Mythical creatures that actually exist

If you're swimming in the ocean and hear this super loud rumbling sound, run fast. It just might be the bloop. So what's the bloop? The bloop is the name given to the loudest sound ever recorded in the ocean and when you hear it, you're never going swimming again. At first scientists thought the sound came from a marine animal like a whale, but this sound was much louder than any sound a whale could make. The frequency actually consisted of rapid vibration similar to other marine animals kind of like whales. But what makes the bloop sound even scarier is the fact that it was picked up by sensors spaced out over 3,000 miles apart in the ocean. Many people claim that it came from this super massive creature living in the ocean. And no, it wasn't Yamaha. If the bloop was actually a real creature, people estimate it to be over 300 feet long. But scientists actually claim that the sound comes from icebergs breaking in Antarctica. Here's the sound. And if you think the bloop is scary, wait until you see these next creatures. They get scary as we go through this video and the last one's the scariest of all. And guys, if you really like the bloop, I made this bloop plus sheet just for you guys. Look at it. Link's in the description. In 2003, sonar scans near the Puerto Rico Trench, one of the deepest parts of the Atlantic, picked up movements that resembled a living creature the size of a skyscraper. The locals actually named this creature El Gran Maja. El Gran Maja is estimated to be over 2,000 feet long, which means it's twice as big as the bloop. Some say it actually looks like a giant gulper eel with a tail. It was first spotted in 1563 by a Spanish sailor named Diego. He said that while on a research expedition on a clear blue day, the ocean turned violet and the sky turned black out of nowhere. At first, he thought it was just a storm, but as he looked out into the sea, he described what he saw was this massive beast as large as 12 ships in the distance. Diego said that it had a Y-shaped head, six small white eyes, and a huge mouth with extremely long sharp yellow teeth. Many years later, in the 1990s, a submarine crew claimed they encountered a giant sea serpent that came out of the deep ocean smiling at them. But before they could capture the creature on camera, it quickly vanished back into the ocean. Some researchers believe El Gran Maja might not be a singular creature at all, but a species that has mastered the art of deep-sea camouflage, blending in with the ocean floor for decades at a time. Locals actually claim that when the ocean is unusually quiet at night, you can sometimes hear a low hum or vibration. Some say it's the heartbeat of El Gran Maja. Even modern-day shipping crews have reported weird malfunctions in their equipment when passing through certain parts of the Caribbean, GPS glitches, depth readings off the charts, and strange shadows moving beneath the hull of the ship. And unlike the blue, El Gran Maja doesn't make any noise, it watches. With six glowing eyes and a mouth full of long, big yellow teeth, like me, if that massive sea serpent just gave you nightmares, buckle up, cause Japan just said, hold my ramen. Of course it's Japan, bro. Japan fishermen and sailors in the South Antarctic Oceans have reported sightings of a strange-looking creature they call the Ningen. The Ningen is said to be a creature that are kind of like mermaids or sirens and trick you into going underwater and bringing you to your death. But the Ningen is actually so much bigger, like 60 to 100 feet long. In 2005, Google Earth captured this strange-looking sea monster near Namibia, but people claimed that it was just an iceberg. Then in 2007, some Japanese researchers saw a creature near their ship and they thought it was a submarine. But as they got closer, the creature quickly vanished into the waves. In 2010, some Japanese researchers picked up this large creature on camera with small eyes and a smiling mouth lying on the ocean floor. Some said it was just an unusual rock formation that had two small sponges where the eyes would be. Others claimed that it was just a snaggletooth sneeze snake. And no, it wasn't me. Also in 2010, this image was captured showing this large humanoid sea creature captured swimming in the ocean. Almost all people who see the Ningen claim that it had a large head with a smiling mouth and two human hands with a long whale-like tail. Some even say that the Ningen can walk upright on land, kind of like a human. But scientists claim that the people have misidentified the Ningen and what you actually see are Beluga whale's iceberg or maybe even giant squid. Since we have only discovered about 10 to 20% of the ocean, it is possible that there is some new scary creature living in the deep cold waters of the ocean. For now, we call it the Ningen, which means human in Japanese. Since we're already in Japan, we may as well talk about the Umibozu, one of the ocean's most passive-aggressive demons. The water goes dead silent like the ocean forgot how to exist. That's your only water. Daboom! Waves explode out of nowhere and your ship is done. The Umibozu appear right after the water's calm when they are known to stir up the water then rush to crash your ship. But that's not even the scariest part though. Some people said they sometimes will ask you for a barrel so they can drink some water. But what they really do is pour the water into your ship while they watch your ship slowly sink. Like it's pranking you while you die. Oh, oh, scary! Some say the Umibozu does this just to watch how people panic, like the ocean version of a Twitch streamer. These legendary creatures are also known as Sea Monks. This is because they are gigantic and bald, like me. Some say they have snake-like limbs and have been seen by many fishermen over the years. Others claim they are small and often attack groups, kind of like mermaids. Some eyewitnesses said their towering black shadows with glowing eyes but no visible face. Their long snake-like arms reach out of the mist like wet horror noodles. There's even a theory that every time someone dies mysteriously at sea, it's because an Umibozu got bored and wanted some entertainment. So after hearing about a giant pale sea humanoid with human hands and a permanent smile, you'd think we peaked, but the ocean said, nah, let's bring out the OG boss fight. Right when you think the ocean couldn't get any more disrespectful, it throws tentacles at you the size of telephone poles. If you thought Antarctic mermaids were bad, wait till you meet the creature that eats whales for breakfast and ship crews for fun. Because while the Ningen and Umibozu might haunt your dreams, the Kraken is the reason sailors don't sleep at all. Of all the sea monsters, myths, and legends, the Kraken is the closest to being real and is even scarier than the Bloop or Megalodon. So what exactly is the Kraken? For centuries, stories of a massive sea creature have haunted sailors across the open seas. Some claim that it was so big, it could even cause whirlpools that would suck entire ships down. In the 1700s, Vikings claimed they saw sea monsters that rivaled their ships in size. They claimed that their ships were pulled underwater by a huge creature with long arms or octopus-like tentacles. In 1873, some fishermen saw a mass floating before them. Once they got closer, they discovered that the creature had the beak the size of a 6 gallon keg, tentacles longer than two men, and the ability to spew ink. Although the beast was able to escape the two men, they did hack off two of its tentacles. There were even stories of fishermen seeing the flaming eyes of the sea that would give them nightmares. I mean it's the ocean bro, of course it's gonna give you nightmares. Even in modern times, there are still stories of mysterious sea creatures with long arms that attack ships and submarines. Now there are giant squids which are actually big enough to attack sperm whales since sperm whales actually hunt them for food. But there are actually different versions and stories of what the Kraken would actually look like. In Pirates of the Caribbean, it looked more like a giant octopus. In Clash of the Titans, which relates back to Greek mythology, it was more of a giant creature that could stand on its legs and take out the entire cities on the coast. In July 2012, scientists filmed a massive sea creature 55 meters long and 2,000 feet deep in the ocean. This creature was a giant squid, but was estimated to only be a baby version of how big it could actually get. And yeah, science says giant squid. So yeah, science calls the Kraken a giant squid. But hey, scientists also called Pluto a planet, didn't they change their mind? So who knows, maybe. There's even a theory that the Kraken is actually a colossal squid, which is even bigger and more terrifying than a giant squid. And the worst part? We've only seen one in decent condition. The rest? Shredded like calamari confetti at 4,000 feet deep in the ocean. Some deep sea researchers actually believe there's a version of the Kraken that evolved in complete darkness. That means no light, no color, just a floating blind death machine with arms longer than school buses and a brain smart enough to play with its food. But also, let's not forget this beautiful nightmare fuel. A squid's tentacles can still move after they're cut off. That's right, the Kraken has respawn energy. Oh my god! So yeah, maybe the Kraken was a giant squid, or maybe the squid is just the Kraken's awkward little cousin. And the next real boss is still hiding down there, waiting for the sequel. So the Kraken might crush your ship, snatch your crewmates, and yeet you into the abyss, but the Leviathan? That thing will just erase you. If the Kraken was a sea monster, then the Leviathan is the entire ocean's evil older brother. You thought tentacles were bad? Try an ancient sea god with world-ending vibes. The most well-known creature of all time is the Leviathan. We're not talking about your average fish here. This is the ocean's walking red flag, the original sea monster that hunted in humanity's nightmares for literally thousands of years. The Leviathan actually sums up all the mysterious creatures of the sea. From Moby Dick to deep sea dragons to a gigantic unknown beast that haunts the oceans, the Leviathan is the most common name used across the world through time. And many people have actually also claimed that the Leviathan would be one sea creature that could end the entire world. Some myth and legends even say it has multiple heads, while others claim it's so massive that it's body wraps around the entire earth. Basically, if the Kraken is a horror movie, the Leviathan is the whole genre, bro. But what exactly is the Leviathan? The most accurate description that is actually scientifically based is a giant whale. There was a massive whale called the Livyatan whale, which some called a Leviathan, and that thick beast could even take out a Megalodon. This thing was the ocean's apex predator about 12 million years ago. It actually looked like a swole sperm male that came with a mouth full of one-foot-long dagger teeth on both jaws. That's like a shark at a sewer factory had a baby. Actually, their teeth are some of the biggest of any animal to ever exist. They're considered to be one of the biggest known predators to ever live in the ocean, and they even sound freaky. What if you were swimming in the ocean and heard this sound? But some say the Reaper Leviathan is even scarier. What exactly is the Reaper Leviathan? It's a 180-foot-long sea monster with powerful muscles, making it fast and deadly. It has horns on top of its head and these mandibles on its face to grab its prey, which also means you. Since it lives in a deep sea, it uses echolocation to navigate, which means it sees you before you see it. And what it looks like isn't the scariest part. Wait till you hear what it sounds like. Now, the Reaper Leviathan was just a creature from a game, but this next one is 100% real. The Megalodon has actually been extinct for over 2 million years, or has it? 10 million years ago, the Megalodon ruled the ocean as the top apex predator, but in recent years, rumors of the Megalodon sightings have persisted. In 2012, during a rescue operation, a massive shark was spotted, which estimated the shark to be over 60 feet long and is still unidentified to this day. In 2022, some whale researchers claimed to have seen this massive shark over 60 feet long appear near their ship, but other scientists claim it was just a whale shark. But the researchers said that due to the fin size and shape, they assumed that it couldn't have been a whale shark. Also in 2022, some scientists discovered a shark graveyard off the coast of Australia. Of course it was Australia, bro. As they were dragging their nets, gathering animals to study, they were shocked when they found hundreds of shark teeth. Some of the shark teeth they found belonged to makos, great whites, and a shark they believed to have evolved from the Megalodon. A single Megalodon tooth is larger than a human hand, estimating it to be over 70 feet long and weigh over 140,000 pounds. That boy thick. Boy, he thick! And with a bite force of over 40,000 pounds per square inch, it had the strongest bite force of any animal that ever existed. Not only could they bite a whale in half, but they could also swallow a human whole. But scientists just discovered something crazy, and this is going to blow your mind. Most people think the Megalodon looks like a great white shark, but that's not what the Megalodon actually looked like. Yeah, Hollywood got it wrong. Go figure. A great white shark is actually made for burst speed for their hunting strategy, but since the Megalodon was a much bigger beast, they were way slower than a great white shark. The Megalodon needed to eat about 2,500 pounds of food per day, which is the same as a humpback whale. So in order for these sharks to be more efficient, their bodies wouldn't be these thick round beasts, but rather longer and skinnier, kind of like a lemon shark. But this actually means that the Megalodon was even more massive than we thought. Scientists used to estimate the Megalodon was about 60 feet long, but a recent study has now shown that they can grow up to 82 feet long, which is half the width of a football field. And with the release of this study, this means that a baby Megalodon would actually be about 13 feet long at birth, which is the average size of an adult great white shark. This means at birth, a baby Megalodon would eat just about any marine animal they came in contact with. Some people claim that the Megalodon is hiding deep in the ocean's depths, but scientists have confirmed the Megalodon would live closer to shallow water. The last Megalodon was said to have gone extinct closer to about 10,000 years ago, puzzling scientists, but would it actually kill the last Megalodon? Most people will tell you that it was something big like a Leviathan or maybe Godzilla, but those are fake monsters. Well, technically, some people call the Livyatan whale the Leviathan, but that's not completely accurate. The Livyatan whale is big enough and vicious enough to take out a Megalodon, and they did live at the same time, but they aren't what killed off the Megalodon. And what actually helped to kill off the Megalodon was a faster-moving, more vicious, and even deadlier shark, the great white shark. They basically out-srammed the Megalodon for food and helped to contribute towards their extinction. But what do you guys think? Do you think the Megalodon still exists today? This next sea demon was basically a prehistoric torpedo with teeth. This is the Mosasaurus. Most people think the Mosasaurus was a dinosaur, but they're not a dinosaur. It was a freaky-looking marine reptile. Think of it like a homicidal sea lizard with a jet pack and really had a bad attitude. These things were literal sea dragons up to about 50 feet long. The one in Jurassic World was juicier and bigger than a real thing. But hey, Hollywood got a Hollywood, right? It did have a deadly mouth, and yeah, worse than mine. A double-hinged jaw with sharp teeth on its palate. So if it ever bit you, you weren't getting out. You were entering a literal meat blender. It didn't just bite its prey. It gripped, it shook, and it ragdolled everything from sea turtles to fish to other Mosasaurs. Even sharks stayed out of its way. It was the apex predator of its time with zero chill and had no natural enemies. Basically, it was the CEO of the ocean and fired everyone. Since it was a reptile, it had the surface to breathe. Imagine being a murder submarine that had to pop up like, Hey guys, be right back. Gotta inhale before I injure real quick. And with its long tail, it was actually built for speed. This thing was moving like a missile underwater. Not a slow creeper, a fast chaser. And what's really creepy is that it didn't lay eggs. It gave live birth in water. Baby Mosasaurs spawned into carnage and immediately became ocean killers. Lucky for us, it went extinct with the rest of the crew about 66 million years ago. And if you think the Megalodon and Mosasaurs are scary, wait till you see this thing. Straight up nightmare fuel. This is the Dunkleostus, also called the Chunky Donkey. Hey, that's what they call me after I eat a dozen donuts. Anyway, this beast had a thick armored plated head that made it somewhat slow. It didn't have any teeth, kind of like your grandma, and it was freaky looking. Instead of teeth, it had these super sharp jaw bones that could crush anything. They swam across the ocean's outer world at a time when the world actually looked different. Fossils were actually found in Ohio. Of course it was Ohio, bro. Scientists actually estimate this thick beast to have been around 14 to 20 feet long and a top apex predator in its time. They did go extinct over 300 million years ago, but the Coelacanth and Horseshoe crab have been around for over 400 million years and are still around today. So who knows, maybe the Chunky Donkey might be swimming in an ocean next to you. So after prehistoric sea tanks with bone blade jaws and Ohio trauma, let's talk about something a little closer to home. While the Dunkleostus would rip you in half before you could scream, this next creature has the entire world arguing about what it actually is. For over 100 years now, stories of the Loch Ness Monster, also called Nessie, have been told and are still being told to this day. The story, generated from Lake Loch Ness in Scotland, would put a shrimp on a barbie, mate. Most legends actually die out when there's no proof, but Nessie said, ah, I'm a built different fan. When you think of the Loch Ness Monster, you probably picture this photo which was taken in 1932, but it was proven to be fake. The photographer used a toy submarine with a plastic head on it to fake the photo. But since then, many others have claimed to have seen a large sea creature in or around the lake. And since we now have new technology, more recent sightings have been reported. This photo was taken just a few years ago, but it's just been released to the public. And this video was taken in Ireland by a YouTuber named Colin Malarkey. It looks like a massive creature swimming across the lake. And this kind of looks like his head. Most people say it was just a whale. Some say it's a sign of Loch Ness Monster, while other claims it's just a turtle while floating along. But if you look at the boats and waves, you can see the water isn't moving that fast. There's actually been other footage to show serpent or dragon-like creatures washed up on beaches around the world. And also in the state of Georgia, this sea creature washed up on the shore. Some people claim the Loch Ness Monster is just some type of large eel creature in the lake. Many others claim the Loch Ness Monster is actually an Elasmosaurus. But that's impossible since the Elasmosaurus neck isn't strong enough to lift the head out of the water. And I hope not because this is what an Elasmosaurus sounds like. The Bloop and El Grandmaha are some of the biggest I've mentioned so far in this video. But this next one could swallow them both at one time like me eating a hot dog. This is the Sea Eater. So what's the Sea Eater? It's this massive creature with two huge arms that helps it keep upright and is over 21,000 feet long. Yeah, four miles of pure nope. Since the ocean is actually over 30,000 feet deep, the Sea Eater is said to be in the deep ocean lurking in its depths. Its mouth's always open, devouring everything in its path, even the Bloop. It was first spotted in 1862 by fishermen who described seeing a massive pulsing shadow beneath the waves, followed by tsunamis and catastrophic destruction across the coast. No storm, no warning, just waves taller than buildings and entire villages wiped off the map. Then in 1927, a woman named Evelyn Mary said she saw a moving mountain on the horizon. Not a wave, not a will, a mountain. Alive and breathing, shifting across the water like the ocean itself waking up. And in 1930, the last known sighting came from a fisherman who swore he saw a creature so large, it stretched from one end of the skyline to the other. That same day, a massive tsunami struck the coast. Coincidence? Maybe. But also, maybe run! And seeing it isn't the only thing that's scary. Wait till you hear what it sounds like. And this last one is the scariest of all. But before I tell you what it is, guys, make sure you hit that like and subscribe button. It really helps me out. Are you ready? Oh yeah, welcome to the fam, bestie. So if the Sea Eater is the ocean's final boss, this next one is the final chapter. Not just of the sea, of everything. While the Sea Eater devours the physical world, Cthulhu breaks your mind before your body even has time to scream. He doesn't swim, he sleeps in the deep, ancient, black abyss of the Pacific. And when he wakes up, game over. When you're in the ocean on a clear blue day and the sky turns black out of nowhere, you just awaken Cthulhu. And when he does awaken, not apocalypse, not fire and brimstone, just silence. Your mind snaps like a glow stick. Cities crumble without warning, oceans boil in place. You won't run, you won't scream, you'll just see him. And that's enough to end your entire existence from the inside out. Cthulhu is a massive cosmic creature that is dragon-like with an octopus face. He has the wings like a fallen angel and a voice that speaks straight into your brain. Not words, just madness. Imagine a squid had a baby with your nightmares and infested anxiety for a thousand years. He's been asleep, chilling beneath the Pacific Ocean, ready to be awakened. And here's what's even more terrifying. If he dreams of a person, they go crazy. Artists painting without even knowing why. Poets writing languages that don't exist. And sailors hear whispers calling him to the deep. But here's the terrifying truth. Cthulhu doesn't hate us. He doesn't even know we exist. We're ants arguing over TikTok clout while a cosmic god rolls over in his sleep. So the next time you feel a chill down your spine for no reason, or you dream of a deep water and distant voices, yeah, he's thinking of you. Some say Cthulhu comes from the planet Saturn. I guess it's better than Uranus. And if you somehow make it through all of that without crying until you're a snorkel, congrats, you finally earned yourself a comfort monster. And if you're going to go swimming in the ocean and get swallowed, you might as well do it with your own personal cryptid. Here's the bloop. The link's in the description. I made it just for you guys. Oh yeah, you might want to check out this since I made it just for you. One more question. You ready to go swimming?
