/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A group of American filmmakers have arrived in the
eastern province of Van to shoot a documentary on the "Lake Van
Monster".
The documentary on largest lake in Turkey will be broadcast as part of
the U.S. reality TV series "Destination Truth".
Paying a visit to the mayor of Van's Gevas town on Saturday,
U.S. documentaries said that they believed in the existence of a
monster in Lake Van.
After their meeting with the mayor, the group shot several scenes,
some scuba divers from the team dived into the lake and documentaries
later proceeded to Aktamar Island.
Spending the whole night at the island, filmmakers waited for the
"monster to appear".
Lake Van is the largest lake in Turkey, located in the far east of the
country.
The Lake Van Monster was not reported until 1995. There are now more
than 1,000 people claiming to have witnessed the beast which is
reported to measure around fifteen meters long with spikes on its back
and appears similar to a Plesiosaur or Ichthyosaurus. Following these
reports, the Turkish government sent an official scientific survey
group to the lake who failed to spot the creature.
"Destination Truth" is a weekly adventure series that invites viewers
along on one man's search for the truth while he investigates stories
of the unexplained across the globe, Anatolian News Agency reported.
