ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD



On This Day in Weird, July 5...

1912: The captain and crew of the German vessel Kaiserin Auguste Victoria report a sea-serpent sighting off Prawle Point, South Devon, England. They described the creature as 20 feet long and 12 to 18 inches in diameter.



1949: Witness Harold Wilkins and an unnamed companion see "two remarkable saurians," each 15 to 20 feet long, with green heads, chasing a shoal of fish up the tidal creek of East Looe, Cornwall, England. Wilkins compares the animals to prehistoric plesiosaurs.
