In 2009, four Panamanian teenagers had a terrifying encounter with a pale, spindly armed, hairless being, which they claim they were forced to kill after it attacked them from under the water.
In a span of less than three months two unusual carcasses washed ashore on the same stretch of New Zealand beach. Skeptics maintain that they are nothing more than shark remains, but the photographic evidence may indicate otherwise.
This bizarre, 19th century carcass seems to have synthesized the attributes of an aquatic mammal with those of a crustacean, resulting in one of the most unique marine animals ever to be witnessed by human eyes.
Swept up in the chaos of the World War II, this gigantic, razor-toothed carcass managed to slip out of the scientific journals into the obscurity of local legend.
These incredible remains were made famous in a November 26, 1930, New York Times headline which exclaimed: “ICE BARES STRANGE ANIMAL… ALASKANS SUGGEST PREHISTORIC ORIGIN!”
