Nessie showing herself

 

More Sightings This Year

https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/two-further-loch-ness-monster-sightings-take-number-of-encou-443142/

So why are there more sightings ?  Is it the fine weather bringing Nessie to the surface to sunbathe? 

Or is it simply that more people are visiting the Loch in the hot weather so more eyes on the Loch mean more views. 

DNA test results from the Loch have shown unidentified  DNA in the past. What do you think, is Nessie alive and well and showing herself to the sun ? Or is it mistaken identity of waves or boat wakes as some state.

Patterson Gimlin Film Controversy

I  Apologise for lack of posts .I have been very ill,been in hospital etc. 

I am trying to get back to some normality,difficult when you are in severe pain.

However back to the subject of the recent release of a piece of film showing a practice run of Patty the bigfoot,a year before the film was produced.

It begs the question of why has it taken so long and could it be AI generated?

I suggest You watch the film on youtube and make your own mind up. Whether you believe in Bigfoot or not it will not change your belief. One film does not change that.

Those who have always doubted will say it is proof it does not exist,however there are hundreds of eye witness accounts which say the opposite. People tend to believe their own eyes. 

As I said one film does not change things except perhaps disapointment in other people .See what you think and feel free to comment when you have seen it.

Monster of the Medway?

 

Kent Sea Monster?

Sightings of a sea serpent have been reported this week in Chatham in Kent, leaving many to wonder whether the fabled Monster of The Medway has returned to the river.

Estimated to be 30 feet long, with A COW-LIKE HEAD and bulging green eyes, the ‘Monster of the Medway’ was seen this week moving slowly through the water close to the dockyard.

Dockyard volunteer George Hornby said: “I was standing on the deck of HMS CAVALIER,  taking a few minutes for myself when I saw a long shadow moving across the river.  It seemed strange to me on a cloudy day to see a shadow – it clearly wasn’t a reflection! Then I saw what looked like a head rise from the water, bob and then snort and I knew that it wasn’t a shadow!”

This is not the first time that a sea serpent has been spotted in the Medway.

On the 4th October 1911 the Dublin Daily Express carried a story about a sea serpent who was trailed in the Medway by a naval boat, with a nine-pounder gun in the bow, sent in search of the monster who had been troubling the people of Chatham.  Back in October 1911, the naval boat reportedly fired shots at the monster but it got away due to having “a bullet-proof carcase” that the “shots have harmlessly rebounded from”.

Other monstrous sightings have been recorded over the years in Chatham.  Lynnette Crisp, Director of Communications and Public Engagement here at Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust said: “We have records in our archives detailing the capture of a monster fish of eleven feet in length and girth of six feet’ back in October 1850.  There are also newspaper cuttings from 1911 detailing the thirty foot long serpent, headed like a cow, with green, bulging eyes, and a jointed ridge the thickness of a man’s arm running along its back.  The newspaper reported scores of eye-witnesses who gave account of this particular ‘Medway Monster’.”

The Medway has undergone some work over the last decade with The Maritime Trust aerating the basins, which has seen an increase in wildlife to the region.  Grant Leathwhite from Chatham Maritime Trust said: “I’ve had a hunch about the presence of monsters in the Medway for quite some time. 15 Aeration heads are based in Basin 2 and have been in place for about 5 years and this has resulted in significant life coming back to the Basin. We do have some fairly large jellyfish in there. Basin 1 is where the Seals, Rays, Eels come in through the lock gates from the Medway. Who knows if more mysterious life has also come back?”

Here at the dockyard, the team are unsure whether the recent sighting this week is the original Sea Serpent from 1911 or a descendent of the beast. Sadly, the eyewitnesses who saw the beast was too shocked to reach for his phone and take a photograph.

Lynnette Crisp, added: “we have alerted everyone in the Dockyard and asked all to keep a watching brief – we believe that we should find it easier to catalogue this particular monster now that everyone carries a camera phone with them these days – unlike in 1911!”

Seems genuine until you check the date April 1st !

 

Godzilla or Mirage?

 

The Antarctic Sea Monster

 In February  1950, the Daiichi Nisshinmaru a whaling expedition, came across something strange in the Antarctic Ocean. Early in the morning  the helmsman saw a strange creature   on the port side. Its head was sticking out of the sea . He called to  the second mate and the radio chief to see it.They saw It had a face like  a turtle with a large neck. It was covered with dark brown hair. It repeatedly dived and reappeared

In 1957 There was a strange sighting at Shoa Station in the Antarctic. A  member of the team Toru Kikuchi, swore he saw a huge Godzilla-like monster .It was assumed to be a mirage.

Then in February 13, 1958, in the evening , the crew of the Soya , a Japanese research spotted   a large  black object on the surface of the sea some distance  away. As the captain and crew watched  the object turned toward the ship .The creature  was covered with  dark brown hair .The head was shaped like a cow or horse, but the top  of the head was rounded. It had large eyes .One crew member said it had dorsal spikes.Some said it had a long neck. It was in sight for less than a minute.

.S o had Godzilla appeared or was it some prehistoric relic still alive? Or was it just a mirage caused by the icy seas and landscape? Maybe some other sightings  may be reported or found.

The Berwick Vampire

 

A vampire story for Halloween.

Berwick is a town in the borders of Scotland. 

Berwick upon Tweed Vampire

This account of a haunting is considered to be one of the earliest possible accounts of a vampire in Britain. It was written by William Parvus, also known as William of Newburgh (or Newbury) (Born 1136 – Died 1198), an Augustinian Canon who wrote several accounts of haunting/potential vampire cases.

‘At the mouth of the river Tweed, and in the jurisdiction of the king of Scotland, there stands a noble city which is called Berwick. In this town a certain man, very wealthy, but as it afterwards appeared a great rogue, having been buried, after his death sallied forth (by the contrivance, as it is believed, of Satan) out of his grave by night, and was borne hither and thither, pursued by a pack of dogs with loud barkings; thus striking great terror into the neighbours, and returning to his tomb before daylight. After this had continued for several days, and no one dared to be found out of doors after dusk - for each dreaded an encounter with this deadly monster - the higher and middle classes of the people held a necessary investigation into what was requisite to he done; the more simple among them fearing, in the event of negligence, to be soundly beaten by this prodigy of the grave; but the wiser shrewdly concluding that were a remedy further delayed, the atmosphere, infected and corrupted by the constant whirlings through it of the pestiferous corpse, would engender disease and death t o a great extent; the necessity of providing against which was shown by frequent examples in similar cases. They, therefore, procured ten young men renowned for boldness, who were to dig up the horrible carcass, and, having cut it limb from limb, reduce it into food and fuel for the flames. When this was done, the commotion ceased. Moreover, it is stated that the monster, while it was being borne about (as it is said) by Satan, had told certain persons whom it had by chance encountered, that as long as it remained unburned the people should have no peace. Being burnt, tranquility appeared to be restored to them; but a pestilence, which arose in consequence, carried off the greater portion of them: for never did it so furiously rage elsewhere, though it was at that time general throughout

Is it just a folktale? What do you think?
