Reservoir drained in search for monster
Officials in China emptied a reservoir after residents complained a monster was lurking in its depths. Locals claimed they heard ‘Moo’ sounds coming from the water at night, reports the Western China City Daily.
Hongxian township government instructed the Yongfu Hydropower plant to empty its reservoir even though it had only been open for two months. They spent about five days letting the 35ft reservoir run dry, and found nothing more than pebbles.
