This phenomenon has been reported from both sides of Lake Erie for over 100 years, so it's strange that there aren't any photos commonly availabe.
The exact words you quote in your question are repeated endlessly on Google websites, which makes me think that it's been a news agency release picked up by a great many newspapers as a 'human interest' type story. That doesn't demean the story in any way, but it's still a pity there's no accompanying photo.
(There's a similar effect reported by pilots in northern Canada and Greenland, where they claim to have seen mountains that they knew were over 100 miles away. Scientists, who of course know best about what people have seen and haven't seen, have dismissed this).
