Legacy
Dewey Lake Monster
“It was one of the strangest times in 33 years of southwestern Michigan law enforcement. We investigated it long and hard, but were never able to come up with whatever it was. But some good, honest, legitimate people reported it.”

The Sculpture
The Sculpture
4' x 10' Bronze
Build it and they will come. (Or will they recoil in terror?)
The proposed 10' tall bronze sculpture would is based on the cumulative descriptions of 30+ persons over 50 years.
This is one in a series of five statues proposed for the area, which would be placed at strategic locales throughout the Dewey Lake Corridor in homage to it's most famous resident.
One sculpture at the tree line across an open field. Another in woods. Another secured in the actual water just off-shore in Dewey Lake. A fourth near one of the Dowagiac city limits.
And the last one at the point of the most famous sighting -- the one that gave the monster its name.
In comparative analysis it is expected this sculpture (1/5) would create a considerable increase in tourism in the area. It is expected that a wide range of people would come in from the surrounding area e.g. Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Detroit, Grand Rapids, etc. as a recreational day trip wherein the snap pictures with the thing.
See Loch Ness, Stonehenge, Roswell, Jolly Green Giant, etc.

The Painting
The Thriftstore Painting
The Thriftstore Painting
In 1983 Sam DeNisi found a painting at a Niles area thrift-store.
DeNisi would often times search Goodwill and Salvation Army stores for interesting items. So when he came across this painting he liked it.
The painting was buried under a bunch of random frames and tossed among other canvases. But when he saw what was written on it -- he knew he had to have it.
It was dated "1964" and written along the bottom of the canvas were the words "Dewey Lake Monster."
On the back, along the wooden frame, was written the words "It lives in Sister Lakes Michigan" and "I saw the devil."
