Sea Monster in the English Channel

Several blogs are reporting sightings of a weird marine animal in the Channel. A big weird marine animal, which is strange because I've met a few old-timers in the Channel Islands who'll swear blind there's something like this living out there. Tall tales of a Channel Monster tended to come up after a little drinking on quiet winter nights, when there was no-one else in the bar, just a few of my elderly regulars and me serving the drinks. I never took too much of what they said to heart (fishermen have stories for every occasion). They did have a fairly consistent description though and after some prodding and skeptical remarks, an old salt called Ormer drew me this sketch:



Turns out more and more people are coming forward with sightings, so there may be something to it. The Association of Maritime Research are looking for witnesses and reported sightings:

Calling for Witnesses




The AMR’s success in identifying this marine phenomenon is dependent upon the participation of the general public. As the first report came from Dover they have put in place a multimedia campaign calling for witnesses to come forward. This will include the distribution of flyers, radio, press and online communications.

We are calling for all witnesses of sightings of any strange phenomena in the English Channel to contact the AMR immediately via our website www.thechannelcreature.com. A reward is being offered for evidence leading directly to proof of this creature’s existence.

I have hear of this before, but I am not sure if it actually exists. Has there ever been any sightings or has anyone seen it personally?

Yes, we have from time to time, personal pleasure and we like different things from time to time, but this is not inner peace. For how could God be angry at something he had given the people preferred? Indeed, concerns one of the first investigations of the Asian social relations, which has Marx, the transformation of the collective or community in Scotland to private property in the capitalist sense.
