The sea can be a creepy mistress indeed, as two Reddit threads dedicated to sailors and people who’ve spent time in seclusion reveal. These 16 sailors, fisherman, Navy officers, divers, swimmers, and casual boaters recount bizarre encounters, horrifying sightings, and strange occurrences while out to sea, in the ocean, and hunting in large swamps. You’ll think twice about going near large bodies of water after reading this list.
“My dad and I are fishing off the Florida Keys. We have our anchor out and had been fishing for about an hour. 15 minutes later the boat gets bumped and we rock a little bit, my dad jokingly saying “Looks like jaws is after us better stay away from the edges.” 10 seconds after him saying that the boat begins moving backwards: we are being towed by our anchor line that’s in the water. Whatever has it is now dragging the boat backwards slowly getting faster and our boat is getting pulled under too. Next thing I hear is “No f*cking way” as my dad drops his pole runs from the front to the back grabs a knife and cuts the anchor line.
“After that we decided that fishing was not in the cards that day.”
What do you think?
