Rumours of a 'Chinese Nessie' are rife after reports an underwater monster was spotted emerging from a lake in China.
Officials are believed to be investigating after mobile phone footage appeared to show a shadowy shape lifting its head out of the water.
The eerie video has gone viral on social media with over 5 million views and shows grainy images of what appears to be a beast now known as the "Chinese Nessie".
Witnesses gasp and scream as the 'creature' causes endless ripples on the surface of the lake in Luoping County, which is in China's south-western Yunnan Province.
The unidentified 'creature' reveals part of what looks like its head but quickly disappears below the water surface.
