The chilling tale of the lady in the lake
By Jeremy Craddock
On a warm August day in 1997, three amateur divers broke the surface of Coniston Water, pulling behind them a canvas package trussed up with ropes.
The package was heavy but they managed to drag it on to the shore of the lake. With a knife, one of the divers cut through the outer canvas cover and an inner layer of bin liners. Pieces of lead fell out.
The men recoiled. Inside was a body.
