In England, an eyewitness managed to take a photo of a mysterious water monster. Judging by the description, the creature is a close relative of the famous Loch Ness monster.
A resident of the city of Loughborough (Leicestershire, UK) said that he was walking with his dog along the shores of Lake Charnwood Water when he noticed a very active movement on the water that attracted his attention. Turning in that direction, the young man watched how something very large (in his estimation, at least 1-1.5 meters in length) and serpentine literally sucked a duck floating on the surface of the lake under the water. The eyewitness was not at a loss and managed to get a mobile phone to take a photo of the monster. He later uploaded the blur to the Spotted: Loughborough website and asked users, "Any idea what this might be?"
“I was just walking my dog near Charnwood Water and noticed a duck floundering in the water,” the young man said. "All of a sudden, the duck was pulled under the water by something large, at least 4 feet (~ 1.2 meters) long as far as I could see, and resembling a snake."
Internet users briskly started discussing the picture. Some immediately advised dog owners to keep their pets out of the water, others suggested that it could be a large pike, and still others offered to go fishing and find out what kind of animal it was.
Recall, according to legend, a huge snake-like creature lives in the deep waters of the Scottish Loch Ness. The first written reports about it date back to the 4th century AD, but the Loch Ness monster reached its peak of popularity in the 20th century. At the end of the last and the beginning of this century, even several scientific expeditions were organized to study the lake, but scientists did not manage to get reliable evidence of the presence of a prehistoric monster in it.
