Sea serpents are a kind of sea monster either wholly or partly serpentine. Sightings have been reported for hundreds of years, and recent work by Bruce Champagne indicates that there have been 1200 or more all told. Sea serpents have been seen from both ship and shore, and by multiple persons at once, groups that sometimes count scientists among their number. Despite the numerous sightings, though, no credible physical evidence has been recorded and it is uncertain whether or not the serpents actually exist.
Skeptics and debunkers have time and again questioned the authenticity of sightings, putting forward in place of serpents cetaceans, sea snakes, eels, basking sharks, baleen whales, oarfish, large pinnipeds, seaweed, driftwood, flocks of birds, and giant squid as the creature or creatures seen (see Notable Cases, above, on giant squid).
While most Cryptozoologists recognize that at least some reports are simple misidentifications, they point out that many of the creatures described by those who have seen them look nothing like the known species put forward by skeptics and claim that certain reports stick out. For their part, the skeptics remain unconvinced, time and again pointing out that imagination has a way of twisting and inflating the slightly out-of-the-ordinary until it becomes extraordinary.

Prehistoric animals (sea serpents); Nessie, Chessie, etc.... Demons??? Sea Demons? You need to find another topic of interest to read and be sure to check if it is fiction or non-fiction.
