Melvin Mosley+FollowSilver Lake’s sea serpent: Truth behind the legendTurns out, the famous Silver Lake Sea Serpent that’s become a quirky part of Perry, NY’s identity was actually a clever 1855 marketing stunt! A struggling hotel owner built the monster out of wire and canvas to attract visitors, and it worked—people flocked to the lake, eager for a glimpse. Even after the hoax was revealed, the legend stuck around. Now, you’ll spot sea serpent symbols all over town. It’s wild how a little local mischief can shape a community’s culture for generations. What other local legends do you think started as pranks? #Science #SilverLake #LocalLegends00Share
kelseynorris+FollowLost husky spotted at Silver Lake Dog Park I was walking my dog near Silver Lake Dog Park when I spotted a lively husky all alone. He’s super friendly, knows commands like sit, down, stay, and even shake hands – and he can open doors! 😂 He looks pretty young, too. I waited with him for about 30 minutes, hoping someone would come by to claim him, but no luck. I ended up calling the police, and they took him to the station. They scanned for a chip but didn’t find one, and he wasn’t wearing a collar or tag. I really hope his owner sees this and gets him back soon! 🙏 #LostDog #DogRescue#SilverLake2520Share
