Proud Salfordian, Marie Harvey (21), was out looking for a lost cat which had been reported missing on Salford Online when she made the shocking discovery after inadvertently throwing a rock at a parrot that was looking angrily at her.
Marie told us:
Quote"I was walking along the bank when I saw this parrot looking back at me, I had read reports that they can be quite vicious and so I decided rather than take chances with my life, I would pick up a rock and throw it at it in an attempt to scare it away.
"I had followed all the other advise I had read about, I had no bird seed or bread in my pockets and well, to be honest, I don't think it was falling for my attempts to look like a hawk so I chucked the rock at it
"Sadly I missed and the rock hit the water, it was at that point I saw the bubbles coming up and so I called the police.
"I asked the officer in charge what it was I had found and he said that it was either a supervolcano or some frogs under the water, I just knew it was the supervolcano and so I contacted the press".
Marie is no stranger to finding odd things, last year she sparked a Salford wide hunt for the elusive Irlam Bigfoot after claiming to have spotted it whilst meditating on Barton Moss.
In 2013 she famously claimed she had cured the common cold by sitting in bed with a hot water bottle for 2 weeks and in 2015 was almost arrested for beating up a BNP truck during the elections.
We asked a spokesman from the National Geological Survey who told us:
Quote"Clifton is an area full of mine shafts, we must stress to the public we have no evidence of any such supervolcano and we suspect Marie may have been heavily drinking at the time.
"We also doubt her claims that she saw a parrot as those are only native to Barton and as such would not travel this far north.
"We have no evidence for any volcanic activity within Salford, although we still ask the public to remain vigilant, as supervolcanos are very dangerous and can kill hundreds of people
"Statistically speaking though, more people are killed by angry parrots each year than by supervolcanoes, the public has little to fear from them."
We also asked Salford City Council for a comment but once more the stroppy bleeders made threats of legal action and reminded us of the restraining order.
Marie wishes to let it be known that sadly she did not find the cat and later remembered she doesn't even own a cat anyhow.
