From the shore, dad determined the monsters were river otters and thought the kids were just surprised. But the two boys began swimming wildly towards land. And the otters chased after them.

"So we had to swim back about 70 yards, back to our camp, and they just kept getting at our legs and our feet," Chris explained. He said they swam as fast as they could to get away.
"There was one that kept attacking us no matter what we did," he noted.
Chris recalls an otter coming up out of the water over 10 times trying to bite him.
"I just remember looking back at it and seeing it's teeth," Chris stated [...]
"Every time it would go under I knew it was about to attack and it was just so terrible it's just the scariest thing in my life I've ever been through," he said.
The boys had no chance of winning against otters. Otters propel through the water with powerful tail and body movements, can swim up to 7 mph and remain submerged for 4 to 8 minutes. They weigh 11 to 30 pounds and are 3 to 4 feet long, with about one-third of that length their tail.

Fortunately, the otter gang wasn’t serious about attacking the boys or their injuries would have been worse. The kids were frightened, had minor cuts on their lower legs, and were given rabies shots at the hospital just in case, and stuff.
"They gave us Otter Pops," Chris said while laughing. "They printed out these pictures of just otters and stuff and was like which one was it and there was otters with guns and stuff it was just really funny."
Chris explained while it was scary it is also funny because it's strange.
He mentioned he does not plan on going swimming in that area anytime soon.
No one mentioned the Lemurians publicly. But then, how could you know what plans higher dimensional interstellar beings have, how they might coordinate with river otters, and whether or not they are listening to what you say? Mount Shasta is mysterious, magical and keeps secrets.

What’s happening for you? Mysteries? Monsters?
