The Moaning Man of Lake De Smet

You are here Home  > Miscellaneous >  The Moaning Man of Lake De Smet

According to the Crow tribesmen who live in the area, the lake has long been haunted by a moaning ghost. However, the Moaning Man has been seen by many, not just Native Americans. Nearby residents say animals are spooked by the place as well. The Moaning Man is said to be a monster-spirit who rises from the lake, moaning, in search of his next victim. Needless to say, the Crow avoid this area.
