COUSIN OF LOCH NESS MONSTER SPOTTED OFF AUSTRALIAN COAST

CARNARVON, Western Australia (Wireless Flash) -- Things are getting a little fishy in the Australian town of Carnarvon thanks to sightings of a 50-foot-long sea serpent. Australian paranormal researcher Tim Bull reports there have been seven sightings of a gigantic eel-like creature in the past three months. One eyewitness claims the creature came within six feet of a fishing boat and almost caused it to capsize. Australian researchers have nicknamed the enormous creature "Ossie" in tribute to "Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster" -- but the resemblance ends there. Bull says that while Nessie is strictly a freshwater fish, "Ossie" is longer and skinnier, lives in salt water and has square dorsal fins instead of a rounded hump. Bull hopes to get to the bottom of the mystery in August, when he will embark on an expedition to find the mysterious "Ossie."
