Monster in the lake
Among such places is the mystical African Lake Funduji, located three hundred kilometers from the capital of South Africa, Pretoria. Locals (the Bevend tribe) consider it a cursed place and try to get around seven miles. In their opinion, lives in the lake scary monster devouring anyone who dares even get closer to the pond, not to mention swim or even just wash your feet.

So, one of the Gendrick brothers swam across Funduji on the boat, and Yakobus stayed on the shore in order to track occurring from the side. The boat safely reached the middle lakes and then got up, as attached, no matter how much Hendrick applied efforts to move her off the ground. However, he did not even have time scared, because the next moment a huge the mouth of the monster that swallowed the daredevil along with the canoe.

They poured for the purity of the experiment water in a variety of containers – not just glass. But it is not helped, water disappeared from all the vessels.

For example, in 1954, Funduji crocodiles European alligator hunters became interested, especially as there were a lot of these valuable reptiles because of their skin, and they, like they say, they were still not scared.
A group of fishermen gathered on the shore of the reservoir and became shoot aiming at huge crocodiles. However, the bullets are like bounced off them without causing the slightest harm to alligators. AND then from the heap of these impenetrable animals suddenly the most huge alligator and headed towards the hunters who looked at him as bewitched, unable to budge.
