Nessie is not the only monster hiding in big lakes on the planet

The computer-aided dinosaurs used in Steven Spielberg’s movie brought to life the mythological monsters. Information may be true or false. Information may become a “material force” capable of exerting influence on the world when the public are regularly fed with all sorts of information via the press and TV.

“We’re talking about a great sensation! The international scientific expedition has finally caught Loch Ness monster in Scotland,” reported U.S. magazine News recently… As far as we are concerned, we are confident that the legendary “monster” has “swum” to the pages of the magazine from the movie Jurassic Park.

Our experts put forth the following theory as the movie just started grossing millions of dollars in rentals all over the world: “Steven Spielberg’s computer-aided dinosaurs will bring to life other mythological monsters.” The experts proved to be right. Soon the reports began pouring out.

The residents of the village of Campo in Puerto Rico claim a flying dragon visits the place on a regular basis. According to the eyewitnesses – a police officer and a priest – the monster looks like a green kangaroo, it has a hard shell and red eyes shining in the dark. The monster was dubbed Chupacabras. It is reported to have appeared after dark to snap at the dogs and bite their heads off. The monster also reportedly attacked sheep and cows by tearing their throats open to suck on the jugular.

The monster of the Lake of Hanas in China came to light again lately.

There has been no news about the monster since 1985 when some students of the University of Shijiazhuang first noticed a strange big animal moving along the surface of the lake. No other reports on the mysterious monster have come over the last ten years. These days the locals are again spreading rumors about the bloodthirsty monster which is alleged to drag poultry and livestock under the water “to pick a mouthful.” Just recently a dozen eyewitnesses saw a weird creature pop up on the surface in broad daylight.

The legendary monster in Lake Sturs, Sweden, came to life too.

The first reports of the monster lizard were published by local newspapers at the turn of the century. The newspapers said that an unknown species was seen crawling out of water and onto the shore. The monster was reported to have chased the locals around the beach. The residents of a nearby village set a trap for the monster after it scared to death two little girls. Yet the monster never fell into the trap. All the bloodcurdling gossip gradually died away. But more strange tracks were discovered on the beach lately. A number of other reports about the monster followed.

By and large, Loch Ness monster, otherwise known as Nessie, has been above par.

The reports on similar creatures seen in other countries were either a variety of speculations or unconvincing eyewitness accounts. On the contrary, the previously elusive Loch Ness monster has not only exposed itself to photographers who took pictures of it from different angles, it also got into the net for further research, according to the above magazine.

“The latest expedition to Lake Loch Ness was organized by the French Doctor of Zoology Michael Jennet in collaboration with several scientists from Italy, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Norway, United States and Ukraine. The expedition was a success.

The 52-meter-long steel net was lowered into the lake. The scientists used tuna as a bait to trap the creature. There were no developments for several weeks after the net was unfolded. Then something big made a hole in the net. The scientists repaired the net and modified it by reinforcing the structure. So the net was strong enough to hold the quarry when it finally got trapped the last time,” says the article in News magazine.

“Right now it’s too early to name or classify the monster,” said Dr. Jennet, in an interview to the above magazine. “I believe what we’ve caught is the last dinosaur on Earth. Our divers already made friends with it. They pat it on the head while feeding it some tuna,” said Dr. Jennet.

However, following the release of Jurassic Park and its sequels, the public and scientific community can appreciate that today’s computer technologies can create most incredible mock-ups, and therefore the photographs alone are no longer considered as solid evidence. Unfortunately, the photographic images were the only material evidence pertaining to the latest Loch Ness sensation. We tried to find more information by getting in touch with several cryptozoologists in Russia and Ukraine. They heard nothing about Jennet’s expedition. On the whole, all of them took a rather cautious stance on the issue: “Let’s wait and see.”

It would not be an exaggeration to maintain that scientists still have a lot to learn about the fauna of the world’s seas and oceans. Discoveries reported from time to time indicate that the traditional stories featuring giant sea monsters and octopuses may hold water. For example, the eyes of a large octopus, whose dead body was washed ashore on one of the islands in New Zealand, measured nearly 30 cm in diameter. Its sucker-bearing arms were 12 m long.
