MONSTER hunter Dean ‘Midas’ Maynard is set to release a single inspired by his hunts for Windermere’s very own ‘Bownessie’.

The psychic recently ventured out onto the lake in search of evidence that the fabled monster exists.

Now Mr Maynard has teamed up with American songwriter Chris Michael to release Bownessie Monster – in tribute to the creature.

He said: “I asked Chris if he would produce a record to coincide with the Bownessie searches not thinking for a minute that he would do it, that was four weeks ago and now the single is finished.”

Mr Maynard is looking for a record label, and the pair have pledged a slice of the royalties to the Great North Air Ambulance.
