Reports are pouring out of China of a Loch Ness monster sighting. Chinese journalist Zhuo Yongsheng has caught a “pack” of “Nessies” on videotape, swimming in Tianchi lake in the northeast of the country. The deep, cold volcanic lake was believed to be inhospitable to life, but the twenty-minute tape proves otherwise.
“I went atop the southern slope of the mountain with two local guides at 5:05 a.m. hoping to shoot the sunrise,” he said. “I was not able to do that because it was cloudy.”
By 5:26 a.m. the sunglow had presented a clear view of the Tianchi Lake at the foot of the mountain. “Du Baiqing, one of the guides, suddenly pointed to the lake, yelling in amazement that a stone had emerged from nowhere”, Zhuo told Xinhua.
Zhuo said he had seen the six seal-like, finned creatures swimming and frolicking in the lake for an hour and a half, before they were out of sight at 7:00 a.m. He kept shooting on and off, fearing he might run out of tape and miss the most exciting moment.
“They could swim as fast as yachts and at times they would all disappear in the water. It was impressive to see them all acting at exactly the same pace, as if someone was giving orders,” he said. “Their fins — or maybe wings — were longer than their bodies.”
Zhuo said he didn’t use to believe any lake monster legend. “But I believed my own eyes.”
Rumors that the 373-meter-deep volcanic lake harbors some sort of monster have been circulating for more than a century.

Kanasi lake, China’s deepest alpine lake in northwestern Xinjiang region, reputedly has mysterious creatures that devour livestock live.

You’ve seen our report on Tahoe Tessie. Could it be that the same sort of creature has colonized these deep, cold, “inhospitable” lakes throughout the world? Have they reached some sort of critical mass either in number or in sheer size of the animal, perhaps due to climate change? The mystery runs as deep as the cold, dark waters.

Jesse, I hear you. This website’s no joke. Not sure if you’re talking about cryptozoology or exobiology here, but there are plenty of things that aren’t what they seem.
