MOST of us have come across a
bizarre object during a beach stroll but have usually been able to write
it off as a mangled jelly fish or the half-eaten carcass of some
unfortunate animal.
But sometimes something washes ashore that requires a little more investigation — and even then may remain unexplained.The term for these creatures is, believe it or not, “globster”, which is a technical term used by cryptozoologists and defined as “an unidentified organic mass that washes up on the shoreline of an ocean or other body of water”.
The term was coined by Ivan T. Sanderson in 1962 to describe a marine carcass found on a Tasmanian beach in 1960, which was said to have “no visible eyes, no defined head, and no apparent bone structure.”
Here are 16 of the weirdest, globbliest creatures found on the world’s coastlines that have ever been documented. Only a couple have been explained.
