Sink into the depths… The great oceans of the world have long been considered alien environments said to harbor strange creatures and unfathomable mysteries. This new book from full-time monster hunter Neil Arnold examines the maritime-rich heritage surrounding the coastline of Britain and the mysterious activity said to take place there. Shadows on the Sea explores eerie stories of phantom ships upon frothing waves, sailor’s stories, fishermen’s tales and impossible monsters said to hide within the inky depths, not forgetting weird tales of USOs – unidentified submarine-type objects – and other mysterious lights witnessed out at sea. Compiling hundreds of stories and many eyewitness accounts, from the spine-chilling to the utterly bizarre, this volume is an exploration of the unknown that takes the reader on a voyage through strange tales and roaring seas.
Neil Arnold is a full-time folklorist, monster-hunter, author and speaker. He has written several books, many articles and conducts talks on his investigations. A member of the Centre for Fortean Zoology, he has been consulted widely for television and radio and his 2007 book Monster! was voted Fortean Zoology Book of the Year.
