The story of Storsjöodjuret (the Great Lake Sea Monster) is more than 400 years old, with sightings dating back to 1635. The legend tells of two trolls boiling a kettle on the shores of Lake Storsjön, a 300-foot deep lake in Jämtland, central Sweden. Suddenly, a strange black serpent-like creature with a cat-like head jumped out of the kettle and into the water. Today there are some 200 documented witness reports from more than 500 people who have seen Storsjöodjuret. Descriptions of the monster vary from 14 metres in length with humps and a small head to 3 metres in length with short thick feet, a large head and round eyes. In recent years there have been several serious investigations into Storsjöodjuret, but to date, nothing conclusive has been found.
