seamonster in Cornwall
i've just had an email from a mate who lives in Falmouth (Cornwall) and his mate has claimed to have seen a sea monster in Falmouth bay.
He has supposedly been on the local news, and the email said that he also has a picture.
It sounds like an myth to me, but is there any truth about sea monsters in Cornwall?

Errr just one question first, how many pubs are there around Falmouth bay.
But there is some history to this story, In the ancient language of Cornwall, the name MORGAWR, meaning 'Sea Giant', describes an enormous marine monster which lives in the waters of Falmouth Bay. A long-necked sea-serpent, similar in appearance to the famous 'Nessie' of Loch Ness.
Cornwall is known as the 'Land of Legend' and, until fairly recently, the Great Cornish Sea-Serpent was regarded as part of that legend; a romantic rumour, a mythological beast, a figment of the Celtic imagination, along with piskies, mermaids and spriggans. However, a hundred years ago, a long-necked monster was caught by fishermen in Gerrans Bay. Fifty years later, a Mr. Reece and a Mr. Gilbert, trawling three miles south of Falmouth netted an amazing creature. It was twenty feet long, with an eight foot tail, a 'beaked' head, scaly legs, and a broad back covered with 'matted brown hair'. Marine Biologists of the day were unable to identify the beast.
Hello ieatbees, it would be great if you could go to www.flindell.com and post your friend's email address on the forum. Thanks!
