The residents of Benyok, 250 miles (400km) north-west of Moscow, claim that a huge aquatic beast, 'Brosnie', lurks at the bottom of Lake Brosno. There have been numerous sightings, and tourists camping near the lake took a photograph after their seven-year-old son shouted that he had seen a dragon monster. Caravan-1, a newspaper in Tver, the nearest big town, published the picture – a panoramic view of the lake with an indistinct object floating in the foreground – and the story has since flourished in the Russian media. "It was big like this," said a resident, identified as Tanya, as she sketched a snake-like head rising from the water with a large eye on its side. Tourists flock to the lake in hope of catching sight of the serpentine creature, variously estimated to be 13–16ft (4–5m) long. Local people say that there are written reports of monster sightings at Brosno dating back to 1854 and the legend might be even older. Zoologists, however, dismiss the photograph as a log and Brosnie as a fairy tale.
anyone know anymore about this creature?
