About the strange creatures that live in the canals of Birmingham

Of all the many mysterious scary creatures that inhabit our planet, such as Bigfoot, Chupacabra, Nessie, and others, the most terrible probably are not the ones hiding in the distant woods, the jungle or remote mountain areas, and those who live just beyond the threshold of our homes. Because it's one thing to read about the meeting with the mysterious monsters somewhere in the distant exotic countries, and quite another thing to understand that such creatures can live just steps away from you.

Nick Redfern, working on the website on the paranormal mysteriousuniverse.org in his new article told about the canals in Birmingham (UK). According to nick, he grew up near Birmingham and it's a big and modern city, but its historical part there are many more places that are almost unchanged since the middle ages, when Birmingham was famous as a market town. Among them, the vast network of water channels.

The "heart" system, canals Birmingham is a Bay called Gas Street Beissen (Gas Street Basin), which is a popular landmark of the city. But the most interesting is not the Bay itself, and those beings or creature that live in it.

In his book "A Manifestation of Monsters" ("Manifestations of monsters") released in 2015, Dr. Karl Suker writes about canal Gas Street Basin the following lines:

"In 1997, there was observed a creature similar to a long sea eel, which was even named "the monster with Gas Street". One angler described it as a black creature with a length of 20 feet (6 meters) with small eyes-beads".

According to nick, he heard many times stories about this "Ugra", which is told in the 80-ies. Of course if it's regular acne, there is no cause for concern, but when told about the giant length up to 6 meters, it is scary. Examining messages about the eel-giant for several years, Nick has collected nine individual stories about the encounters with these creature of which only one case had on the Bay Gas Street Beissen, and the rest were from other canals, some of which were 3 miles away from each other. Thus there is possibly inhabited by a group of "acne"?

Especially nick remembered the case came from employees locksmith company serving one of the sections of the canals of Birmingham. It happened in the late 80-ies and the employees had lunch. They stood near the canal and threw the ducks floating in the water, pieces of bread from their sandwiches. And suddenly, they froze with fear, seeing how the water floats a large creature similar to an eel, but much more at length and in proportions. And this creature is clearly aimed at the ducks who were busy absorption of bread. Fortunately, nothing happened, preobrazenie creature did not attack the birds, and swam on and in a few moments disappeared in the waters of the canal.

Another case of observation lay at the end of 1979 or beginning of 1980 and was featured in the canal near Rotten Park Road.

The place is notable for the fact that in 2003 the water here was discovered a dead Python with a length of 4.5 meters and a Royal service animal rescue for a long time engaged in this case ill-treatment of reptile.

Later in the same place several times saw in the water a great "acne" and all these cases occurred in the night. And people saw the creature crawled out of the water. Eels, by the way, know how to do so too. Even more worryingly, sightings of huge eels in the canals of Birmingham to coincide with the time of the mysterious disappearances of a number of Pets, including cats and rabbits. At the end of his message, Nick concludes that in the waters of Birmingham's most likely inhabits abnormally huge acne or more acne. And it is in the heart of a major developed modern city. Hundreds of thousands of local residents each day pass by these channels and do not realize that the monsters "live on the doorstep of their homes."
