The Story Behind Britain's Bownessie Monster: What Lies Under Lake Windermere

The Lake District's picturesque Lake Windermere is the centre of a local mystery: Bownessie, a creature similar to the Loch Ness monster. Explore the legend, starting with the first major sightings in 2006, which occurred after a new speed limit made the lake quieter. While some locals and boat captains are skeptical, pointing to misidentified wildlife or light tricks on the water, others believe eyewitness accounts of a fast-moving, humped creature.
