A search by a team of monster hunters failed to find any trace of a mysterious creature said to have inhabited Sweden’s Great Lake for at least 360 years.
A fleet of 15 vessels with researchers and six divers set off from Ostersund in central Sweden, equipped with an underwater video camera and echo equipment, hoping to solve the centuries-old mystery.
Project spokesman Anders Brattgra said the search, the most extensive of the Great Lake, failed to find the infamous monster, which is rumored to resemble either a horse or a snakelike creature. (Yes, we often get the two confused as well.) Researchers, however, have not yet given up hope.
“We didn’t find a lake monster. The Great Lake is certainly no Jurassic Park,” Brattgra said.
“But a lot of people have seen something in the lake, and they are not fools. They have seen something that they cannot explain, so the mystery remains. We have decided we may do something again next year.”
