Turkey - Pictures of Lake Monster

(10 Jun 1997) T/I: 10:23:34 GS 10:23:49
Sightings of the Lake Van monster were first reported about two years ago but further evidence was offered on Tuesday (10/6) with bad quality amateur pictures showed something long and dark moving at a distance in the middle of the Lake. After each sighting professional camera crews rented boats to try to capture the alleged beast clearly on film, but were unsuccessful each time.
