A Free Diver Was Taken By A Riptide And What Happens Next Is Incredible
We've been
taught to fear riptides and underwater currents. They're all-consuming. Their
power is unmatched when you're caught off guard by the ocean. But what if you
could harness them for good?
Filmmaker
Julie Gautier and freediver Guillaume Néry recently collaborated to make an
amazing short film that depicts the strange beauty of movement underwater. For
the film, entitled "Ocean Gravity," they decided to capture Néry deep
under water near the Tuamotu
Archipelago in French Polynesia, at the Tiputa
Pass in Rangiroa.
The film
shows Néry as an underwater current guides him effortlessly across the ocean
floor. It's mesmerizing to watch, serving as an incredible example of the
strange characteristics of life deep in the ocean.
This
makes me want to experience ocean currents for myself. The currents run for
thousands of miles around the world, and it's awesome to see someone getting to
swim in one of these natural wonders.
Security Cameras At Disneyland Caught Something Bizarre On Film...Unbelievable
It's a well
known fact that there are some creepy Disneyland urban legends. One of those
legends is that the park is haunted by various ghosts, including the ghost of
Walt Disney himself.
A few years
ago, security cameras at the park allegedly caught one of these ghosts walking
around at night. The quality of the video is not great, but you can clearly see
there is something there that should not be.
Take a look
for yourself below. It's chilling.
The Real (And Horrible) Sea Creatures These People Discovered Will Give You Chills
When you're a
fisherman, you can expect to see some pretty crazy things while out at sea.
Sure, the bobbing blue of the ocean might get tedious after a while, but the
stuff you pull from its depths can be nothing short of shocking.
Recently,
Garry Warrick of South Australia reeled in a mean-looking fish that had two
mouths...but that's not the weirdest thing that popped out of the deep ocean.
These other creatures have either been caught by anglers or washed ashore...and
they're all a little more than creepy
1. Goblin Shark
The Goblin
Shark is a deep-sea shark that can grow to well over 20 feet in length. It is
called a ‘Goblin Shark’ because it looks super freaky, what many think a goblin
might look like. It has crazy long evil teeth and a big horn thing on top of
it’s head. This creepy shark was
caught by fisherman outside of Australia. It's rare to see a goblin shark near
the surface, since usually this creature lives near the bottom of the ocean
2. A giant oarfish
This large, serpent-like fish is also a deep sea dweller. It is rare to see, but in the past 5 years there have been multiple instances of these fish washing ashore.
3. A South American pachu fish
This frightening fish that
was caught has been known to feed on the testicles of those who go into its
territory. Not only that, but this one in particular was found in Michigan. Not
South America.
4. The giant Lion's Mane jellyfish
From time to time,
jellyfish wash ashore. However, it's rare to see one like THIS, the giant
Lion's Mane jellyfish. (Important note: the Lion's Mane is one of the largest
jellyfish in the world.)
5. A lancetfish
Lancetfish typically stick to the open
ocean...and you should be glad they do. (Just look at those razor-sharp teeth.)
However, a fisherman in North Carolina was able to pull this terrifying beauty
in. Don't worry, though. The fish is a known cannibalistic species, so at the
very least, it would probably avoid humans. Probably.

Another amazing discovery was made,statue of Buddha is actually a mummy.
Mummy in 12th century bouddha statue
CT scan reveals that statue of Buddha is actually a mummy Last
year the statue was released from China for the first time. It was put on
display on Drents Museum in Netherlands. Later it was taken to Meander Medical
Center where it received a CT scan and clearly showed a mummified body inside.
An endoscopy was performed which revealed that the body was of Buddhist master
Liuquan of the Chinese Meditation School. Another amazing discovery was made,
within the mummy where there once were organs paper scraps imprinted with
ancient Chinese characters were found. Samples of bones were taken for DNA
testing and the research will be published in a monograph. The mummy is
currently visiting Hungary and will be on display at the Hungarian Natural
History Museum until May 2015.
