The photograph was posted on a website called Weird Whitstable - an online collection of strange and unusual sightings in the town.

这张照片是被人上传到了一个叫做“惠特斯特布尔奇闻异事”的网站，这个网站上搜罗的都是一些发生在这个小镇里的奇闻异事。

Its curator, Quinton Winter, said that at first he thought the image - sent to him by a follower - showed an unusual sand formation, but that he is now convinced it is a monster of the deep.

该网站的管理者昆顿·温特说他刚收到网友发来的这张图片时，以为是一种不常见的沙洲形状，但是现在他确信这就是深海里的怪物。

Speaking to the Daily Express, he claimed that he saw the giant creature close to the shore when he took his son crabbing last summer.

昆顿称他去年夏天带着儿子去海边捕蟹的时候就看到了这个巨型生物。

He said: 'At first all I could see was some faint movement, then as it rose from the water I thought, "that’s a funny looking bit of driftwood".

他说：“开始我只看到一些轻微的移动，之后它慢慢从水里显露出来时，我还以为是块儿浮木，就是样子有点奇怪。”

'It had glazed blank eyes on stalks, swivelling wildly and it clearly was a massive crab with crushing claws.

“它的触角上有光亮乌黑的眼睛，粗野地打着转，显然是一只有着破坏力很强的蟹钳的大家伙。”
