Is the Loch Ness Monster real? I’m not a believer, but every year many people claim to see the monster known as “English Nessie”.
Mr. Pickles claims to have seen an animal the size of three cars speed past him on the lake. He watched it for 20 seconds or so. “It was petrifying and we paddled back to the shore straight away. At first I thought it was a dog and then saw it was much bigger and moving really quickly at about 10mph. Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast. Its skin was like a seal’s but it’s shape was completely abnormal – it’s not like any animal I’ve ever seen before.”
This is the eighth sighting of a long humpbacked creature in the past five years. It’s known by locals as “Bownessie”.
The recent photo taken by Mr Pickles matches the description of an earlier sighting by journalism lecturer Steve Burnip. Mr. Burnip says of the picture: “I know what I saw and it shocked me, it had three humps and it’s uncanny the likeness between this and what I saw five years ago.”
Could something that big really exist in the 11 mile long lake? Sceptics don’t think so.
Dr Ian Winfield, a lake ecologist at the University of Lancaster, said: “It’s possible that it’s a catfish from Eastern Europe and people are misjudging the size but there is no known fish as large as the descriptions we’re hearing that could be living in Windermere.
So what do you think? Are you a Loch Ness Monster or English Nessie believer or skeptic?
