Devils Lake was once known as Indian Bay until it was inhabited by an evil spirit. Siletz Indian warriors were sometimes mysteriously lost in the lake. One one occasion, Chief Fleetfoot sent his warriors across the waters. Suddenly in the moon path of the still evening waters of the lake gigantic tenacles wrapped themselves around the canoes. The terrified Indian warriors, shouting warnings, were pulled beneath the surface never to be seen again. It is believed that if a boat crosses the moon's reflection in the middle of Devils Lake a strange chill of fear will be felt by the occupants of the boat.
