Strange creature found washed up on beachAs Tom and Bobbette Clapsadle of Waterford strolled along the water at Ocean Beach Park Sunday afternoon with their two sons, they spotted an almost alien-looking corpse lying amongst the seaweed. We said, 'Oh my God, look at that,' ” said Tom Clapsadle. The first thing Bobbette thought they had discovered was the celebrated creature known as the “Montauk monster.” About two and half feet long with powerful shoulders and a pointed, turtlelike snout, the Ocean Beach carcass looks very muc...
Mystery creature found in Okanagan LakeSubmitted by Bbrown88: A TV documentary crew has added to the mystery surrounding Ogopogo by finding an unknown biological specimen in the depths of Okanagan Lake. "I told a radio station tongue-in-cheek I thought it was the baby Ogopogo," monster-watcher Bill Steciuk of Kelowna said Monday after the History Channel completed a nine-day shoot. "It was all curled up. The features were really hard to see. You could see a little head tucked in and a straight tail with no fins. "...
Sea Mosters and Dragons

Sea serpents and sea dragons
have been reported by ships for a long time. They are obviously not that
different to the dragons of mythology... it is simply that most of these do not
have myths attached to them. The story comes from the retelling of the sighting.
Some of the sightings remain mysterious and are possibly candidates for
undiscovered species. Others seem more likely to be something more mundane.
Faced with a topic like this, it is ...
The Monster in Lake Superior
Pressie (named for the Presque
Isle River where one of the best sightings occurred) is one of the world's most
seldom seen lake monsters. This is likely due to the sheer vastness of Lake
Superior. Known as Mishipishu (and variations thereof) to the area's native
people, the animal is depicted in pictographs at various shoreline sites, either
as a spiky cat-like creature (its Ojibway name means "great lynx") or as a
serpent (sometimes called by other names). Modern sightin...
Sea Monsters that Weren't

On a December day in 1848 the sailing ship Pekin was
becalmed off the Cape of Good Hope near Southern Africa when a crew member
spotted a strange creature in the water. Careful examination of the animal by
use of a telescope revealed it to be snake-like, with a large head and shaggy
mane. Only two months before the HMS Daedulus had reported seeing a
sea serpent in that very same region. Amid great excitement a small boat, it's
crew prepared to captur...
The Kraken

This
is the story of one of the world's most elusive, mysterious and fantastic
creatures. It is a creature we know so very little about, despite the fact that
it was first scientifically described nearly 130 years ago. Clyde Roper, one of
the world's foremost researchers on the subject, points out that we know more
about the dinosaurs then we do about the giant squid. Is this true? If so, why?

There
have been myriad accounts of sea goers and their encounters with creatures
unknown to the world. There are reported attacks, harmless sightings, or
mysterious carcasses washing ashore. The descriptions range from giant versions
of known species, such as squid or jellyfish, to horned serpents, sea monsters
with hair, and anything else imaginable. Many of the "serpents" are said to swim
in an undulating manner, unlike the side-to-side m...
Sea monsters … more than a legend?
by Rebecca Driver
Tales of unknown creatures make
sense in a biblical framework of history. Reports of unknown monsters of the
deep have been a part of sea lore for hundreds of years, but very little
attention has been paid to such tales until recent years. With more and improved scientific
methods of investigation, there is growing evidence that they are more than just
a product of early sailors’ imaginations, according to even some secular
researchers.

The Definitive Sea Serpent
by Matthew A. Bille
Are
there still large unclassified animals roaming the oceans of the world? The
average zoologist would say "probably not." But two particular zoologists, were
they still with us, would emphatically disagree. In 1905, Michael J. Nicoll and
E. G. B. Meade-Waldo observed a"sea monster" which has never been caught,
classified, or explained.

Sweden's Loch Ness monster possibly caught on camera
Copyright © AFPSweden's own version of the Loch Ness monster, the Storsjoe or Great Lake monster, has been caught on film by surveillance videos, an association that installed the cameras said Friday.
