''Selma'', The Telemark Fjord Monster

By Crusader1307

A Myth from Telemark, Norway – ''Selma'' was said to have been an ''ancient'' Lake Monster (Serpent). The ''creature'' – said to have been a ''large greenish, snake-like beast'' presented itself on The Fjord Lake to a Man rowing across the water. Neither menacing or friendly, ''Selma'' was reputed to have been sighted continually since the 1750s. So popular a legend, The City of Telemark used Selma for their City Coat of Arms – a Gold Sea Serpent on a Red background.
