Shoggoth Found in Barbados

A while ago I posted The Occult Source for Shoggoths, about factual -both pre-and post- Lovecraft- sightings of creatures called Ommiths, which have been posited as the inspiration for Lovecraft's Shoggoths. I also hinted at further revelations. Said promise will have to wait a while to be fulfilled, for the second volume of my new, fuller translation of the Necronomicon was cut short at the ladst moment, by demand of Valencia University in Montecruz, forcing me to excise all the material pertaining the Races -including the chapters on the Elder Race and the Shoggoths- and limiting the tome to Mythos cosmology, the nature of Azathoth and the Court of the Other Gods, and the generations of the Great Old Ones.

Now, I believe it is mandatory to bring forth volume three of the book, due to things that have recently occurred in my country (about which I will post in a day or two), but also because, amazingly, video evidence has been published today of what appears to be a fragment of Shoggoth matter. Found, and filmed, by @sunnyarkade in Saint Lucia, in the Barbado islands, the strange, shapeless black living thing has been dubbed by popular opinion as a Marvel Comics Venom-like Symbiote, but while it does look somewhat like the Symbiote in the recent film, what we are seeing clearly fits Lovecraft's -and Alhazred's- descriptions of Shoggoths:


As to what the significance is of the presence of Shoggoths in the islands, it brings to mind Lovecraft's allusion to the presence of Shoggoths in alliance with the Deep Ones, hidden in the shuttered houses of Innsmouth, before the tragic 1927-1928 government raid.
