Chinese Officials Drain Resevoir to Look 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.
“We had to empty the reservoir, since more and more people were visiting it, and it was dangerous,” a spokesman explained.

Oh my! Seems like that would be a costly way to prove that nothing was there!

That is just unbeleivable that they would drain an entire lake do to people hearing noises.
