Man spots strange creature in ocean

In the viral video, a guy is standing on a wooden structure on the beach and zooming into the ocean where the waves are breaking.

A long black thing is floating on top of the water that looks an ordinary bit like a huge piece of wood or metal at first.

However, a snake-like hump then emerges out of the water and quickly retracts back underneath the shore.

“Can anyone explain what this is?” the TikTok user Gavin Cox wrote in the caption with two mind blown emojis. “I found Nessy.”

‘It’s the Loch Ness Monster’

By “Nessy,” he is referring to the Loch Ness Monster, a famous mythical creature from old Scottish folklore.

It’s said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands and is described as large and long-necked with one or more humps protruding from the water.

In the comments, people are in agreement that it looks like the creature, with one person writing: “That’s the Loch Ness Monster.”

“The Loch Ness Monster has moved from lakes to the ocean,” said another.

A third person added: “Nessie! Nessie! Nessie!”

Some say it’s an oarfish

Others say it’s an oarfish, but many aren’t convinced as the creature looks far too big and the species doesn’t often come to the surface.

Someone commented: “It’s a doomsday fish aka oarfish. They live super deep in the ocean and only surface to die.”

“If that’s an oarfish that’s the biggest oarfish ever recorded,” another argued.

A third person added: “That’s not an oarfish. Far too large.”

“Marine bilogist here! Not an oarfish due to the shallowness of the water,” someone else agreed.

Some think it must be a tree, some seaweed or a piece of trash – or perhaps the Loch Ness Monster is real. I guess we’ll never know!
