Forbidden from Shark Week: Shark Shamans & Demons

Some stories are forbidden from Shark Week because they’re too metaphysical, like historical accounts of shark shamans and demons. Rob Counts wanted to uncover them anyway.

A newspaper article from 1884 that said Thomas Edison hunted a “demon shark” with electricity—which was really weird! With Shark Week upon us, Rob had to research more. What he uncovered wasn’t just a shark cryptid. It wasn’t just a Megalodon. It was an entire history of sea monsters and cryptids being seen in distant cultures across the globe.

Giant squids have been found, so the Megalodon isn’t hard to believe. The Kraken, Leviathan, water demons, and more were documented attacking people in historical legends. So is it possible that people even further back in ancient history encountered similar fearsome creatures, or even worse ones, and figured out how to deal with them, as well?

This is Metaphysical, so Rob had to look back—to the original chroniclers of local island folklore, old newspapers, accounts from Marco Polo, and creation stories across Oceania. He needed to know: could they have been documenting something terrifyingly real that was seen in all these places?

If you thought Shark Week was wild, just get ready. These are the shark stories they’ll never tell you on Shark Week.
