Aquatic creatures. Ireland

British journalist Fredrick William holiday in the 1930-ies became fascinated with cryptozoology, and has since devoted all my life. Especially productive, he's had a 60-e and 70-e years.

Due to the fact that the holiday is especially loved fishing, his most interested in water monsters like the Scottish Nessie or Ogopogo canadian. And in 1968 he came to Ireland to study one notable incident that occurred in the same year.

In the area of a tiny marshy lake, Loch Nagrin (Lough Nahooin) lived a man named Stephen Coyne and once in the evening of 22 February, 1968, he went to the swampy area near the lake to collect the peat. A Steven took his 8-year-old son and a dog.

It was a bright day and making it to the peat deposits, Steven started to work, but suddenly noticed the shore in the water, something large and black. Thinking that it was his dog got into the water, the man whistled to her, to beckon to him, but the dog came running from the other side.

"After that, he saw that the creature in the water had a round head on thick neck. The creature swam back and forth, but did not swim away from the shore and out of the water sometimes there are other parts of his body, similar to the two humps. Sometimes it has been seen flat tail.

The dog ran along the shore and started barking at the creature and his dog seems barking was annoying as it stuck his head out of the water even further. It became clear long, firm and smooth the neck, and the skin of the creatures were without scales and resembled the skin of acne.

At some point the barking of a dog so sick monster that opened its mouth and quickly began to swim toward shore. Coyne saw it and called to his dog, grabbing her by the collar. After that, the monster slowed down, and then turned again and began to slowly swim in the old style.

Son Coyne by that time, was sent to run home and tell about a water monster mother. After that, Mrs. Coyne came to him, and also saw the creature.

And Coyne and his wife decided that in length it is at least 12 feet (3.6 meters) and both were unable to examine the eyes in his head. When this woman saw the same head with two protrusion like horns. Teeth in the jaws have not seen nor Coyne, nor his wife, and the color of the mouth was described as a man pale.

To the lake then came and other family members all coin and all that night the monster saw seven people. Only when it became quite dark, the men left the swampy shore and went home."

The nature of this strange creature remained unclear, and besides, none of all coin ever this creature in the lake are not met. Other people are not met. Actually if all coin were only the second and last observation of this creature in a small lake Loch Naguin. The first case was in 1948 and then being described as "giant eel".

What could be the mysterious animal? Really huge freshwater eel mutant? However, the existence of such fish is not scientifically confirmed. Sea eels can be large, but the freshwater of this size never achieve. And they also have no horns on their heads.
