Mystery of the 'Loch Thames monster' as man spots 'Godzilla' in London river

Numerous phenomena in the world have captivated our interest. From Bigfoot to UFO sightings, there exists an abundance of unexplained occurrences that leave us perplexed. Now, making way for a new creature, it seems the Loch Ness Monster might have some competition.

Though this creature was sighted a considerable distance away, possibly a few hundred miles south of Scotland, a Reddit user managed to capture a photo of what seemed to be a reptilian being peeking out from the River Thames.

As expected on Reddit, the picture sparked a flurry of speculations from fellow users, and their interpretations were as diverse as they were eccentric. One user humorously coined the term "Thames Anaconda," while another amusingly referred to it as the "Loch Thames monster," adding a touch of humor by likening it to a "poo."

The question was raised: which of these discoveries would be more frightening to encounter floating in your water? The answer was left to the audience's imagination.

In the midst of all the playful banter, one individual managed to insert a political jibe, suggesting that the Royals should be allowed to swim wherever they pleased since it was also their Thames.

Amid the array of imaginative ideas, the consensus among the more creative Reddit users seemed to be that the creature was the "Loch Thames Monster." However, the list of alternative suggestions ranged from Boris Johnson's soul to a catfish and even a whimsical reference to a Teenage Mutant Ninja 'Turdle.' Additionally, there were even lighthearted claims that the sighting could be none other than Godzilla making his way through the London river.

Although the Japanese monster is primarily associated with Japan, it's worth noting that peculiar things have been found in unexpected places. For instance, last year, an enormous snake skin was discovered in the Thames, prompting me to reconsider dismissing suggestions of a reptilian presence lurking beneath the water.

Jason Sandy, who was mudlarking along the river (the act of searching for valuable items in river mud), stumbled upon the five-foot skin on the north side of the Thames near Hammersmith Bridge. The scaly texture indicated that it likely belonged to a boa constrictor, which might have been abandoned or escaped from its owner.

Nevertheless, amidst various theories proposed by Reddit users, one explanation emerged as the most reasonable. They proposed that what appeared to be a mysterious creature in the Thames was, in fact, just a bottle cap resting on a rock. It seems that someone carelessly discarded the cap from their drink over the wall, leading to a viral sensation with speculations ranging from a monster to a giant piece of waste.

The incident serves as a quirky reminder of the unpredictability that can unfold in our country.
