Joshua Lacheln, whom I know personally, rushed around to see me having taken photographs of something "Really ****** weird!"
Joshua was with his wife taking photographs around the Cumberland Basin area of Bristol at 07:00 hrs when his wife pointed to steps leading up from the Basin onto the motorway. A couple of cyclists (seen in the photo) were looking down at something and Joshua thought it was plastic sheeting they were looking at and that undulating movements were due to a breeze blowing it. However there was no breeze so he got closer and realised that the 'plastic' was moving a sort of 'arm'.
As whatever it was moved downward Joshua and his wife noticed an 'arm' that seemed to be feeling each step as it moved down and another moved through the side of the rails. Joshua's wife was semi shocked but shouted to him: "Joshua -photograph it or no one will believe this!" As he aimed his camera the thing on the steps seemed to "sit up" for a few seconds and he felt it was looking at him and his wife.
Joshua just started taking photographs -some twenty in total, however, he was so scared that he was fumbling and only three came out any good and the others are blurred and not well focussed.
As whatever it was got to the platform step it raised itself up before the 'arms' grabbed the rail and it pulled itself over -the arms then stretched so that the thing lowered itself slowly onto the dock. It then undulated towards the water of the Bristol Channel and "fell in" and was observed moving quite fast in the water until it submerged and was no longer seen. "In the third photo you can see that the cyclists were turning and looking back at the steps. They just seemed stunned and when we called out to them and asked if they had seen the thing the man shook his head and waved his hands and shouted 'We're not getting involved!' and then literally ran along the road -they seemed not to remember they had their bikes and that would have got them out of there fast!"
What is it? I have no idea and at first I thought it was a joke but Joshua was still shaken and you can seen protrubrences all over the body -if you can call it that. I'm stumped but will be paying a visit to the area tomorrow!
