Newfoundland SEA MONSTERS:

Strange Sightings, unusual Animals & Chilling encounters

On Newfoundland’s foggy coast, not everything strange is imagined —and not everything real can be explained.

The following tales are drawn from ‘sea monster’ sightings reported in the Newfoundland headlines — real accounts from people who lived and worked on the water. These stories may not all point to undiscovered creatures, but they remind us that even in well-known harbours and fishing grounds, the sea still has its secrets. And those secrets can surprise, unsettle, and leave even the most seasoned mariners with more questions than answers.
