Jellyghost!

[Ndukes]

Jellyfish or ghost. We happened upon this strange and sinister looking creature washed up on our local beach today. Time to send for Ghost Busters perhaps.

I guess a ghost , I can not see the pic .

It is indeed a jellyfish (or the remains of one), but not one that I can identify. How big was it? I did wonder if the mangled appearance is because it has been half eaten by a turtle. The Leatherback turtle does get into these latitudes and higher, and feeds mainly on jellyfish.

Having got my zoologists hat off, I think that the it has an amazing resemblance to a spook!

Didn't actually touch it but I'm convinced it was real.

You're lucky Raymond. It's not very nice.

I have no expertise in jellyfish (or ghosts) but it looks to me like one of a large number in various stages of development washed up on our beaches relatively intact. There are a lot of much smaller ones. This one was about 10 to 12 inches long.

Yes Binnur, it was really spooky although my dog wasn't bothered by it.

[Ndukes]

Thank you John and David. I resisted the temptation to bring it home.

[Barbara Ponder]

Great capture and very spooky ooky!

Time to send for Ghost Busters perhaps.

a ghost or a mask from a Greek Tragedy? In either case well caught.

Thanks Barbara. I think I shall not go to the beach after dark.

[Ndukes]

Not on this occasion.

Thank you Brian. I thought you might enjoy this one as I know you have an eye for the unusual.

Thanks Antoine. Great to have the iPhone handy when the camera is back at the house.
