We have pulled these up on the fishing boat i worked on and theyre very thin i have a hard time seeing it knock over a boat.
It’s a deep sea fish. If it comes up to the surface. It is dying, and will not be able to do anything but barley move around.
Apparently one of the boys body was found? And it was determined he died from drowning.
i'm a prairie guy with a big, big fear of the ocean. But the way y'all describe 'things get weird' when a storm hits the sea does remind me of like... 'things get weird' if you get lost in the woods. adrenaline, trauma, fear and the body's survival instincts do really really weird things to the perceptions of reality and memory. I have no doubt the teen remembers a sea monster attacking his friends, but I think that there are about 30 million things in the water during a storm that could be a sea monster. Including a sea monster honestly, large bodies of water freak me out.
Anyone who pretends that the ocean is a safe place with nothing downright abnormal chilling in it is not to be trusted. Move accordingly.
I live on the east coast and in recent years we've found that great white sharks actually migrate along our Coast as summer approaches in the places we were swimming as kids.
@@Jokerwolf666 i have been watching lots of drone videos of people wading in the ocean and sharks swimming right in between them and the people don't even notice the sharks. it's crazy how many of these videos there are, and then to think of how many times it happens and doesn't get caught on camera.
@@Jokerwolf666also east coast and I'm pretty far north. 100% true.
@@andrewchristie2970 no, it was a Bigfoot, they're very very very common.
My first thought was - "The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed..." It's been a weird Monday.
I live near Pensacola and honestly haven’t heard this story. Very interesting
An oarfish knocking over a fishing boat is like a toddler knocking over a car. It’s not possible
"A huge sea animal capsized the boat, not a sea monster."
What.... What do you think a sea monster 😂
I remember reading about this account in a few different places. My favorite was from Monsters and Marine Mysteries by Max Hawthorne. From what ive gathered from both accounts is that the boys were knocked overboard and repeatedly attacked by something that was hissing, hence why the survivor thought it was a sea serpent. I like Maxs idea of what it was but when you mentioned crocodile, they hiss right?
They do indeed.
Gators do
But that begs the question of how could he hear hissing?
It's hard enough hearing hissing when driving a boat in calm seas, let along choppy waters or in a storm
I guess it would have to be pretty loud hissing, I know how noisy the ocean can get. Would have to be a huge croc I suppose. Or as Max thinks, a huge turtle.
No crocodiles in the panhandle of Florida. Large gators in low numbers in the rivers, but not usually in the Gulf. They don't attack boats like that either.
These podcast are so interesting. I love them❤❤❤
I think it's more likely the other way around...during a storm, it's harder for that shark, for instance, to know what's on the surface, fish, seal, boat or what. So it followed them for awhile to figure it out.
"That's the smartest thing you've said in 51 weeks." I'm on lunch in my work truck and I just spit water all over my dash that was so funny.
Many sea-serpent incidents can be attributed to large squid tentacles, look up U.S.S. Stein, where sucker hooks 5 times the size of the largest known species were found.
They can also be misidentified as secret projects to an extent. Things that have never been seen, such as classified military projects/objects.
Also, in 1960 the U.S conducted the world's first circumnavigation without being detected by anyone, besides one Vietnamese fisherman on his boat saw a periscope reach out of the ocean and look right at him. The dude probably told everyone he saw a sea monster or someshit, seeing as he had never seen or heard of a submarine before. I can only imagine what was going through his mind. I'd think a it was a Tripod from war of the world's coming out of tbe water lmao. Also there's a picture of the fisherman in his boat that the submarine took 😂
No guys, I studied all the accounts of this incident in depth and it was a full blown highly intelligent aquatic cryptid/monster exhibiting forethought and extreme malice, it was sadistic the way it killed those boys.. It actually breached the water to a height of between 4-6 feet stalking them as they tried to swim away from it, but yeah, harmless Oarfish becomes mad killer sudden super assassin of the sea.
Any proof for your ....."studies"....
I also believe this thing straight up toyed with them like an orca does to some animals.
This is the scariest Cryptid story to me
5:42 I've heard stories of the Oar Fish gets up to 100+foot in length and a minimum of a yard in diameter
Seems like he's trying to cover up an accident with a horribly told lie it happens all the time.
So why not use something more believable like whale flipping boat and drown or shark attack?
@@FlightOfFancyCobecause we’d ask him how did that happen, elaborate. Instead we’re left to think he’s lieing and covering up how he left 4 “friends” 10 miles off the coast and back in that time people might believe “serpent” without the Internet.
@mgeller854 you don't think people asked him to elaborate about a sea serpent? A story like that invites more questions than a storm and a shark attack. And honestly, I think people would be less likely to believe a "sea serpent" story back then, without internet, as you say.
Titanic😁
@mgeller854 Son, that is the dumbest thing I've ever read. You think he said sea serpant, in the 60s, and people just believed him? Oh, the arrogance of modernity never ceases to amaze me.
Apparently, in the story, the creature raises up like a telephone pole and came down on one of the kids. They described it as a "sea turtle with an elongated head with needle-like teeth", and apparently it hissed several times. Even though it was impossible for plesiosaurs to raise their head, it was the first thing to come to mind.
Even though I think a lot of sea serpent accounts could be mistaken identity, especially when it comes to oarfish and sea lions, the ocean is unfathomably vast. You got to keep in mind, back then in the 1700s, 1800s, etc. the ocean was a lot quieter. Nowadays, all the oceanic "roads" we tend to travel on, on a daily basis, all the human activity, it could've sent some things deeper. As fun as it is to believe, and as grounded as it is to say "mistaken identity", folklore, etc. we'll just never 100% know what else we currently, or once shared the planet with.
It could of just been a huge Serpent shaped log covered in barnacles and seaweed/corals/other sea shit.
If that's tumbling in the rough weather it could smash a small boat up too while looking alive.
Alot of times whales will mate multiple partners and the partner that is waiting its turn will stick it's goant erection above the water surface. A whale exhaling via its blowhole could be mistaken as hissing. Horny erect whales turned upside down could certainly accidentally capsize a boat.
This was 1959x not 1800s dude
@@andygarza8132 my second paragraph never stated it was the same incident, my guy.. the second paragraph isn't referencing the 1950s incident, I'm stating, in general, that throughout history, as far back as the 1700/1800s, if anomalies like these actually exist/existed, the reason their sighting were a lot more common was because of the less developed world we lived in, and why they've slowly been more and more scarce, etc...
sounds like he killed or abandoned his friends out in the ocean
Oarfish have also been known to surface before natural disasters such as earthquakes
Yup! It's nicknamed the doomsday fish lol
I would theorize the actual reason for deep sea creatures, coming to the surface during storms, would be the water temperatures near the surface, being cooled from the turbulent waters moving the warm water down and the cold water up. This would be equal to similar temperatures in the depths, where these specific creatures live allowing for them too be more opportunistic in terms of coming too the surface in search of food.
That's actually, very deeply and well thought, especially if it's at night because once you go down far enough it's just Black, and if it's Bad weather and night time, why wouldn't some deep sea animals come up closer to the surface, idk how many fish are in the deep oceans where the sun don't reach but I'd assume, could be wrong, that theirs more to hunt in the part of the ocean that sunlight does come through, where those deep sea fish don't come up to, that is unless it's night time, I don't know what land animals to compare this to but I'm sure theirs some, I'm a Midwest guy never seen the ocean, I've seen videos of the ocean at night and it's the Blackest I think you could get here on earth besides a deep deep cave, but theirs nothing but bats their, who knows what's down in that alien world, that thought makes the ocean much much freakier then I already thought it was with the fish we do know about
@@thatintellectualhoodnigga513 appreciate it
@@Gymratadventures4269 out of curiosity I did look up does deep sea fish come to the top, and this was the first thing, "As night falls, trillions of krill, copepods, lanternfish and squid join other creatures that rise from black depths below 1,000 feet to feed in the nutrient-rich epipelagic zone, the only ocean zone sunlight penetrates. They then descend to the dark as light returns"
The issue with large creatures that live at super low depths is they typically don't fair well when brought to the surface due to the decreased pressure on their bodies. Fish and other animals that live at those depths are specifically adapted to that increased pressure and bringing them to the surface can be catastrophic for their organs.
There's also the problem of most deep sea fish lacking swim bladders. Fish at those depths that do have swim bladders, or any gas in their body would rapidly expand and inflate upon being brought to the surface.
Idk seems too fishy to believe he probably took the boat & left them stranded to die… (maybe he was a school shooter type of vibe kid)
I live 1 1/2 hours from Pensacola and the guys that shark fish from the beach caught a Great White last summer. Unheard of in our area.
they are the longest boney fish. they are indeed usually dying when they get to the survace. there are quite a lot of legends about them because not many people know of their existence. barely anyone untill they went viral not long ago.
When this posted my wife and I saw an oar fish on the coast in Panama Florida. It was at least 13 ft long. Right on the beach
Dope podcast. Subbed!
No, the creature ate the teens, the survivor could hear the creature attacking them, screams on and off, "help me, it's got (put name here), and the survivor even got a look at the creature.
But when an oar fish gets sick, do they "attack the boat" as the eye witness described? I think if a boat hit one of these, the boat would be way less effected by that than the storm itself.
They say the turn up on the surface when sizemic activity happens. Earthquakes underwater releasing small shock waves or toxic gasses. This messes them up and theya sit on the surface.
There are a good bit of shark species and large ones at that around the gulf. Forrest's tale makes me wonder if the boat they were in hit a gnarly wave bounced the other boys out, and all he saw was that oarfish. Wouldn't surprise me if they were taken out by sharks in the waters nearby.
I remember a story on MrBallen or was it the two dive guys (I forget their channel name, sorry), that covered a story about aggressive squid in the gulf. Do they make any noise that sounds like a hiss?
You know you’re about to get some really solid info when there’s no general consensus between the three host on which side of Florida we are discussing 😂
All I'm saying is that it's a sea monster until we discover it then it's no longer a sea monster That just means we have a bunch of sea monsters under different names in the ocean
MOREEEEEEEEE WE NEED MORE OF YOU GUYS
Goddamn, I saw it was the gulf so I clicked hoping it wouldn’t be near where I live, I’m in Pensacola
when the sea gets angry her creatures arise from the depths, not to return empty handed
I don't think there was an actual "sea monster" but if I had to guess, this seems like the most plausible option.
Also sailors and pirates 🏴☠️ etc… probably suffered from heat exposure and dehydration and with those conditions you’ll probably see some crazy shit in the water
@@e.enriquez4589 For sure, add on top that lack of sleep and a some rum, your mind will be playing tricks on you.
You Keep on saying there’s no mammals in the Gulf of Mexico, but there’s a pod of roughly 500 Orcas there.
I still don't understand how it's not the same thing. Because like they said there is no actual definition of a sea monster
@@joerullestad8934 ergot contaminated hard tac as well ive been on acid like alot in a boat you do indeed see seamonsters ince you cant see the bottom
I did 6 years on a australian prawn trailer I've definitely seen some weird stuff out on ocean your mind can play tricks on you
Pensacola born and raised bayyybbbeeee. I’m here rn.
They said they saw a telephone pile standing about 10-12 ft. Out of the water. Then they saw its head and it went back under the water and began attacking and killing the teenagers 1 at a rim
I thought the Massachusetts was a museum ship in Fall River,Ma.
You need to watch river monsters!
Absolutely agree
Love that show
FISH ON!
That show sucks. 55 mins of bs and then he catches the river "monster" which is always just a fish in the last 5 mins.
You know who sucks? Gregory Dias sucks
I find this super interesting I did a presentation for biology on the Oarfish
Me too back in middle school 😭
I'm not sure how far into the gulf they were, but off the coast of Central Florida, they have manatees. Tons of them are in the canals, but some go quite far out. One time, I was sitting down on the boat with my feet dangling over the edge as I changed the setup on my fishing rod. All of a sudden, before I could think a manatee surfaced right below my feet. It scared the absolute shit out of me. I just assumed Jaws was about to rip me in half. Needless to say, my friends thought it was hilarious.
People do hit the manatees with their boats all the time, but I don't ever really hear about them capsizing a boat. Also, I'm not sure how far manatees actually go from shore, but that's the first thing that came to my mind.
The thing about that is, manatees are the most harmless sea mammals out there! I swam with them before with a big piece of lettuce, and 4 of them corned me and legit grabbed my thighs with their flippers so they could get the lettuce. It’s amazing how big the actually are when you’re in the water with them isn’t it ?
@@dillyboyq For sure!
The wreck of the Massachusetts is about a mile or two outside of Pensacola pass and is in so shallow of water parts of it stick out at low tide and are a navigation hazard. They were pretty close to the beach.
Haha! Poor cow was coming up for a belly rub, and got a screaming mimi instead!
Did it ever say if the creature actually attacked them? After being knocked off the boat? Did the creature attack them, Or did they fall in and end up drowning?
Dude... yeah... that's the sea serpent of legends for sure lol "fuck yeah" was my thought exactly.
Haven't watched the video yet but the title made me think about this. Imagine not knowing anything about sea life way way back in the day and you somehow end up in the water with 100s of 6ft Humboldt squid. You'd think sea monsters were real.
Or even a huge white shark. If you didn't know much about Sharks (in an era where 99% of the world didn't even have a TV let alone internet), and a 20foot white breaches next to your boat, that's a 'Sea Monster'
Also, in 1960 the U.S conducted the world's first circumnavigation without being detected by anyone, besides one Vietnamese fisherman on his boat saw a periscope reach out of the ocean and look right at him. The dude probably told everyone he saw a sea monster or someshit, seeing as he had never seen or heard of a submarine before. I can only imagine what was going through his mind. I'd think a it was a Tripod from war of the world's coming out of tbe water lmao. Also there's a picture of the fisherman in his boat that the submarine took 😂
When I used to dive in Florida I was told that the old-timers used to take the fire extinguishers from the school and fill them with their and use them as tanks and they got they would create or by regulators which they fashioned from those that were created by Jacques Cousteau my buddy used to dive with those guys and then we started diving together he was a long-range free spear deep-sea spearfisherman at the time using power heads to spear big fish
This makes me think of the movie "Life of Pie" where the young man told a completely different tale than what really happened to him.
We’ve explored less than 10% of the ocean, you never know what’s out there.
i do wonder if this creature or something similar is responsible for Jormungandr, the great serpent who holds in the sea.
I really like Forrest, but I think it’s ok to talk about things that might not be easily explained. Because while the Oarfish does look like a sea serpent, I don’t think it would be powerful or malicious enough to knock three decent sized guys out of a boat and then attack them. If this story is true, it might not be.
I've heard way more details of the story before, it's too bad they didn't talk about them.
I just watched a great video about the discovery of this fish and its first recorded sighting alive....cool animal.
Bummer for them
From the area. Def some kind of croc or gator that found it’s way out there
How big was the boat ? There are sharks and barracuda in that area . What time of day did they start back ? Dust would lower visibility and could cause a couple shiny fish look like one large unknown creature .
It was described as a 7ft "air force raft". So, a very small boat for 5 people.
It’s the pan handle. It’s tough to discount McCleary. 4 drowning with no outside interference is much to believe. I believe they saw a monster. Somehow a Plesiosaur that was also sighted in deep water two years later by two respected officers. Though ridiculed they swore it was a living Plesiosaur
I'm thinking thresher shark hits the boat. If all you saw was the tail fin you might recognize it as a shark.
i live near we hadd a great white 13 foot caught in pcola this year
Even trained divers have accidents . Ive also been in situations, where Something crazy has happened. When we got away and long back we realised we were just in fight or flight mode.,and it was something normal. But then if they were hit by a fish from the boat. Theirs plenty of videos showing fish jumping to avoid the boat ,some jump in the boat. Hes also right about the ore fish is what chinese dragons look like.
Love the oarfish!!! Such a cool creature....
Forest is awesome to listen to!!
The mass has more bait fish then anywhere within ten miles of shore!
Can you do an episode about the alligators showing up at Dauphin island Alabama ?
There are alligators in inland lakes and ponds in MS. Like 5 hours from the gulf.
There have been alligators spotted as far north as Michigan recently but haven't been confirmed.
There are alligator in the ponds between the condos on the beach.
Anyone else think Forrest was about to wrestle Jon DuPont from the thumbnail?
This is the 60s. They could have been a bunch of 8 year olds lol.
My first thought was a humboldt squid
Mine too
It's the Gulf side Mr. Geography.
I thought a large moray eel since it was a good spot.
Checkout Jeremy Wade searching for this Fish.
Ol mate top right, looks his trip has just kicked in around rhe 4.40min mark
March. It was da ting.
Oarfish are in the gulf.
Catch the babies on the texas coast all the time.
What happened to the 4 bodies? If they were diving they should of still had wetsuits on so their bodies wouldn’t have sank ? What did the law enforcement investigation conclude?
The kids were just skin diving. No suits, tanks, or any other diving equipment. 1 of the bodies did wash up. He had drowned, no other injuries on him. The others weren't found.
Dude killed his friends and made up some sea serpent story. No body, no murder. Lmao genius
A mention to the people who suffer thalassophobia, I'm sure they hated this vídeo XD
How would the oarfish attack though?
Jus saying.... Giant squid have been documented in the gulf
It definitely could have been an Atlantic sturgeon they go all up and down the East Coast.
You should get Jeremy wade on the show sometime
If they just went overboard, why couldn't they get back on the boat?
I got another theory, dude threw them off the boat.
Bad storm guys got rolled over driver got scared didn't stick around cut his a** and left his friends to drowned
Is Mexico, Cartel thugs having their way with inocent people and covering their tracks is my default explanation for most misteries there

thats a fcking crazy monster
I love how people that were not there and years removed can decide exactly what happened. Lol.
Nobody knows exactly what it was, they are just theorising what it could have been
8:52 !
damn, the cartels used to blame stuff on everything but them 😂
There be dragons.
7:33 !
It's an old japanese superstition that if you see an oarfish, a natural disaster is about to occur soon
i dont see an ore fish knocking over a boat or eating people.
...what about Humboldt squid...?
The thing with fish is that they just react to the things around.. anything they view in a split second that they *might* be able to eat. They can just strike off reflex alone
I saw the head line and laughed. Its terrible but also funny.
Thats a snake dude...Yikes
Oh hell yea I’ve dove the mass! It’s only couple miles out it sticks up out of the water it’s so shallow
was it a wreck or put there as an artificial reef?
Shark or even croc out there?
I personally think the one survivor murdered his friends
why does this restart after like 2 minutes lol
My friend and my other friends dad want me to go deep sea fishing with them. I really don't want to. The ocean is not for me
Wild
Could it of been some kind of big squid.
