Officials weigh in on Iceland lake monster [Video]
A government 'truth commission' has declared that a lake monster in Iceland is a real creature.
The decision was based on a viral video from 2012 which many believe shows evidence of a long serpent-like creature said to inhabit Iceland's Lake Lagarfljót.
A long-running legend in a country that is steeped in folklore, the beast known as Lagarfljótsormurinn was said to have entered the lake when a girl, who had been instructed to catch a snake and use it to guard a gold ring in her linen chest, instead threw the chest in to the lake when the snake had grown too large.
Despite widespread skepticism about the video, a majority of the panel of 13 reached the baffling conclusion that the footage is authentic and that Lagarfljótsormurinn is in fact a real creature.
