The Icelandic national television has released video footage that purports to reveal the Loch Ness monster‘s Icelandic counterpart.
Hjortur Kjerulf, a local inhabitant of the Fljotsdal valley, captures the creature on camera. Today, more than three million individuals saw a picture.
Some people say it’s a fishing net, some think it’s a large snake, and still others think it’s the legendary enormous worm dragon or serpentine that was said to dwell in the lake Lagarfljót.
The earliest account of this monster occurred in Icelandic tradition in the fourteenth century.
Given that pythons and other similar huge snakes are known to reside in warm climates, it is unclear why one would find a python or a similar large snake in frigid water.
As it moves through the murky water, this worm, which has several humps, frequently resembles a serpent. Additionally, it has been observed coiling or crawling up trees. In the murky waters of Lagarfljót Lake in Egilsstaoir, Iceland, it can be found. The fact that it was first observed in 1345 and last observed in 2012 indicates that either these creatures have very lengthy lifespans (700+ years) or the lake is home to a limited population. A lindworm is said to have been thrown into the lake, according to another folklore.
Folklorists May and Hallberg Hallmundsson provide a folklore background for the worm in their book “Icelandic Folk and Fairy Tales.”
The snake and the ring
A girl was allegedly handed a gold ring by her mother. She desired a large ring so she could sell it for a higher price.
The mother instructed her to place a worm on it so that it will develop a ring.
The girl completed the task before sealing the box with the worms and the ring. The worm expanded the following day and shattered the box, but the ring remained little.
Frightened, the girl was thrown into the lake with a monster and a ring; as that thing grew and killed people and animals, the creature continued to exist.
