One for the X-Files.

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on August 28, 2005 at 1:23 pm

Every now and then, strange carcasses are hauled from the sea or found in the beach (aptly named "globsters" or just "blob").

The pic on the left is something a Japanese fishing vessel Zuiyo Maru hauled up in 1977. Sea monster or shark? You decide.

It’s just a shark, you fools!  |  No,
it’s not!

Other interesting websites about monsters:
