Here's a video of a worm monster from a lake further up north.
ua-cam.com/video/CXRxhWKziq8/v-deo.html
This creature sounds a lot like the Cadborosaurus living in Cadboro Bay in British Columbia.
Can all these Serpentine monsters like Loch Ness, Morag etc. be related ? Of course all seem to be part of that long Earthquake fault line from Canada to Norway, prompting researchers to say that these creatures may very well be inhabiting the very bottom (Bed) of the Lakes which seem to be twice the avg. depth of the North Sea ! (In case of Loch Morar).
Agree the answer too lake creatures mystery
This is a lot better than Monster Quest.
I love these documentaries, the way people are interviewed, some great views and a bit of history too!
Can you blame this lake monster? This place is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Although I am a skeptic - I have to add that people are 'wrong' when they say there's not enough food to support such a large monster.
In fact, this is just one of several documentaries which actually mentions a creature with which the monster could be confused - but completely overlooks it as a food source.
The moose swimming across this lake, the deer that swim across Loch Ness and other northern lakes that supposedly have these large beasts - 'that's' a potential food source. No, not a very regular source I admit - but who's to say these monsters 'need' to eat regularly? We don't know anything about this creature's metabolism (since no one has ever caught one and studied it, thus nothing can be known of its biology).
Snakes can go without food from 6 months to 2 years - and still have energy enough to move about. Spiders can live for several weeks to a year without food, yet still have the ability to spin webs. (In both cases, starvation times depend on species).
Metabolism can slow right down in the cold. A serpent that swims slowly now and again only to collect a swimming or foundering moose or deer (or even the odd duck or goose) it can scent swimming in the water, these supplemented by an occasional fish and eel may be just enough to sustain it.
assuming that the creature is carnivorous :P
the largest animals are usually herbivores.
@@Amphitera sharks, crocodiles, alligators, lions and bears are herbivores?
@@jackd6148 try elephants and giraffes moose
Well, not all large animals are herbivores but the Blue Whale eats nothing but krill.
Lakes Monsters, Gnomes and
lots of books. Those folks have
a nice and interesting life. Actually
finding the creature might ruin
everything. By the way, I'm betting
that it is real. It is far better to live
in the universe of the possible
than the impossible.
I went to Seljord a couple of times back in the 90's. We lived at the caravan park and visited the beach. I remember swimming in the lake, that the water was very warm and the sand was very soft, which is unusual since most beaches are gravel and dirt. We stayed at the beach for hours. We made a BBQ and there was a small kiosk selling ice cream. I got a classic popsicle with pineapple flavor and chewing gum centre. The sausages we made had that classic charcoal taste. Some of the older kids got to do water skiing. You paid a local guy to go on the boat. They had no cares in the world and had so much fun despite splashing in somewhere in the middle of the lake. I wanted to go myself, but I wasn't old enough to try. We did a boat trip though, fishing without much luck. I remember looking out on the lake and the calm surface seemed pretty dead to me. I'm used to smaller lakes where you follow the wakes of the trout as it catches water insects in order to improve your odds of finding. We had no such luck in Seljord. We went to a shop and I found some souvenirs which depicted the alleged monster. I didn't get any, but I did get a weird comic which featured cowboys fighting dinosaurs, a comic I've never managed to track down despite some efforts. We deove along the lake as we were leaving, but at that point I was kinda sad the holiday were over and I envied those that could still go for a swim. Well, that was my story about visiting Seljord and what I saw.
Sounds like a very lovely memory 🙂
What people don't think about is that there could be giant bodies of water under the ground that they don't know about where creatures like these can exist and nobody would see the creatures because of it.
I was at a place like that when I saw something that looked similar to one of those heads at the end of a viking ship, but of course bigger.

This documentary keeps showing me pictures of monsters imitating waves.
And here we are, lapping it up.

No
Or large sea snakes

Yes. Or Sturgeons. Or Tree Trunks.
Paredoila!!!
A great slug or worm (orm) similar to Tullimonstrom.
I found your chanel last week,I am soo hook now,Thank You for this stories🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐
Definitely a beautiful land and the people seem to have a great way of life sea serpent or not
At this point, seeing the images and photos shown here on this video points to a very likely existence of a sizeable creature in the lake. It is anyone's guess at that point to try and guess what it might be. The mystery in itself is what drives one to imagine, sometimes there is great value in allowing ones imagination to create ideas. It is what being a kid was all about.... Mystery is a healthy thing to have, this town is very fortunate.
It all boils down to the old saying " For those who do not believe no explanation is possible, for those who do believe , no explanation is necessary" .
I want a body mate. Not words.
That Lake is creepy as hell 😱
Thank you, these cryptic animals are so fascinating hopefully soon we will clarify a few.
I have to say it seems this has more proof then the loch ness monster . I am i wrong ??
I guess you're not wrong. A smaller lake is easier to monitor. Most of the good sighting are forgotten at all places, but if one gets the books it is really something. I'll make an own post about some of it. Edit: It's penned under the profile of Leporidae.
Interesting, I'd love, for someone to get real photos of this creature or nessy, that would be so cool. The funny thing about these lake serpents is that if they are actual serpentine creatures, serpents / snakes don't swim up and down they all swim side to side through the water, the other funny thing about cryptids is that for them to be around for over 100 years there has to be a rather sizable population. So one of these days someone will definatly catch a good picture.
Hi Paul,
Check out this video, if you havent seen it yet. It's a different lake further up north. ua-cam.com/video/CXRxhWKziq8/v-deo.html
Name alone would make homer chuckle selma 😆 selma the lake monster homer be laughing lol
Running ,more likely 😄
Beautiful place!!
Nowegians are incredible. Their English is fantastic and they seem like lovely people.
Thank you, Mark. You should come here when you get the chance. We've got fantastic nature and terrible English waiting for you!
@@LudosErgoSum :O)
I'm personally fed up with the arrogance of scientists who think they know everything.
Just like the people of Norway, the lake animals feed in the summer, hibernate in the winter. Perhaps like the giant snakes in South America they only need to feed every 3 months or so?
I just hope these beautiful creatures can stay safe from the torturous instruments of science. It's no wonder they hide as much as possible!💛
No I believe the Old People!!!!!
Nobody mess with grandma.. hehe
It’s wind making the waves 🙄
The second lake serpent documentary I see from you and enjoy it.
The thing in the water is identical to ogopogo
Yup, my thoughts too after seeing the Ogo documentary. I've been investigating Selma for years, largely when I was much younger. I'll write some of my finds in a new post for more to see. Edit: It's penned under the profile of Leporidae.
Did you take a blood draw?
It seems to me that, it would be easy for the creature to move between the lakes of that area. There is the much larger lake norsjo just down river. Are there sightings in other lakeside towns, in that general area.
i live at norsjø but the river that connects them are to shallow
@@drdomentos3735 they can move on land,so a shallow river is like a freeway to them..they move at night
@@jquest43 the river goes through a city and different camps. and fks right now a large creature wont be able to get into norsjø because ice has formed in the bottom of the river and its also to shallow to go under.
@@jquest43 bro they cant get on land because the river is a trench
@@drdomentos3735 they can move on land,and pretty fast..they are very muscular
They are encountering submerged trees and limbs that are just under the surface of the water, getting snagged on the bottom, rolling, and shoving limbs up close to the surface. I'd love to believe in a monster, but this is just Occam's razor.
Could it be a giant eel that is very old?
if there is a large variety of ribbon eel, that could very well be. Those look and swim in exactly the fashion described for sea serpents. The only thing that differs is the head (which usually has a mane or looks dragon-like).
I'm surprised there are any hairyman sightings or legends in such a wylde place.
i have seen it
Me an my family is always at Seljord camping every summer! Lol I'm so sceard of that thing
Scandinavian women are gorgeous !!!
maybe they are migrating species . lay eggs in certain areas/ breed then go back out to sea.
Grandma washing one is easy. Just eels. Back then soaps had fat in it. The eels smelled that n came flying for food. When she hit them n they "split" it was just 2 eels that where side by side that got scared n ran.
What is that painting on the wall at 38.23?
Come again? Only watching two people talking in a wooden lookout post.
A gigantic eel
Well, I advise you, if Selma has teeth, do not go near.
There's no need for all this stupid commercials
Its about making money.
So is the monster
the evolutionist said its impossible, lol.
The world serpent
I thought it was called Yggdrasil!
no, Nidhogg.
@@Amphitera Yep, OK my mistake, Yggdrasil is the world tree. It's been a while since I last looked at Nordic mythology.
Or are there???
Why are a couple of them so determined to say there must be more than one, a family of them ? It is possible to have only one and it is possible it is several hundred years old .
Thats a river dragon for sure, they are not serpent but rather swim like a mammal, just like the Chinese dragon, serpentine
Does she have a twin sister named Patty?
I BELIEVE... where's mulder and Sculley got too.........
he clip at 5:30 is just wakes from a boat
I believe giant eels exist but have not been found by science because they burrow
If memory of my classical radio days serves me correctly, STIG is pronounced "shtee". Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Such attractive people these are, and they all speak perfect English!
I agree. A beautiful place with beautiful people, speaking excellent English. Lovely🥰🥰
Not at all. It is pronouced st-ee-G. Very clean with no H-shound and a hard, defined G at the end

Tss tss. No name calling!
Do i call you Chief Standing tree trunk who claims to have photographed baby Ogopogos + 1 coming out of the egg but didnt take at least ONE to proove it?? Duude!!!🙄 And dont like your own comments!! Have a good Day
I think it's possible that these cryptid sea serpents are actually oar fish or a un discovered or new species of it..
Oar fish are salt water, deep swimming fish, 3 to 5 thousand feet. They only come up to die. The lake is fresh water.
@@angelique7618 you are absolutely correct! Usually if you sea an oarfish at the surface, than get as far away from the shoreline as possible. If it hasnt died from natural causes then there is a good chance that there is a natural disaster coming ie an earthquake or a tsunami about to happen. Which many of the dead or dying oarfish have preceeded.
They also have sound recordings of The sea serphent.
Do 'they' really ?
Yes i remember i heard it. It was recorded by swedish research team called GUST. It was a crocodile type of sound.
@@CheHansaa /
Yeah global underwater search team. I think their site is down nowadays sadly...
Ragnarok is near
I think the Mayor *MIGHT* be a super villain.
Cadborasoris?
Cadborosaurus. No, thats in Canada
What a beautiful place. I wonder how long until the invaders change it forever.
Selma or Salmah?
The sea monster is named Selma:)
Might be a prehistoric ghost.
And I'm a deep freezer from Egypt who has come from afar to change the way people cook Cheerios..

Is this a true story or are they just trying to generate tourism like LOCH NESS ?
I'm pretty sure tourism has nothing to do with these sightings :D it's always these dying little towns, where people see these monsters. Still Norse mythology and the stories of Norse monsters are my life blood.
except that sightings were common centuries before tourism was a thing.
38:10 - кто кому тут будет сказки рассказывать ?
I’d put money on a giant sturgeon. Animals can have acromegaly so why not a 30-80ft sturgeon?
13:16
What?
If it's a dinosaur, it would move like a bird rather than like a fish or reptile.
Eh?! Tbere were sea dwelling dinos too you know? Crocs and sharks still exist. Fish still exist. They didn't ALL turn into seagulls!
@@teaspoonsofpeanutbutter6425 birds are dinosaurs. Fish and reptiles aren't.
To be more precise: birds are directly descended from dinosaurs called theropods, and still possess all the characteristics that define dinosaurs. Lizards and fish are the result of a lot more evolution; "dinosaur," aka, "terrible lizard," is a misnomer; dinosaurs did not resemble lizards.
There are no sea or ocean dinosaurs. If it developed in water it’s called a marine reptile
Chickens are reptiles.
Jormungandr is Really Exist.
if jormungandr is Really Exist Mean Loki and Frost Giants of Norse Mythology Really are Exist.
I recommend quitting Google translate, my guy.
I think some undiscovered species of giant freshwater eels could be behind most ormr sightings. If there are also giant ribbon eels, those even swim in the traditional caterpillar fashion!
the "monster" depicted at 17:56 in the middle even looks exactly like a ribbon eel.
いつか鮮明な画像でちゃんと巨大生物を確認出来る日が来ないかね😁

My grandmother is from Norway and her name was Selma. I wonder if she heard about this growing up. ☺
@@chairmanofthebored8684 ok, IMPOSSIBLE..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

could it be a ghost ship, an old burial ship from the bottom that rises up from a small earthquake then sinks back down and back into the silt at the bottom?

Wtf are you jabbering about?
Try less random emojis and more relevant words.
Only one criticism; why call it a sea serpent when if anyting it would be a Lake serpent!
You should have called this series _Boat Wakes._ That’s all these people are describing and photographing. One after the other. Boat wakes.
Doesn't hurt the old tourist economy though eh?
@@FiveSigma72 It certainly doesn't hurt Scotland's economy to have Nessie in the Loch. It's very commercialised there now and no matter how many times photos are disproved and videos identified as ducks, tree logs, etc - the tourists come back for more, happily keeping an eye out and supporting the local businesses.
In fact, I've still got my Nessie ornament made by the monster spotter who used to live by the pub.
just keep smoking it, you never know what youll see lol
What happened to Science, science, science...
I have a seamen serpent I could show her
Probably fake
