Could a strange creature be living in the waters of Dublin’s River Liffey? This strange theory came from a video posted on TikTok by Seán Hawkins. Intrigued, he reportedly spotted an unusually shaped “creature” advancing through the waters of the Irish capital. Although the images are far from clear, that’s all it took to create a buzz and fascinate Dubliners!
It’s enough to steal the show from the Loch Ness monster! The rather enigmatic video on TikTok was an opportunity for the local population to have fun and come up with all kinds of explanations.
The images show a sort of head emerging from the surface of the water. The creature seems to be dragging around a black cape, and is moving forward quietly, carried by the current. The proof is in the pictures:

The video’s author, Seán (@chickengousean), asked people on the platform for their theories: “What’s that thing swimming in the Liffey today?”
And the answers are quite tasty… While many have suggested a pile of floating debris (the most plausible explanation), others have compared the monster to Harry Potter’s Detractor, Darth Vader, or other creepy mystical creatures.
The video now has over 52,000 likes and has been shared over 1,000 times. Proof that it didn’t take much to cause a sensation!
What about you? What’s your theory?
