Seljord serpent filmed?
Sunday, August 22, 2004
Swedish monster hunter Jan-Ove Sundberg believes he may have crowned several years of searching for Norway's legendary serpent in Lake Seljord by catching the beast on film, newspaper Varden reports. Sundberg is studying a 20-second clip before releasing it publicly.
The Swede got the exciting footage on the final day of this year's expedition to the lake in Telemark. At first, Sundberg thought he saw a buoy in the water but was surprised when he focused more closely on the object.
"I have either filmed a gnarled head or the upper part of a hump complete with serrations," Sundberg told newspaper Varden.
"The others didn't get a chance to see what I saw because suddenly it was gone. So it couldn't have been a buoy. Ducks can dive but they come back up. This didn't, so I don't understand what it could have been except for the sea serpent," Sundberg said.
Sundberg has interviewed locals to get an impression of what they believe the lake serpent, affectionately known as "Selma", is supposed to look like. Sundberg films rocks, branches and other objects in the water in order to identify possible misidentifications.
