The product of many years of deep research, this is a fascinating and comprehensive collection of sightings of mysterious creatures in the waters in and around the British Isles. Every year, millions of people flock to places where sightings have been reported, such is the willingness to believe in the existence of these monsters. Whilst few will admit to having done so for fear of public ridicule, there can be no doubting that terrifying encounters with sea serpents and lake monsters have, for centuries, captivated our imagination. Our lack of total control over and knowledge of the world's oceans - which cover almost three-quarters of the earth's surface - and things which may reside within their dark inpenetrable gloom, adds to the enigma. There is even a reference in Genesis to God creating the great sea monsters and throughout the Old Testament to the leviathan and, undoubtedly, sea-faring folk did witness giant creatures in the seas and oceans, many of which will have been hitherto unknown species. Paul Harrison records and analyses countless sightings of unidentifiable monsters in the British Isles in the hope of bringing us a small step closer to finding the solution to this age-old mystery. An irresistible collection.
