Every spring, Laura Baker looked forward to hearing the chorus of frog mating calls from the pond in her backyard, but this year there was nothing but silence.
From her bedroom window, Laura looked out at the pond and noticed something dark and powerful ripple through the water. It was this unknown creature that silenced the frogs.
In the morning, Laura looked over her fishing gear and selected a strong salmon pole with fifty-pound line. Using raw steak for bait, she sat on a log at the edge of the pond and cast her line into the water.
Without warning, something hit the bait like a piledriver, and she struggled to hold onto the pole. For at least an hour, Laura fought the pull of the dark creature, but with one mighty effort she pulled the thing onto the shore.
The hideous beast lunged at Laura snapping its jaws and she was forced to hit it with a hammer. With the intruder gone, the pond gradually returned to normal, and the croaking frogs could be heard for miles around.
