Since the 1930s, people around Victoria, British Columbia, have reported a long, horse-headed sea serpent called 'Caddy'. A carcass from a whale's stomach in 1937 was claimed as a baby. Zoologists now favour known animals, and many scientists read the famous 1937 carcass as a decomposing basking shark.
In the summer of 1891 the Colorado River spilled into the dry Salton Sink and made a real new lake. Within days a “special” dispatch had put a fifty-foot sea serpent in it. Some papers played along, one claimed to confirm it, and Yuma's paper later dismissed the serpent stories as “trash.” Part one of a two-part case.
Six weeks after Phoenix's Salton sea serpent, a Tucson paper told how a fire bell, a frightened teamster and a moonlit crowd led to a seven-headed monster rising from the flooded Santa Cruz and preaching a sermon about rain and real estate. Yuma's paper called it “trash.” Part two of the Salton serpent case.
