Eachy
An eachy is a name given to a species of lake monster from a variety of locations in Northern England and Scotland. An eachy is typically a large humanoid being of gruesome and slimy appearance seen to occasionally emerge from the lake. An eachy was reported from Windermere in 1873 and Bassenthwaite Lake as late as 1973 when it was supposedly photographed twice.[1] A scientific expedition was launched to find the mystery creature when, in September 1961, three atomic scientists conducted an underwater exploration of the lake. However, they did not find the 13-foot-long (4.0 m), triple-humped, python-headed creature that had recently been sighted.[2]
While Eachy sightings seem to be rare, the creature does appear in tourist material[3] for Lake Bassenthwaite and in numerous[4] cryptozoological[5] themed books[6] and websites.[7] Like many cryptids, there is little physical evidence for the existence of the Eachy, aside from anecdotes and blurry photos.
