This article was originally written for a paranormal magazine called The Paranormal Journal, it became known as The Underground Files covering ghosts, ufos, cryptozoology, and government conspiracies amongst others. I no longer write for the magazine and it is no longer in existence. Block Nessie Found in June 1996. Some say it’s sturgeon, while others say it’s a shark. It has also been given the name the Block Ness Monster. A mysterious 14ft serpentine skeleton, dragged by a fisherman’s net on Block Island was located 14 miles off the Rhode Island Coast. Then the skeleton was stolen. Kidnapped. The kidnappers have said they were worried it would be removed from the island and never seen again. They also state ‘nicking’ the fish would give publicity for the island. As long as there’s mystery, there are more goodies to sell, people will spend $18.00 to buy a Block Ness Monster T-shirt, the shirts have hit the shelves of local stores; they’re backs show a snake like creature wrapped around the island. Two fishermen aboard the Mad Monk cast their nets for monkfish and came up with the corpse amongst the catch. They displayed it near where the ferry is at Point Judith docks. The spine stretches further than two men and is attached to a narrow head with vacant like fisheyes. It had weird whiskers and feelers on its brow or jaw. It drew curiosity seekers to the old harbour for two days. “Probably more people walked down there in two days than in the whole of the century, just about,” said Chris Littlefield, one of 800 year-round residents of the Island. Disembarking from the ferry on one of the two days, New York State park biologist Lee Scott recalls saying, “What the heck is that? I went back to my car and got the camera.” He took the skeleton back to his island summer home and put it in his freezer to preserve it from decay, planning to ship it to the mainland for examination at the National Marine Fisheries Service in Narragansett. On the island, it’s supposed to be safe to leave doors unlocked; Scott Lee did just that, on his return home it had been stolen by the kidnappers. Lisa Natanson says it’s a shark; she’s a specialist with the fisheries service. A local bar sells Block Ness Cocktails. Lee Scott says, after the tourist season, the kidnappers plan to give him back the specimen. Jay Pinney, the man responsible for the T-shirts, Lisa Natanson wants one, by the way, as they’re said to be very hard to get hold of with the rush for them; a glorious afternoon, and Pinney announces, “I’m going to jump in the water. Hope I don’t meet any monsters.” Island skullduggery here… Call for Scoobydoo!!! Block Nessie written by Bill Barber |
