英國水怪現真身 皮膚黝黑形似大蛇

The legend of 'Bownessie' is echoing across the waters of Lake Windermere once again after what is being called the best ever sighting of the mythical sea creature. Emerging from the mist with oily black skin and three eerie humps, this picture reveals a mystical looking beast gliding through the lake.

如果我們還沉浸在電影《尼斯湖水怪》中，愛上了那個與人類成爲好朋友的水怪的話。那麼最近在英國發現的“水怪”還真是“真真切切”地步入人們的視線中了。過去5年來，英國最大的湖“溫德米爾湖”中發生了至少7起“水怪目擊事件”。據目擊者描述，這隻怪獸體型巨大，和著名的“尼斯湖水怪”一樣長着長長的蛇頸，只是看起來稍有些駝背，因此被戲稱爲“鞠躬的尼斯”。在視頻中，這個被譽爲“鞠躬的尼斯”的水怪似乎有着黑糊糊的油狀皮膚、還有3個“山丘樣子”的背部肌肉，視頻顯示，這個水怪正在濛濛薄霧中在湖中暢遊。

The snap was taken on a camera-phone by terrified IT graduate Tom Pickles, 24, who said an animal the size of three cars sped across the lake in front him last Friday. 'It was petrifying and we paddled back to the shore straight away,' he said. 'At first I thought it was a dog and then saw it was much bigger and moving really quickly at about 10 mph. Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast.'

據悉，照片是24歲的小夥子Tom Pickles用視頻手機拍攝的。據這位小夥子稱，這隻“鞠躬的尼斯”水怪身形有3輛車那麼大，在他的勉強快速穿過，耗時整整20秒。小夥Tom Pickles說：“剛開始，我還以爲是一隻海狗還是什麼的，但是，我發現，它比狗大多了，遊的速度超級快，真的很快，可以達到每英里10小時！”

Mr Pickles's companion Sarah Harrington, 23, said: 'It was like an enormous snake. 'It freaked us all out but it wasn't until we saw the picture that we thought we'd seen something out of this world. 'I only saw it for a few seconds but all I could think about was that I had to get off the lake.' The pair - who both work for Shrewsbery based IT company CapGemini - were on the last day of a team building residential training course at Fallbarrow Hall, Bowness, Cumbria

他的同伴Sarah Harrington說：“這個水怪可以和電影尼斯湖水怪相媲美，簡直是一條巨大的蛇，我們看到它的時候，都快被嚇死了，但是還是不敢相信自己的眼睛！直到真正看到照片，我們才相信自己的的確確看到水怪了。”
