Everybody is moving to Texas, and that "everybody" also means monsters.

The Sighting!

Have you ever seen something out of the corner of your eye and thought, "What the heck was that?". Sometimes your eyes deceive you and sometimes it's exactly what you thought it was.

If you look at the picture quickly, then it does look like some kind of sea animal. Some folks have even made it grainy to look more like one of the famous pictures of the Loch Ness Monster. It had me fooled just long enough to think, "poor thing" because I thought it was a wayward seal if not a serpent.

With the above picture you can start making out that it's just some kind of roadside garbage, and probably not a sea serpent. It's amazing how this picture and the power of suggestion by the Houston Police Officers Union made a lot of people pause for just a second.
