Wick Sea Monster Sighting
Out in the choppy waters off Wick, a strange encounter took place on 21 September 1938. The crew of a cargo ship reported being stalked by a bizarre sea creature for a good half hour. This beastie was said to have a body measuring around three metres in length, with a rather long neck of about 1.2 metres and an oval-shaped head. It's not every day you get to see something like that swimming alongside your ship, especially in the rough seas of the Highlands.
The year 1938 was a tumultuous one, with the world on the brink of war. But out in the far north of Scotland, it seems that the crew of this cargo ship had a rather more unusual encounter to contend with. The fact that multiple crew members reported seeing this creature suggests that it was a genuine, if inexplicable, sighting. Cryptozoology enthusiasts still get excited about this one, and who can blame them? It's a fascinating glimpse into the unknown depths of our oceans.
The interwar period saw a surge in reported sea monster sightings
