The Official Loch Ness Monster Sighting Register Keeps A Page On Its Website That Highlights What Does

THE BLACK SHUCK OF COLTISHALL BRIDGE

Late one night, between 1960 and 1962, two RAF officers were travelling by car back from Norwich to RAF Coltishall. Passing over Coltishall Bridge, which straddles the River Bure, they were forced to break as an enormous black dog crossed the road. It slowly turned its head and glared at them and then vanished near the other side of the road. Its build was like a Labrador, only level with the roof of their car (1.35 metres or 53 inches in height). A perfectly proportioned giant black dog.

Another encounter took place in the same area in the 1950s, when a woman and her husband were parked on the Coltishall Bridge at nightfall and saw a black dog about the size of a pony, walking towards them, that then suddenly vanished before reaching the other side of the road.

Yet another encounter was experienced by a man and a woman who swear that a Black Shuck passed them one evening on Coltishall Bridge. They initially heard its footfalls and heavy breathing and turned sharply to see the creature approaching them.

A final sighting was made again on Coltishall Bridge, this time by a middle-aged couple. The man was striking a match to light his wife's cigarette when a Black dog the size of a Calf, noiselessly, passed within a foot of them.

The more modern interest in the legendary Loch Ness Monster was ignited after several sightings that took place in 1933. One of the sightings was recorded in the Inverness Courier in May. The witnesses of the May encounter reported “an enormous animal rolling and plunging” on the surface of the water. In June of the same year, George Spicer and his wife claimed to have seen an unknown creature cross the road on which they were traveling until it reached the waters of the loch and vanished. Spicer said that the creature was about 4 feet tall and 25 feet long with a strangely long neck that was a little thicker than an elephant’s trunk. The creature had no visible legs. 

An Endling is the last known member of a species or subspecies. The endling’s death means the end of the species as a whole. The word was supposedly coined by Robert Webster in the mid 1990s. The term is used, however, it still does not have an entry in The Merriam-Webster Dictionary despite Robert trying to get it into the dictionary before his death in 2004. The endling for the Thylacine was called Benjamin.

837: Cabbagetown Tunnel Monster

Primate matches the body type the most but really could have been another skinny and wet animal like a cat perchance? Raccoon even, depending on how much light the witness had when viewing.

Author: 1911 footage by “Mr. Williamson”, 1933 footage by David Fleay. Authors of the 1928 footage are unknown. Date: 1911, 1928 (2-4), and 1933.

This is the most famous photo of Champ, the Lake Champlain monster. It was taken in 1977 by Sandra Mansi who was out with her family on the lake. As her sons waded in the water and she and her fiancé looked after them, Sandra noticed what she thought was a school of fish about 150 yards from the shore. After a little bit “the head and neck broke the surface of the water” and when her fiancé quickly ushered her sons out of the water, she snapped the photo with her camera. Sandra estimates the creature surfaced for four to seven minutes as they watched it. The original photo has been looked at by several experts and they can find no evidence of tampering with the photo to fake it. As of now, this is the most solid evidence of a monster in Lake Champlain.

Cryptid Fact Number 2: WSDOT East Tweeted out a Bigfoot sighting in Washington State today. The sighting was reported at Route 20 on Sherman Pass. The photograph shows what appears to be a Bigfoot running by some trees. This sighting made the national news.

In 1981, under Scotland’s Wildlife and Countryside Act, the Scottish government made it illegal for anyone to attempt to capture, snare, or shoot at the Loch Ness Monster.
