It's becoming quite obvious to anyone that reads this drivel that I'm obsessed with mythical creatures. I was let down by the Georgian Bigfoot (aka RickMat) earlier this month, but this time I will not be disappointed...
Yes, we have a Storsjoodjuret sighting in Sweden. What's that you ask? It's Sweden's very own Loch Ness Monster! Did you know they had one? I had no idea. The Storsjoodjuret has been talked about since 1635 - and a story that old just has to be true. Right?
As I can't even pronounce Storsjoodjuret, I shall call this glorious beast Joodi (aka Judy)
The Storsjoodjuret is a snake-like creature that supposedly has fins on it's back and a head like a dog. That's insane! Well, hopefully we'll find out more soon as Swedish television has released video of a creature that could be the Storsjoodjuret. Says a member of the film crew:
"It clearly shows that it's warm and is made up of cells, otherwise our cameras wouldn't indicate red, so it can be a sea snake or some other kind of sea animal,"They are setting up 30 more cameras in 2009 to monitor the lake for additional Storsjoodjuret activity. Swim Joody, swim!
So, where do you need to travel to visit this rare creature? I visited Loch Ness last year (beautiful place!) and I'm up for a new adventure. Joodi and the other Storsjoodjuret can (maybe) be found in Storsjon, Sweden.
Storsjon is about 7 hours northwest of Stockholm in rural Sweden. Besides the mythical beast sightings, I bet it's simply goregeous terrain.
I have to get there. Joodi, I'm coming for you!
