has. Please, let's be serious...this Syfy show won't be seen by too many people outside of the central region of PA. I think it's a horrible idea except for possibly a slight increase in tourism. I would rather see a documentary of Raystown Resort and Lake, than "Raystown Ray."
