Giant sea serpent: incident at Stinson Beach in 1983

My wife once saw a giant sea serpent at Stinson beach.

Then she told me to put my bathing suit back on.

No, it knocked over our umbrella.

In 1977, Randy L. Braun was hiking along Lake Superior, when he had a mysterious encounter with an unidentified creature. For more information, contact Randy at [email protected]



Pressie . The Lake Superior serpent

Lake Superior or Gitchigumi (meaning Great Water or Great Lake) is a fresh water lake. It is 1,333 feet deep in places, with an average water temperature of 34 degrees F and is 350 miles long and up to 160 miles wide in parts. The lake is almost an inland sea. It is said to house a lake serpent ,Pressie, named after the Presque Isle River where one of the best sightings occurred. The native indigenous people called the serpent Mishipishu and it is seen in pictographs at various shoreline sites, either as a spiky cat-like creature or as a serpent .Modern sightings cite a serpent type creature up to 75 feet long with a horse-like head on a longish neck and a bilobate (whale-type) tail, and described as dark green to black in colour. The reported sightings go back centuries ,here is a selection of the most well known:

In September 1894, about halfway between Whitefish Point and Copper Harbor, Michigan, the crews of two steamers observed a strange creature undulating along in the twilight, its back protruding 6 to 8 feet out of the water.

In July 1895, three members of a steamer crew observed a “hideous creature” off Whitefish Point which seemed at times to be deliberately pacing their ship. They claimed it had a 15 foot neck and a jaw a foot wide.

In 1897 near Duluth (MN), a Detroit man fell overboard when his yacht struck a rock. He was then attacked by a huge serpent which he said tried to constrict him in the manner of a large snake. His three shipmates also saw the beast.

In the 1930’s, a serpent, swimming along at about 9 miles per hour, was observed by two fisherman at Pictured Rocks , Munising, Michigan. The animal created a strong wake as it passed the shore.

In the 1960’s, a family watched a huge animal, alternately showing humps and stretching out straight, swim upriver past the North coast of Sugar Island Neither head nor tail was visible and they said it resembled a log when stretched out straight.

Memorial Day weekend in 1977, North of Ironwood , hiker Randy Braun snapped a photo of something which he suspects was a giant serpent swimming in the waters of the lake near the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Braun said it undulated in the water like a serpent. The snapshot he took of the beast shows a blurry object in the water.. The photo indicates a serpent like creature with a horse-like head on a long neck and an undefined tail.

In the summer of 1981 in Munising, four children and teenagers, all siblings, observed a serpent showing 3-5 humps rising 1-2 feet out of the water (the slower it went the higher the humps). As it came within about 20 yards of the private beach, one of the children ran away crying and the animal headed away showing lower humps.

In the middle 1990’s, during the summer, fishermen watched in horror as a large aquatic animal pulled a wading buck deer under (leaving only it’s severed head) near Point Iroquois, Michigan.

All the photographic evidence is as usual grainy or blurry , but that is par for the course and lets face it, anyone’s hand would shake if they thought they saw a monster. So could it be a giant eel? It seems the most likely or a giant water snake. A sturgeon, the usual explanation seems less likely given the descriptions. What we need is a video or a carcass to turn up. Certainly in a lake that big there are plenty of places to hide! "

It was brite white and flabby.

Scared the children.

The dogs went nuts.


Good thing these guys were on duty.

I believe in "sea monsters"

That's why I don't go in over my ankles.

Or even seement ponds.

You see the mofo's that live in there?!

Maybe I missed it but I have s couple problems with her story..


A) why was her daughter with her at work on a road crew.

There isn’t a large female road crew worker population. Let alone a mother daughter team, but not impossible or anything. It just requires explanation.


B) why would her boss tell her to keep it quiet???


Now this is super fishy and just reeks of someone “improving” a story. So what the bosses were in league with the creature?!?! Lol


C) if there are 9 witnesses. What are the other 8s accounts??


If I’m a paid journalist. I’m calling more than one chic. No mention was made of any attempt to contact the others...
It seems fishy or more that the writer did and they didn’t agree..




D) they were close enough to see teeth?!?!

If they needed binoculars to see it. iDK about being able to make out teeth...

Ok..here are the facts,,


A giant sea snake seen off the coast ... with many seeing it,,,...it had teeth ,,and was fast (booking) ...maybe because of Orca's kill their kind ?? ...Maybe the world's ocean is mostly unexplored ??

All we can do is follow the stories

Screw that stuff.

I'd be glad to just watch from the shore on dry land, like kansasgirls avi.

Eat the Lobster and fry the clams.


These guys eat fermented shark. ick.

You are nuts ...were you in the service? I think so



I'm still open to an unknown creature of the deep my friend

You asked , My favorite one...

As a God of war my son talked to a seaserpent just a day ago.

Which is Jörmungandr.

In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr (, meaning "huge monster"[1]), also known as the Midgard (World) Serpent , is a sea serpent, the middle child of the giantess Angrboða and Loki . It is an example of an ouroboros.

They wouldn't take me.

Got a 4H, incase of war, I'm a hostage.

Seriously, saw a megamouth in japan.

I know what's in there. If I was Aquaman I'd have no prob.

I'm not. I can't even swim.

We know more about space(very little), than we do our own ocean. Estimates put it somewhere around 95-96% unexplored. That is absolutely mind blowing. When you think about all the truly strange and alien like creatures we do know about, just imagine the eldritch horrors that wait for us in the abyss. I'm on the fence about this sighting. I'm not saying that they didn't see a mysterious creature. I just find it hard to believe that any creature that is 100 feet long and swims at 60 mph, has never been sighted before. I mean, it's not like it's very inconspicuous is it?

a reply to: Lassiecomehome


A very interesting sighting and a good read, thanks.
I'm more inclined to believe they saw an unknown species of eel but with most of the oceans still unexplored who knows??

a reply to: BASSPLYR

Not in diameter, he said in circumference. Completely different.

15 ft circumference is only about 5 ft in diameter.

Hydra is my favorite. In borderline convinced this was one greek tale that might be true
