TERRIFYING Mythical Sea Creatures..😳

Mythical Beasts

The blue hole, like a big booty hole.
These vertical underwater caves drop hundreds of feet into the ocean.
And deep within them, legend says, lives
one of the most mysterious sea monsters in the world.
Oh, no, Alaska is this.
What's good, y'all? Welcome back to the LIT fam.
Today, bro, we got mythical sea creatures that are true giants
by holding this animated and just regular holding this channel.
This popped up on my feed, and I know I had to watch it.
You guys show a hell of love whenever we do like mythical creatures and stuff,
but we might as well do mythical sea creatures
since we haven't really dived into that yet.
So what I'm going to do, make sure to grab your popcorn and let's see.
Also, comment down below if you guys already know a certain mythical sea
creature that you grew up on when you're a kid or something.
The only thing I can really think of is like, I don't know,
the Loch Ness monster or stuff like that.
Nothing special.
Thousands of legends from around the world say the same thing.
Monsters live in the depths of the ocean.
Now, this is something I really believe, though, because, Chad, like we all know,
we don't know every single thing in the ocean, bro.
And I feel like at some point, some big ad monster,
we had no idea live down there is habitatting down there
because that's the only thing that could.
You have to be a monster.
You have to be different than everything.
I mean, the already the fish that we've seen down there are weird
and have things that are completely unexplainable
and how they're able to live down there.
So in the depths of the ocean, what a surprise from ancient Japanese myths
to modern online forums, the fear of sea creatures never fades.
Today, you'll discover five of the most that mouth do.
Mysterious and terrifying among them.
Let's see the depths of the Pacific Ocean
where storms strike without warning and the sea turns ink black.
Japanese sailors have whispered a name for centuries.
Umibozu, his appearance means doom.
And no one knows why he only rises when the waters are perfectly still.
Just before the waves begin to surf.
Umibozu, that's a whole human.
That ain't even a creature at that point.
Like, who is this?
Lock him up.
Umibozu is a giant sea creature from Japanese folklore.
OK.
Descriptions say he resembles a smooth black monk's head
emerging from the ocean, towering dozens of feet high.
Well, just imagine seeing something like this
while you're just out on a cruise or something, bro.
It's a big black man just rising out the water like this.
I mean, what do you even do at that point?
Like you're on a ship already.
You can't just jump out into the water or else you just add his mercy.
So like this is what it is.
GG. Unless you have a jet pack like me.
Sometimes massive arms appear gray as ash with fingers
the length of a ship's mast.
Oh, that's very.
But some tales claim he loomed over entire ships up to 100 feet tall.
100 feet? The name Umibozu combines Umi, sea, and Bozu, Buddhist monk.
Yeah, you know, earlier I was actually going to call him Umibozo.
Yeah, I take that back.
I don't know.
He could probably read my mind, so I just had to take it back anyways.
You know, you're not a Umibozo.
According to legend, he is linked to the spirits of drowned monks
whose lives ended unjustly.
Wow. Stories say he strikes down ships with a single blow
and drags the crew into the deep.
Well, yeah, I would imagine it would only take a single blow
if he's 100 feet tall.
That means his body mass is absolutely gruesome.
Intriguing is that dozens of similar reports come from islands across Japan.
In 1834, a Japanese trading ship vanished after its captain.
Not a toothpick, a Q-tip.
Not a toothpick. It looked like a dirty Q-tip.
Trading ship vanished after its captain reportedly said.
That was my viewers who said that, by the way, not me.
Umi, Umibozo.
The sea is too quiet.
Locals believed it fell victim to Umibozo.
Even into the 20th century, fishermen still speak of a black head
rising from the ocean surface.
Some researchers speculate that no creatures could explain the myth.
Perhaps rare deep sea squids or unidentified cetaceans.
See, that would be the most likely thing.
The squids, bro, because, yeah, as we learn in that one video,
squids end up getting more giant as they're below.
And for some reason, they come up.
I don't see how they would be able to live coming all the way up to the surface.
But just say, you know, just give them the ability to.
We will see some very terrifying creatures, bro.
But no scientific observation has ever confirmed Umibozo's existence.
So if you're ever out at sea and notice the storm suddenly stops,
don't celebrate too quickly.
Shit, hell no.
It might be the first sign that Umibozo is near.
Oh, no. See, now I'm not going to be able to go in the ocean the same, bro.
I was actually thinking about going cruising and ----.
Hell no. I don't care, bro.
I watch these for a reason because these might not be myths.
Off the coast of the Bahamas lies a natural wonder.
The blue holes like a big booty hole.
These vertical underwater caves drop hundreds of feet into the ocean
and deep within them, legend says, lives one of the most
mysterious sea monsters in the world.
Oh, no, Alaska. What the **** is this?
A shark was smashing an octopus.
Like, what is this?
Strikes without warning, then vanishes as quickly as it appears.
Lusca.
Lusca is described as a hybrid between an octopus and a shark.
Yeah, we can tell the tentacles of a giant squid and a torso
resembling a shark's body with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth.
Oh, hell no.
That's actually ******* scary, bro, because octopuses themselves,
they're just scary to me.
Honestly, they're not cute to me at all, bro.
I mean, I like your legs. I ain't gonna lie.
Y'all taste like, y'all taste like some good chicken fry.
I love, yeah, I love eating y'all, but that's not the point.
The point is, imagine the octopus, like the ability of it, the ink and stuff
and how it can just grab onto you and like literally suffocate you to death.
And then on top of that, the mouth of a shark, dude.
Oh, no.
But you're just you're cooked.
Like, you have no chance, at least with a shark itself.
You kind of have a chance.
Low key, the shark will maybe be scared of you.
You could maybe like push his head down and stuff.
But it's like you push this head down to this shark and all of a sudden
the testicles, I mean, not the testicles.
I mean, probably that, too.
But the tentacles are just going to wrap around you.
Like, there's no way out of this.
It can grow up to 67 feet long.
That's the length of a.
Sorry, cool bus.
But in water, such a creature can approach unseen.
The name Laska has no confirmed origin.
Some believe it comes from local Caribbean dialects.
Stories about it have been passed down for generations
on the islands of Andros and Eleuthera.
Fishermen spoke of boats yanked underwater by a single massive tentacle.
Damn, he just slapped you.
Disrespectful, bro.
Just go ahead and drag me on the water, bro.
Don't slap me like that on camera.
Come on, dude.
Many believe Laska is behind dozens of unexplained disappearances
in the Blue Hole regions.
Scientifically, Laska might be an exaggerated account of real deep
sea creatures like the giant squid or colossal octopus.
The largest known species, the Architeuthis, can reach lengths of 43 feet.
But the Laska, based on descriptions, seems even larger.
What's fascinating is that blue holes are less explored
than the surface of the moon.
Some descend more than 650 feet and contain sealed off ecosystems.
You see what I'm saying?
And this is why the ocean is the most dangerous thing on Earth, bro.
Like, if you think about it, there's so many things
we'll never be able to explore, bro.
I mean, even with technology advancing, it's still going to be hard
to keep going lower and lower and lower.
Like, because there's always something we're not going to know,
at least with space and stuff, we can kind of send things or whatever.
I don't know.
I feel like it's more explorative features when it comes to space
and stuff than the ocean.
The ocean is just so f***ing dangerous.
That makes it possible for large, unknown life forms to remain hidden.
Laska remains suspended between legend and science.
But in the Bahamas, the fear is very real.
And if you ever dive into a blue hole, remember, not all depths are silent.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not diving into a blue booty hole, bro.
Yeah, I'm way too black for that.
I see any hole, I'm running the hell away.
Unless it's the right hole.
The United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
recorded one of the loudest underwater sounds ever detected
in the Southern Pacific Ocean.
It was heard over 3000 miles away and named the Bloop.
But behind the signal lies more than just acoustic mystery.
The Internet turned it into a symbol of oceanic unknowns.
The creature at the heart of this legend is imagined as a 250 foot giant.
250 feet.
This n***a is more the size of two football fields combined, bro.
Larger than any known animal, including the blue whale.
Some theories suggest Bloop is intelligent, deliberately avoiding humans
and perceiving its environment in ways no other marine life.
My bad, correction.
It is almost the length of a football field, bro.
250 feet, like I think it's 360 feet is the length of a football field.
But still, that's enormous.
Bloop is intelligent, deliberately avoiding humans
and perceiving its environment in ways no other marine life can.
What a nerd.
That Bloop can mute the ocean, silencing all nearby sounds.
What theory claims it communicates through?
I mean, honestly, I kind of could believe it because look at this mouth.
It's like he talks too damn much or his breath stinks so bad
that the whole ocean got to stop.
It's one of the other, but you know, I'm saying sounds.
Another theory claims it communicates through infrasound,
a frequency below human hearing, one that can induce unease or fear.
The sound originated from one of the most remote regions on Earth
between Easter Island and Antarctica.
You know, one of my worst fears, Chet, is like sailing in the ocean
or something or being on a boat and all of a sudden you just you're like
like it's dark and ---- outside too.
That's one of my worst fears.
At depths of around 13,000 feet,
the area remains largely unexplored.
Later, some researchers suggested an ice quake may have caused it,
though even they admitted the sound structure was unusually organic.
The legend quickly spread online.
It's nearly matched the location of really a from Lovecraft's stories,
sparking theories that Bloop was Cthulhu awakening.
Since then, it's become a cult figure in digital mythology,
a symbol of the deeps, silent terror in 2002 and 2005.
Scientists conducted follow up missions to the same region,
hoping to capture the sound again, but nothing similar was recorded.
Even stranger, several hydrophones failed during the process.
This led to theories that Bloop either disrupts electronics
or uses something that prevents detection.
I mean, that's true.
I mean, the fact that he was able to, you know, according to the mythology,
the fact that he was able to mute the whole ocean, like what makes you think
he's going to let you put some damn microphones in there and ----?
He's going to mute that ----, too, or just whatever his frequencies are
is going to **** up anything that's there.
Since 1997, no similar sound has ever been recorded again.
To some, it was a strange anomaly.
To others, it remains the only acoustic trace of something
still lurking in the dark.
Damn. Just imagine this, bro.
Even in the drawing, it's just scary.
Just imagine this in real life.
Just big ass mouth like that just coming for you, bro.
Holy. It almost feels like you're not even going to die.
I mean, unless you get caught in the T-Bone lowkey, you just swim in that bitch.
I mean, there's got to be somewhere to hide at that point.
In ancient times, people often explained natural phenomena
through mythical creatures.
If a solar eclipse was blamed on a giant raven,
then the disappearance of the moon was the work of something far more colossal.
Its name was Bakunawa.
According to legend, this sea monster once rose.
Now, this is the most badass name I've heard so far.
Its name was Bakunawa.
According to legend, this sea monster once rose from the ocean's depths
and tried to swallow the moon.
Whenever a lunar eclipse occurred, people believed Bakunawa had returned.
The creature was described as a giant sea serpent.
So enormous, its length was compared to entire island.
Lowkey, though, if you think about a chat like before we knew what the solar
eclipse was, imagine people back in the day that had no idea
and it was just happening like they had to believe some crazy ---- was going on.
Whenever a lunar eclipse occurred, people believed Bakunawa had returned.
The creature was described as a giant sea serpent.
So enormous, its length was compared to entire islands.
See, this is like the type of creatures I would think about
if they told me to draw what you think a sea monster might look like.
This is what I would probably draw.
Negros or Cebu.
Negros? What'd you say?
So enormous, its length was compared to entire islands like Negros or Cebu.
Its mouth, according to stories, resembled a lake
and was wide enough to swallow a celestial body whole.
Bakunawa's skin was dark and smooth.
Some depictions show it with fins, wings or even glowing patches,
much like deep sea creatures.
It's like some God of War ----.
Interestingly, the moon eating myth wasn't just meant to explain
rare celestial events.
It also warned of disasters.
People believed that each time Bakunawa rose,
it disrupted the balance of the ocean.
In response, entire villages would rush to the shores,
banging drums, striking metal and lighting fires to scare the creature away.
I ain't gonna lie, this ---- not gonna scare nothing.
Matter of fact, y'all probably attracted to me, honestly.
Shit, I would not participate in none of this.
The moon back.
What? Like, what is we doing?
Over time, Bakunawa became more than just a symbol of eclipses.
She embodied the fear of what lies hidden in the water beyond human control.
Some tales claimed that her rise caused a momentary shift in ocean temperature
and coastal animals would act strangely.
People began associating her appearance with droughts, floods and vanishing fish.
Even today, local fishermen sometimes recall old stories
where the sea suddenly fell silent before a storm
and took it as a sign that Bakunawa had awakened.
You know how like insane you would go just being in the ocean,
like in a boat by yourself and just like all the stories that you'd be able
to tell because of all this ----.
I feel like there there would be so much weird ---- happening just in the dark,
just pitch black.
You know, obviously you probably have your little lighting
or whatever you got on the on the boat, but all around you is just straight ocean
and like the ---- that would probably try to eat you, get you and all that.
So imagine that, bro.
From a scientific perspective,
this myth is a classic example of how humans used storytelling
to understand nature's cycles.
Yet Bakunawa remains a lasting symbol of the sea's vast and unknowable power.
It still appears in games, books and animation.
A reminder of how little we truly understand about the ocean and the stars.
I mean, that's true, bro.
That's why like these mythical creatures, you know, we're saying they're myths,
but they probably could be real and we won't know
because we're not going to ever explore the whole ocean.
We now turn to the final creature considered by many
to be the most terrifying sea monster of all, El Gran Maha.
It's El Gran Maha.
Oh, hell no!
Described as a massive predator up to 2,250...
Nigga, what?
What'd you say? Huh?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Put that ---- back.
Return that ---- back to Best Buy, bro.
...teen feet long, nearly twice the size of Bloop
and dozens of times longer than a blue whale.
Oh my gosh.
It resembles a serpent or deep sea eel, but far more powerful.
Its eyes are small, pale and dull, as if adapted to absolute darkness.
The earliest documented account dates back to 1560.
Bro, just imagine seeing the shadow of this ************ in the ocean.
Just imagine that, like the length of it.
When a Spanish sailor named Diego Alejandro described a beast with a mouth
the size of a lifeboat and a body that disappeared into the fog.
So long, he couldn't see the end of it.
He claimed the creature's eyes glowed in the dark, watching silently from the depths.
The original records were mostly lost to fire,
but surviving fragments inspired centuries of chilling tales.
Descriptions of...
See, this ----, I don't know, bro.
Like, it looks more realistic than some of the other ones.
I'm not going to lie.
Like, in terms of if we're just embodying a sea monster,
that's literally it.
That literally looks the closest to it that you could possibly be.
But, you know, it does kind of look like Shin Sonic a little bit.
I don't know.
But still, like, you know, it kind of gives off that squid like,
because the thing about me is I feel like if there is some sort of huge monster
that we don't know about, it's going to resemble like a squid slash shark
kind of thing.
It's not going to just be a whole human like the first one.
You know, something like that is going to resemble.
It's going to look nasty, nasty and dirty and scary.
Like that's what it has to look like.
It resembles something like a squid, snake, you know, shark, whale type of thing.
And this kind of resembles all that.
Gran Maha portray it as a hybrid between a sea serpent and a prehistoric predator
with a massive jaw full of long teeth and rough skin.
Its six eyes are said to be arranged in two horizontal rows across its forehead.
Like, look at this, bro.
Oh, oh.
Imagine you just, you go fishing, you see this pop out the water.
Goodbye, family.
Possibly an adaptation to the pitch black pressure zones of the ocean.
It makes no sound, gliding silently through the dark
like a moving shadow.
Since the 2000s and 10s, El Gran Maha has been widely discussed
across English speaking corners of the Internet,
first on cryptozoology forums, then on YouTube and wiki based fan communities.
On the fandom platform, it even has its own dedicated page
complete with fictional descriptions, pseudo historical records and illustrations.
Thanks to these online spaces, El Gran Maha has become part of digital folklore
alongside other imaginary giants.
Yeah, that was definitely the most scary out of all of them.
El Gran Maha.
And it has the most aura name out of all of them, too.
Deep.
Holy.
Even knowing El Gran Maha is a creation of Internet myth,
its image still sends a chill down the spine.
It does. It's scary.
Not because it's real, but because of what it represents.
The scale, silence and unknowability of the ocean.
That's the power of stories like this.
They remind us how little we truly understand about what lurks below.
That's literally what I was saying.
And why is scary, bro?
Because watching these type videos, I mean, the ones that were just mythical
creatures, according to, you know, certain folk telling or,
you know, countries and stuff like that, that's a whole nother different thing.
But when we're talking about sea creatures, it's scary
because like you said, we know very, very little.
So it's like, oh, we're saying these are myths or whatever.
And most likely they are.
But it's like, is there some form of this living down there?
We don't know.
And that's why these stories hit different than the other ones,
because it's like how much of it is true, though?
You know, I mean, we're getting these stories like he was referencing stories
about, you know, fishermen and stuff.
And it's like like I was telling you guys, just imagine,
just imagine like the people back then just traveling oceans all the time,
all the ---- that they possibly have seen, bro.
And like people don't believe them because it's just so out of pocket,
you know, so unbelievable that you just don't believe that type ----.
But hey, bro, I'm not taking anybody's experiences for granted
or telling them they lying or something when it comes to the ocean,
because we don't know ----, bro.
So how am I going to tell somebody else?
Oh, no, that's fake.
They did not see the El Gran Maha.
That was just a regular squid.
No, nigga, he was like 13,000 feet tall.
Oh, you're just hallucinating, Jimmy.
Get out of here.
All of a sudden you go fishing the next day and you're cooked, buddy.
All right, chat, let me know what else you guys want to react to.
And I'll see you guys in the next one, man. Peace.
