rashore Posted August 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Lagarfljótsormurinn, the giant serpent rumored to inhabit the lake Lagarfljót near Egilsstaðir in East Iceland truly exists, as announced on Saturday by the majority of a 13-person truth commission established in 2012 by the Fljótsdalshérað municipal council. http://icelandreview.com/news/2014/08/25/truth-commission-lake-monster-does-exist I thought it interesting that the guy got a heap of money for putting up the video and creating more tourism. Not all too sure if I believe the lake monster exists though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingitsune Posted August 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well, it's obviously mechanic, seeing how the thing move. The Video is ligit as there is not special effects added afterwards, but there is definitely some mecanical prop being used here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakari Posted August 31, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Video discussed years ago on here. Debris stuck in the current. It is not moving upstream, it is idle, the current is moving it. I believe a fishing net was the answer from another site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted August 31, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This is the one people said looked like a snake swimming in near freezing water. I agree that it does not appear to be moving, just sweeping back and forth by the current. The illusion of movement is due to the various debris floating by the thing, but if you look at the tree branches it is easy to see the "head" is stationary.

DeWitz Posted August 31, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This beast exists in just the same way that faeries, trolls and elves live--according to ancient Icelandic lore still ascribed to by many Islanders. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of necroposting, I figured the new topic about the guy being awarded was more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
