Missouri River Monster Captured

A report from May for your consideration… A Terrible Fish Story A strange monster was captured recently [during May] in the [Missouri] river opposite Canton, by some fishermen, in their seine, while dragging for fish. We know not what to call it, or what it looks like, or how to describe it, for it is unlike any creature of earth, air or water, that we have ever seen. It is not a fish, nor is it an alligator, or crocodile, or a turtle, but resembles the pictures we have often seen in books of the mythical dragon. It is a [...]

California “Sea-Ape”?

A California Mermaid – The account of the voyage of Hernando Grijalva to the Gulf coast of Lower California, (1823,) describes a mermaid which Grijalva professed to have seen. The object[,] when seen near by, resembled nothing more than a monkey.

He addressed the [...]

Old Sea Serpent Sighting

A Monster in the Sound The Portchester Journal assumes the responsibility for this story: “Last Friday [August 10, 1877], while a gentleman and lady were sailing on the Sound, between Byram shore and Captain’s Island light, their attention was attracted by a queer hissing noise, and a roaring sound, and they soon discovered, not an eighth of a mile distant, a monster of the deep advancing rapidly. This monster stood up straight, was apparently as large round as a hogshead, and showed an enormous head and exhibited not less than fifteen or twenty feet of his length. Her advanced a [...]

Hardwood Lake Snake

The Latest Serpent Story A very pronounced fish story comes from Barry county, Michigan, where, we are “told,” a monster resembling a snake is residing in Harwood Lake. It is represented as being about twenty feet long, and from five to seven inches in diameter. It has been seen a number of times – once, last summer, by a Swede, who supposed it to be the devil. The other day his snakeship was seen again by a boy, who was fishing at the time, and had quite a string of fish lying on the bank. The boy says the snake [...]
