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.
