CY writes in saying he’s off to Bermuda on Sunday, and wondering what he should keep an eye out for there.

One of the strangest cryptozoological mysteries of the Caribbean is the Lusca, a giant octopus-like cephalopod said to live in the “blue holes” (narrow pits that plunge as much as 200 feet straight down through rock) of Andros and the Grand Bahama islands in the Bahamas, the Caicos Islands, and off Cuba.

I have always wondered if the blue holes of Bermuda could hide a Lusca or two. Or even the cenotes of the Yucatan?

While Bahamas’ blue holes get most of the attention, there are blue holes in Bermuda too. Indeed, one of Bermuda’s major tourist attraction is the Devil’s Hole, a blue hole.

An interesting footnote to be conscious of for CY leaving for Bermuda on Sunday, July 5th, is that he may be there for the Full Moon of July 7. The Lusca reportedly surfaces at night when the moon is full. It is said to drag boats and fisherman into the water with its tentacles. Watch out.

I wonder what pops up on the waters of the Caribbean near Bermuda when the moon is full. (Play “Twilight Zone” music now.)

Maybe CY and friends will tell us when they return.
