Does Lancashire have a lake monster?

[Neal]

Forget Loch Ness...Lancashire may have its own lake monster lurking in the deep.

Claims of a larger-than-life creature living in the 17-acre RSPB Martin Mere near Southport have been circulating for five years.

Several reports from the public suggested that a blood-thirsty monster was circling beneath the still water, ready to pounce on unsuspecting wildlife.

A team from the Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) conducted some investigations and decided the mystery beast was 8ft long and 24st in weight.

Nah, that would have to be Morecambe Bay. I don't think there are any cockles in Martin Mere.

Someones let loose with a baby crocodile that grew too big for the tank and chucked it in the lake and now years later after feeding on fish, birds that land ...........

I watched a film in my younger years that scared the living daylights out of me that a baby alligator was flushed down the loo and it lived in the sewers and then there was an accident at a chemical works and this stuff got washed down the sewers and the alligator drank some of it and it grew and grew and grew . then turned into man eating alligator........ the film ended with someone flushing another croc/alligator down the loo.........

I got an over active imagination shoot me!!!
