The Monster Of Whitewood Lake | Nobber, Co. Meath, Ireland 1981

Video summary

Press to jump

0:52Hanley visits Kilmainhamwood post office to ask Mrs. Courtney about the fishermen's reports.
1:50Two local witnesses describe the creature they remember seeing in the lake.
4:46Fred Zahler sketches the reported monster while a crowd gathers beside the water.
6:23Divers take underwater cameras into thick mud and near-zero visibility.
7:11Peter Dorney surfaces to give Hanley the expedition's findings.

Visibility was the problem. Summerhouse had assembled divers, an underwater camera and a lakeside crowd, but Whitewood Lake wasn't about to make their monster hunt easy.

CR's Video Vaults' most-watched new upload revives Vincent Hanley's 1981 report from near Nobber, County Meath. Denis Naulty describes a black creature with a head resembling a swan's or goose's; another witness explains that fear of being laughed at kept him quiet. Graphic artist Fred Zahler turns their accounts into a sketch while the divers prepare to search the murk.

Peter Dorney's verdict on surfacing is wonderfully economical: "Without reservation, Vincent, appalling." The team finds no sign of the creature. The archived RTÉ report has reached roughly 29,000 views, and viewers are discussing its dry humour, comparing it with Monty Python and remembering seeing it as children.

Lake mysteries became a small strand of the week's seven uploads. "The Monster of Lough Derg, Ireland 1967" brings Bill O'Herlihy to another set of extraordinary local accounts. Music supplies a different kind of time travel: Clannad at The Embankment in Tallaght, and Planxty performing "Little Musgrave" at Lisdoonvarna with guest fiddler Nollaig Casey.

The channel's subscribers stayed unchanged, while daily viewing sits a little below its usual level. Whitewood is its busiest upload right now, followed by a 1986 Depeche Mode interview. In that conversation with Marty Whelan, Martin Gore explains how electronic songs can begin with simple acoustic-guitar chords, a pleasingly modest starting point for the band's expansive sound.
