'Loch Ness Monster' spotted in the Bristol Channel

A mystery ‘sea creature’ has been spotted off in the Bristol Channel, with witnesses comparing the strange-looking beast to the Loch Ness monster.

Visitors to the Somerset seaside town of Clevedon at the weekend, were shocked to see what looked like an aquatic anomaly paddling in the water next to the town’s Victorian pier. Several feet long, the creature was snapped by many puzzled observers, who were trying to work out exactly what it was, reports Somerset Live.

The estuary has welcomed other creatures including porpoises, the odd dolphin and seals. And while this latest visitor to the waters off Somerset could well have been one of those, the pictures taken certainly conjure up images of the type of beast usually associated with the famous Scottish loch.
