This video of the Lagarfljót Worm (or Lagarfljótsormur) was taken in February of 2012 by a man named Hjörtur Kjerúlf. He stands firm by his claim that the video is not faked in any way. There has been much disagreement over if this video is genuine or faked. While some people believe the object in the video is an inanimate object (perhaps plastic or a fishing net) that is moving with the currents of the water; other people believe it to be the monster that has been sighted since the 1300s. A panel of 13 people, the Truth Committee, came together to judge if the creature was real or not and ultimately decided that it was a real creature.
