Author-translator Takano Hideyuki, photographer Mori Kiyashi and assistant Suezawa Yasufumi from the Japanese magazine Shosetsu Tendai by Kodansha arrived in Van nearly two weeks ago to investigate the legend of the Van Lake monster.
Hideyuki said when they completed their research and returned to Van, they witnessed a monster-like body swimming in the lake about 300 meters offshore and captured the event on film.
Hideyuki said such a sighting following the completion of their research thrilled his team, and added that they showed the pictures and film to experts at Van Yuzuncu Yil University, but the murky images were not conclusive.
Before departing for Japan, the team announced they would return to the region in the future to conduct further research.
