There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the serene Lakeside Park, most specifically the exciting developments in its pond. This isn’t the kind of location where you would expect to find a lot of excitement, as it is quite tranquil and many people go there to get away from the stress of the day.

However, there is something strange lurking beneath the waters of the pond… It is unknown what exactly it is at this time, but it has been dubbed the “Lakeside Nessie”.

This mystery creature doesn’t really fit the bill of being a full fledged sea monster, however it is rather large and doesn’t seem to be too fish-like.

A lone dog walker a few weeks ago, Hannah Ramsey, was walking along the pond, when she saw a very large fish-like creature on the banks.
“It was really weird,” Ramsey said. “It had a snake’s tail. It was really long and really big in the middle and it had fish scales.”
Ramsey continued by saying that she was within arms reach of the creature, but that it didn’t make any sudden moves.
“It stayed there for a couple of minutes, but it wouldn’t turn so I could see its face. It was acting like it was strangling a fish or something.”

However, Ramsey’s mother, Laura, has said that she believes that the creature on the banks was a giant carp. Lots of people feed things to the local wildlife, such as ducks, and the food sinks attracting the fish to the shoreline. She goes on to state that in the last she has seen two really large carp close in to the shore of the pond.

However, that doesn’t explain the snake-like tail, or the other odd features of the creature… Is it possible that Nessie has a cousin? Or maybe its just on a well deserved vacation? Whatever the answer is, the populace of Lakeside is eagerly awaiting the outcome.

My money is on a carp or other large scale fish because, lets not fool ourselfs, that is what it looks like.
