CREATURES 
On Construction..!!!
THERE ARE HUNDREDS, OR MAYBE THOUSANDS OF WEIRD CREATURES OR
CRYPTIDS HIDING IN ALL CORNERS OF THE PLANET. EVERY MONTH A NEW MONSTER
GRAB THE ATTENTION OF THE MEDIA AND INFLAMES THE IMAGINATION OF THE PEOPLE.
ONE OF THE MOST RECENT STARS OF THIS SHOW IS THE CALLED MONSTER OF LAKE
VAN, IN TURKEY. THE FAMOUS VIDEO THAT WAS SHOW IN THE CCN NEWS PROGRAM
STUNNED AUDIENCES AROUND THE WORLD. BUT THE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS: IS IT
REAL, OR A CLEVER HOAX..?
Sightings of the Lake Van
monster in Van, Turkey were first reported about two years ago, but further
evidence was offered on Tuesday 10 June 1997 when Unal Kozak took bad quality
amateur pictures of something long and dark moving in the middle of the
lake. Kozak says the creature is about 15 meters (49.5 feet) long.

The subject became an obsession
for 26-year-old Unal Kozak, a Van University teaching assistant who has
been talking to eyewitnesses since the first sightings. Stationing himself
at spots where most of the sightings were reported, Kozak says he saw and
filmed the so-called monster on three occasions. Kozak also wrote a book
on the creature, including drawings of the monster based on the descriptions
of some 1,000 witnesses. The pictures have been sent to Cambridge University
for examination, and Jacques Cousteau, the world-famous marine biologist,
was expected to visit and examine the lake, but sadly died two weeks after
the event.
After each sighting, professional
camera crews have rented boats to try to capture the alleged beast clearly
on film, but were unsuccessful each time. Public opinion is divided over
whether the Lake Van monster is a clever hoax to attract visitors to a
region that could use some tourist revenue. The city of Van is in an underdeveloped
area of eastern Turkey that for years has lost out to holiday resorts in
the west of the country.
