In 1939, reports came in that a sea serpent had washed up on Point Grey Beach in Vancouver. However sightings of these creatures off the North Atlantic coast go back more a hundred years.
On January 14, 1939, Johnnie Davies was fishing on Williams Lake, British Columbia when he hooked something that not only pulled ferociously, but which he could see was a huge, dark shape beneath the ice. He tried to hold on but ended up letting go. According to him he thought it was the famed Ogopogo usually seen at Okanagan Lake. Fishermen in the area said he had probably hooked a land-locked sturgeon.
It seems that January was a busy month for unusual finds. In the cornfields of C.B. Campbell, who lived near Lynch, Nebraska a dust storm exposed the fossil of a monster that later was dubbed a "sea serpent".
