A group of filmmakers claim to have successfully captured Swedens legendary Great Lake Sea Monster (Storsjöodjuret), which is said to lurk in the waters of the Storsjön outside Östersund in northern Sweden.
A film crew which set up cameras on one of the lakes islets last spring now say that they have an image of the seamonster, according to Svergies Television.
The film clip shows a blurry, long and narrow silhouette moving in the lakes depths.
It clearly shows that its warm and is made up of cells, otherwise our cameras wouldnt indicate red, so it can be a sea snake or some other kind of sea animal, said a female member of the film crew to Sveriges Television news in Jämtland.
The effort to find the monster has generated a great deal of interest, with the American television network NBC planning to document the hunt.
Next summer, the number of special cameras placed in the lake will increase to thirty.
This isnt the first time that crews have hunted for the Great Lake Sea Monster.
Back in 1894, a Swedish sea captain named Dedering created a stock company with the express purpose of catching the renowned beast.
The hunt, which was also sponsored in part by King Oscar II, even featured whale harpooners.
In 1986, Jämtlands county administrative board banned anyone from killing, injuring, or trapping a live animal such as the Great Lake Sea Monster or from removing or injuring the Great Lake Sea Monsters eggs, roe, or dwelling.
DAMN IT did you have to do that so soon after breakfast.
Swedish nessie ping.
I’d never heard of a Swedish nessie, just Loch Ness and Champy.
Oh whoa! Here I am all into this supernatural/?extinct monster story and I roll down and see that!
Really cracked me up.
But, boy isn’t this an interesting story?
Nessie, Champy, and now - Fjordy?
“Back in 1894, a Swedish sea captain named Dedering created a stock company with the express purpose of catching the renowned beast....

Sigh.
What a difference a hundred years of feminization and liberalism makes of a country.
Nowadays if Grendel were to appear on the scene in Denmark, the Eurofag socialists would fall all over themselves trying to figure out a way to get him into the welfare office or into therapy.
What, no blurry pictures of the critter in a freezer?
Could it be a albino moose??
A Storsjöodjuret once bit my sister’s Møøse . . .
No realli!
In British Colombia supposedly there’s a lake monster in Lake Okonogan (?) I watched a documentary about it on The Discovery Channel several times.
Yes, the Ogopogo is in Lake Okanagan.
And the touristy travel brochures from the area never fail to mention that.
Elephant trunk?
