The lake van monster footage began circulating on news outlets when it was filmed in 1997.
A university assistant teacher named Unal Kozak filmed the video, stating that he captured it on camera in an area of the lake where previous sightings were said to have taken place.
Although the footage is interesting, there has been some controversy. Many find it suspicious that the video doesn't move off to the sides, and people believe this is because a boat is towing the object that is in the water. Some also believe that the "breathing" of the creature is suspicious, as there is no "inhale" and "exhale" of the monster, but rather a continuous exhale/bubbling, almost as if air is being constantly blow through a hose or a tube.
Regardless, this video received a fair bit of attention at the time. What do you think it is? Real creature, or a hoax?
