The Hook Island Sea Monster

The photo has been circulating for years and I always thought it was just a tadpole that was Photoshopped into some huge creature. Then, I learned the photo, one of about three that were taken, has been around for decades, way before photo editing was possible.

It all started in 1964, when Robert Le Serrec and his family bought a boat and decided to holiday for a few months on Hook Island in Stonehaven Bay, Queensland, Australia. On December 12, the family was boating across the bay when Le Serrec’s wife spotted a strange object on the bay floor. Le Serrec began taking photos of what appeared to a large snake-like creature resting on the sea bottom. They estimated it to be about 30 feet in length.

They slowly moved closer and Le Serrec decided to get in the water to see what it was (too brave for my taste!). Underwater, he realized it was much larger than first estimated. It didn’t move when approached. He thought whatever it is, it must be dead. Just as Le Serrec got closer, the creature opened its mouth and began moving. Frightened, he quickly made his way back to the boat. By the time he got on board, the creature was gone.

The pictures were initially published in Australia’s Everyone magazine and have since been widely distributed. The other photos depict what appear to be eyes located on the top of the head, and what could possibly be a wound on the right side of its tail. The creature was described as black in color, with some brown striping and smooth skin. Le Serrec saw no teeth inside its wide mouth. No real explanation, however, has ever been found for whatever was photographed that day.
