-
- PARTON residents are baffled
by what has been described as a "mini Loch Ness Monster" washed
up on their beach.
-
- Joan Singleton, from Firth View was strolling on the
foreshore near to where Lowca Beck flows out to sea when she came upon
the "monster".
-
- She alerted friends, saying she had never seen anything
like it.
-
- Jack Southam, skipper of the Whitehaven sea angling charterboat
Riptide, said on seeing a photograph of it: "I have never seen anything
like this in all my years at sea."
-
- Another Parton resident told The Whitehaven News: "It
seems to have a seal's body, the tail of a whale, fins on top and sides,
but also claws and really sharp teeth."
