STOCKHOLM (AFP) - Sweden's own version of the Loch Ness monster, the Storsjoe or Great Lake monster, has been caught on film by surveillance videos, an association that installed the cameras said Friday.

The legend of the Swedish beast has swirled for nearly four centuries, with some 200 sightings reported in the lake in central Sweden.

"On Thursday at 12:21 pm, we filmed the movements of a live being. And it was not a pike, nor a perch, we're sure of that," Gunnar Nilsson.

The website linked in the article is in Swedish, but it's still easy to navigate: www.storsjoodjuret.nu...

The image at the bottom of the site shows what the security camera picked up. The video on top of the image is completely different.

English version

I didn't know about this "great lake monster" as they call it, but first sightings was in the 15 century, and more than 500 people have witnessed it since...

It is hard to say how big that thing is on the picture, but still exciting news

Agree, its very similar to the pic below. Fish up close to the camera looks like a giant monster to a viewer unless they check carefully. I could tell it was a fish, but not what type.

If you go to the english version of the website (the flag is in the top right corner), right above the video, it says:

Snake 2008-08-26

So, they at least had that one figured out!

As for the other picture, at least they know where the big fish are now when they go fishing!

Did you all see the same thing I saw?


This video may be a snake or something else, but it hardly looks like a lake trout!
