The acts of serial killer Horace Abberton were deemed so heinous that after his hanging in 1879, his body was dumped and abandoned in the sewers of East London. Reports of sewer maintenance men going missing still occur to this day.

The 'Oceanic Roc' is a giant stork-like creature spotted in remote areas along the east coast of North America. It is supposedly responsible for the disappearance of several fisherman. Empty boats have been found washed ashore with unusually large, gray feathers laying inside.

A mystery carcass found on the shore of the loch in 1968. The official report states that it belonged to "that of a Grey Seal which had succumbed to a novel infection, disfiguring and bloating the body". It was promptly burned "to prevent the spread of the disease" #CursedFootage

Fantastic work! Seeing all of these made me realise I should make more paleoart pieces. Anyone who sees this, please share your own (if you feel like it)! 🦖

Its a #SundayFishSketch and #sciartSeptember crossover tonight and the theme is 'Abstract'. I feel like Pelican Eels (often called Gulper Eels) are like an Abstract expressionist take on fish anatomy. 🐟

I finally managed to finish this painting that I've been working on for weeks! Dearc sgiathanach flies over the Middle-Jurassic Coast of Scotland.
