New clues to mystery sea monster

Fresh clues have been found to help a scientist in her efforts to identify a mystery creature found on Orkney.

Geneticist Dr Yvonne Simpson has researched the Stronsay Beast and will reveal her latest discoveries at the Orkney International Science Festival.

The creature's carcass, which some said was that of a basking shark, was found off Stronsay in 1808.

Dr Simpson has said the descriptions of its long neck were along the lines of those of the Loch Ness Monster
You know, a lot of people claim pets have ghosts so why not Nessie?

R.I.P. Nessie
????-1808

Stronsay Beast - Wikipedia
Orkneyjar - the Stronsay Beast


The Stronsay Beast -
From a sketch made by Sir Alexander Gibson in 1808



A second sketch of the 1808 Stronsay "monster"
Again, the long serpentine neck, small head and bristly mane are apparent.


The creature's carcass, which some said was that of a basking shark, was found off Stronsay in 1808.


How anybody can claim these are similar, or look even remotely like, a Basking Shark (even a dead, decomposing one) is beyond me. They should either get their eye's tested or are in complete denial.

This is some damned compelling evidence to suggest marine animals like Nessie can and possibly do exist today.
