Another monster, said to have a head the size of an elephant and to have flashing eyes, has been reportedly seen by citizens in Hull, England. The hunt is on for "Humber Monster."
Humber Monster, named as such as it was seen in the Humber River for many years now, has "gargantuan head and oddly shaped body, [and] could travel faster than 100mph," the International Business Times reported.
Different accounts of people saying they saw a weird beast in the waters of Humber River had been documented. Historian Mike Covell even organized a patrol group called the Humber Monster Watch to guard the Humber River.
The Hull Daily Mail reported that a long time ago, fishermen claimed they saw a "sea serpent." Another family moved away from Hull because of fear after seeing the "jet black" creature swimming.
The climax of sightings came in 1933 when there were reports of numerous sightings. This was also the time when the Loch Ness Monster landed on the front page of newspapers.
On Feb. 6, 1934, Thomas Atkinson reported he had an encounter with the creature. He was walking with his wife and children in the riverside when they saw something black swimming, and the creature suddenly stared at them. What they saw was a beast with "eyes the size of portholes," according to Hull Daily Mail.
In 1925, another monster was caught by fishermen in the Withernsea Beach. This time, it was a giant octopus. The Hull Daily Mail said it "was about 6ft long from tip to tail, with a round, fleshy, dark red body, two long feelers and eight tentacles full of suckers."
The giant octopus was later sent to the British Museum of Natural History and the London Zoological Society and was later found out to be a squid.
In Scotland, a council worker and his family were riding their bicycles when they saw two shadows in the waters of Loch, the Huffington Post reported. The patriarch took a photo of the black creatures swimming, and the photo has been circulating online.
Many say Nessie, the Loch monster, has a twin. Others say Humber Monster is a relative of Nessie.
