Le Serrec Monster
 
 
Robert Le Serrec had a very dramatic experience at Stonehaven Bay, Hook Island, Austrailia when a creature swiftly swam below his boat. According to Le Serrec's story his encounter occurred just off the coast of Queensland, Australia, on December 12th, I964. He was, he said, crossing the shallow waters of Stonehaven Bay in a small boat with his family and a friend, Henk de Jong, when his wife caught sight of a huge, peculiar object on the sandy bottom, less than six feet from the surface. De Jong at first thought it was a large, twisted tree trunk, but it soon became

evident that this was some sort of monstrous creature - a creature shaped like a giant tadpole with an enormous head and tapering serpentine body. Le Serrec took some still photos and then, circling his motor-boat closer, began to film it with a movie camera. As the boat drew near, the witnesses could make out a five-foot-long wound gouged open on the motionless animal's back and could more clearly see the broad head, which greatly resembled a snake's.

At this point the Le Serrec children became extremely frightened. The adults took the youngsters back to shore in the dinghy, then continued their observation of the beast. Since it remained inert, apparently seriously injured or perhaps even dead, they ventured still closer, noting two whitish eyes -located strangely on the top of the head - and regularly spaced bands of brown along the amazing length of the black body. The men decided to dive for a better look, the photographer armed with an undewater camera and his companion with an underwater rifle.

The divers could not get a clear view until they were within twenty feet of the monster. It was truly gigantic - seventy-five to eighty feet long, with four-foot-wide jaws and two-inch eyes that at close range turned out to be pale green. Suddenly, as Le Serrec began filming, the beast began to open and half-close its cavernous jaws "in a menacing manner" and to turn slowly toward the men. Because it was clearly incapacitated, the photographer kept on filming for a short time before he and his friend made their escape. Back aboard the boat, they discovered that the creature had disappeared. Le Serrec's wife had seen it swim out to sea, undulating horizontally - a motion typical of an eel or a reptile, not a mammal.
