Join me as chat with Linden Adams, professional Photographer and witness of 'Bownessie', a purported monster believed to inhabit Lake Windermere, in the North of England.
On the morning of Monday 5 February 2007, Linden and his wife observed ( and photographed) a strange creature, for approximately 15 minutes, from Gummers How in the south basin of Lake Windermere .
Seeking answers to his strange experience, Linden submitted his photographs to a forensic photographer and a professional freshwater fish ecologist from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, who said:
"...the source of the observed disturbance of the water surface is a moving object, with several of the photographs showing both a part of the object itself (with the remainder being underwater) and a generated wake or other disturbance on the water surface... the minimum length of the visible part of the object is approximately 12 feet... this size estimate means that I cannot explain the photographs by reference to any fish or other vertebrate species previously demonstrated to inhabit Windermere."
Affected by his experience and the confirmation that he did indeed witness something that day that could not be readily identified he went on to investigate the history of the beast ,as well as set up a website, www.bownessie.com (now defunct) to enable people to record details of their own sightings.
