LOCH NESS MONSTER IN ICELAND!

The Loch Ness Monster, the gigantic mythical river worm, was spotted in the Iceland!

The Loch Ness Monster was filmed winding its way through the Jokulsa river in the Fljotsdal valley last week and quickly posted online by Icelandic broadcaster RUV.

It has since become a viral sensation with many viewers heralding it as proof at last of a legend spanning seven centuries, that of the Lagarfljot river worm.

And authorities have confirmed the sightings – it IS the Loch Ness Monster!

Iceland’s very own mythical sea creature, akin to Scotland’s Loch Ness monster, can be traced back through the country’s folklore to 1345.

According to the legend, a small heather worm was put onto a golden ring so that the precious metal would grow and so in turn the ring. However, when the owner of the ring returned he found, to his horror, that the ring was no bigger but that the worm had in fact grown enormously. The owner then threw the ring and worm into Lagarfljot river where the creature continued to grow and grow.

But this is not an Icelandic monster.. this is the Loch Ness Monster from Scotland. THE Loch Ness Monster. Somehow, the monster has made its way to Iceland.

Hundreds of citizens of Iceland have seen the Loch Ness Monster. Several fishermen tried to kill the monster but it got away and the fishermen were scared off by angry locals, who wanted the monster to swim free.

“Everybody loves the Loch Ness Monster,” said Jorg Vovli, a oceanic expert from Iceland.

The latest video of the creature was taken by local resident Hjortur Kjerulf and appears to show something meandering its way through the waters.

LOCH NESS MONSTER OF THE VOSGES

PARIS – A small town in eastern France is on high alert after multiple sightings of an elusive creature.

Xertigny is a village in the Vosges region, and home to about 3,000 people. Although relatively small, it is now making headlines after multiple residents reported seeing a large crocodile at a local pond. Crocodiles are only found in France in zoos and parks.

Authorities left a dead chicken on the bank in order to lure it out, but so far the beast has not taken the bait. A special sonar device was used to try and the creature in the murky water, but the results were inconclusive. Residents are so concerned that draining the whole pool is now being considered.

“We have been around the pond several times and you can’t really say if anything is there,” said Bruno Aime, vice president of a local anglers’ association.

“I think it’s carp but it could also be a caiman [crocodile] of about 1.50 metres. The equipment doesn’t let you see the difference between a pike of a metre long and a caiman of 1.50 metres,” he told France Info radio.

The beast has not been caught in film yet. Weekly World News will continue to follow the story and provide updates as they become available.

BLUE MOUNTAINS, OR – After a spate of high-profile Twitter accounts were hacked, the world’s most famous cryptid became the next victim.

Weekly World News was able to screen-capture the fake update before it was deleted, which announced, “nessie is gay”.

A representative from Cryptids & Humanoids Alliance Against Defamation issued a statement on Bigfoot’s behalf this morning: “Bigfoot is embarrassed and infuriated at this identity theft. He wants to formally apologize to the Loch Ness Monster for any emotional distress this has caused, and reiterate that he has no opinion on the Monster’s sexuality.

“Bigfoot’s twitter followers know he would never write such a sophomoric attempt at humor. He asks that twitter find and prosecute this hacker to the fullest extent of the law.”

For Bigfoot’s usual twitter habits, read his last five updates:
