On today’s episode of Caribbean Mystics Podcast a fisherman recounts a mystifying experience one evening while fishing in the channel between Water Island and St. Thomas. An encounter with a creature of unknown origins shifts this fisherman’s perspective of the reality of an ancient Cryptid. Location: Water Island (US Virgin Islands) We extend a special bow of gratitude to Clyde Tapp who graciously shared this story with us and Colleen Tapp who drew his depiction of what he saw that night.
