Seattle has a hockey team named after the Kraken, a legendary Norse sea monster, but as Mossback's Northwest host, Knute Berger explains, the Northwest has a history of sea monster sightings.
In 1880, a newspaper reported that a marvelous sea serpent had been spotted off Cape Flattery.
There were sightings off Cadboro Bay near Victoria in the 1930s.
These creatures were described as having a long body or neck, sometimes with wings.
People had different impressions of its head though, saying it looked like a dog, a seal, a horse or a sheep.
The sightings became such a sensation that the serpent's renamed Cadboro-saurus or Caddy for short.
Like Big Foot, proof of Caddy's existence remains elusive.
Sightings don't guarantee anything new or unknown is really out there, except maybe the human imagination.
