Reported to have been seen in 1457, 1757 and 1995, this sea monster is said to have the head of a seahorse but the tail of a fish. Robert Westwood, in his 'Mysterious Places of Dorset', points out that the earlier sighting in 1457 was actually of a giant cockerel which emerged from the sea and crowed three times before submerging.
