The Loch Ness Monster Spotted Hundreds Of Miles From Home

Well, maybe.

Remember the giant crab that was spotted in a harbour town in Kent in 2014? Well, I grew up in that town, Whitstable. Take it from me, having crabbed there since a child, I have never caught anything larger than a small rock.

The claim that there is a giant beast lurking beneath the surface of the water is bollocks.

So, as I read yet another claim of an unknown beast swimming in British waters, forgive me for sounding skeptical.

Apparently, the Loch Ness monster has finally appeared from the water for its adorning fans. That's according to pictures published in the Daily Star anyway.

The mythical sea monster allegedly emerged from the Thames in London. Your guess as to how she got there is as good as mine.

Jonathan Jones, 23, claims to have witnessed the rare occurrence. "I've never seen anything like it," he said.

On a tourist visit to the capital city, Jones and his friend were reportedly sitting for five minutes when a dark shadow appeared in the murky water of the Thames.

"It looked like a shark at first," he said. "I'm hoping it was Nessie though - if not some other kind of lost sea creature."

Considering how filthy the Thames looks, all kinds of monsters could be mutating in those waters to be fair.

I very much doubt it was Nessie, though, lads.
