Sadness has descended upon a Welsh town after a huge piece of driftwood, likened to the Loch Ness Monster, was swept back out to sea after charming residents for nearly two years. The strange sensation reportedly began back in March of 2024 when the sizeable debris washed ashore in the coastal community of Porthcawl. The enormous piece of driftwood resembling a lizard crawling along the beach quickly took on a life of its own as it was soon adorned with eyes, a long tongue, and a set of humps to complete the monstrous look. Dubbed 'Lizzy the Logness Monster,' the debris became an unlikely mascot to the community and something of a tourist attraction until a powerful storm struck the town this past weekend and took the creature with it.
