A man has claimed that he spotted a mystery sea creature "dragging" three geese to death in the Lake District in UK.

Wayne Owens, who works in Ullswater, urged people to stay out of water as he noted that the geese who have gone under have never been seen again.

"I was on the steamer and this grey lag goose was taken from the top of the lake and dragged backwards and it was not to be seen again. We kept watching and it didn't come back up," Owens was quoted as saying by Daily Star.

He said, "I was talking to the skipper when another two small grey lags maybe 5lbs each and they could not fly properly were dragged under. They had separated from the flock and ran across the water."

Owens continued, "The first one was taken down immediately, My skipper who has 36 years of experience was with me and said he had never seen any goings-on like it. Within 15 seconds the second one had been taken."

He added, "I think something has been released into the water and when I have spoken to people about it, they have said it could be a crocodile or a catfish."

Owens said that while some people may think it's a joke and he is "mad" for his lake monster fears, he has "nothing to gain from it."

Despite Owens' claims, a ranger working for the Lake District National Park Authority has said there is nothing in the waters following an investigation.

A spokesperson from Lake District National Park Authority, "We are aware of the alleged incidents involving geese on Ullswater. Our Lake Ranger team patrolled the area over the weekend and did not see anything out of the ordinary. We will continue to monitor the area. The Environment Agency is also aware."
