In Norway we have Selma in Seljord lake (Seljord vatnet) that have been seen in centuries, around Vancouver Island, in Japan and in Lake Champlain in the U.S.A there is a creature who seem too be of same specie.

In Scandinavian myth there are the Kraken who is a big octopus who lived outside the coast of Norway and in the Atlantic Ocean.

Kraken was just a story until the giant octopus was discovered. it has been found different types of big octopuses who can give credit to the myth.

The sea has always been a mystic place with many strange creatures. Other big sea creatures as the whales and big sharks. They could have been misunderstood when sighted. Maybe a sight of them on distance or in bad weather or mist or fog. Drifting plants from the seafloor could also be misinterpreted in some condition and sea creatures that are found on the seashore dead, can look very different from their living form if the putrefaction have started. They can look so different that even experienced zoologist or biologists can have difficulties with recognize what creature it is.
