Are lake-monster claims just silly ness?
Everyone’s heard of the Lock Ness Monster (pictured), but any young drivers up for a road trip and an adventure might want to check out England’s newest unidentified creature – Bownessie.
Spotted by a 24-year-old IT employee, on a team-building exercise with work colleagues on Lake Windermere in the Lake District, the so-called “monster” caught on camera-phone (it’s never a powerful camera is it) is being hailed as the English Nessie – and the photo is the clearest yet…apparently.The encounter sounds pretty scary, the young man describing an animal the length of three cars swimming past him “really quickly at about 10mph,” each hump “moving in a rippling motion”.
This is reportedly the eighth sighting in the past five years, but sceptics don’t believe that an animal so large could survive in a lake of only 11 miles in length.
“We run echo sounding surveys every month and have never found anything,” said a University of Lancaster lake ecologist.
Is there an undiscovered monster in the Lake District? The mystery deepens…
