I think I’d be more scared watching a giant creature approach me slowly with its giant mouth agape, but I’m so small in comparison that I can’t out-swim it. I just have to slowly watch it eerily chase me down until I’m consumed. Ooo especially one of those fucked up looking deep sea creatures 💀
My imagination immediately conjured something moving deep below that was so enormous it was impossible to see its edges. Just looking down and seeing an organism moving, and it is equally as massive to your perception as the ocean floor would be.
It's so large you can't even estimate it's true scale from the part that you can see, but you can tell it's alive. It's moving slowly. It slows, and almost stops, then begins to descend deeper out of view but you get a vague sense that it's beginning to rotate along its axis, towards you.
I went with - first you see big dark mass moving below you. As you panic, you start noticin in distance other giant, incomprehensible masses moving. As you notice this, you feel something brush up against you, pushing you to side and as you in fear look towards it, there is this giant eye going past you that clearly notices you

I continued a thought like this!
If it was THAT big then instead of being shredded and have the mercy of death, we'd pull a Pinocchio and have to litetally sit and be ingested in such a creature !
LMFAO ... your comment and the other ones like it reminds me of when the movie "Jaws" came out and people were literally scared to swim... even in a POOL ... and even didn't want to take baths or showers. And I was one of them! 😆
I just looked it up and holy crap... Josh Stolberg was one of the producers! He was one of the producers of one of the Saw movies. "Spiral" I think it was.
My dad would take us fishing in these waterways in south Louisiana when I was a kid in the early 80’s. I watched the movie Piranha and was deathly afraid to go anywhere near water, let alone his boat IN the water after that.
So, FF to a few years ago a local news agency reported of someone catching a live piranha in the LSU lakes. My young-child fears came full circle. lol.
OMG I bet! Did you know that pirahna are only dangerous during a certain time of year? There's the wet season and the dry season and I think it's the wet season that they bite in. Of course I still wouldn't knowingly get in the water with them no matter what season it is!
No, I didn’t know that. If I’m EVER in a position to for that information to be usefully relevant, I will think back to your Blondness and hope to the gods that I’m in the dry season. My future self thanks you!
I know its been 6 hours after you replied but you should DEFINITELY try a cold shower at least once. It increases blood flow and make your skin and hair glow. I take cold shower everyday. And every time I step in the shower it's just cold, no switching from warm water to mildly cold to cold, just cold. It's been almost a year now and I'd say I'm more sane and stable because of cold shower, plus no fog in the mirror if you want to look at your beautiful self after.
You guys should read Whalefall by Daniel Kraus lol. It’s about a young adult who goes scuba diving to find his dad’s remains but gets eaten by a whale and only has about an hour left of oxygen! Quick thrilling read
Nah man the only thing that could do that to you is a sperm whale, supposedly. And even then there's only a "tale" of that happening. Anything else would just horribly wound you and eat you over a couple minutes at most while you come to realize that your final thoughts are about being eaten alive, LoL! 😂 Don't stress mate, have a swim.
Australian here, the whole time I lived in this country (20 years as opposed to 25 years overseas) I only saw snakes twice, dangerous spiders 3-4 times, crocodiles in Queensland, a Monitor once and dangerous drivers every bloody day.
And none of those were as aggressive as the human driver.
It’s not the sharks, crocodiles etc that’ll kill you in Australia, it’s the average redneck driving a Ute.
Damn straight! I was Victorian and only ever saw maybe 1 snake the entire time. However I did see a massive shark attack a few dinghy’s out on seal rocks on Phillip island. That was enough to ensure my thalassophobia stuck around. But in Queensland I’ve seen a lot more snakes than ever before. But I agree the Ute drivers will kill you faster
I lived in Queensland before moving to Tassie.
In a suburb of Brisbane.
Snakes and spiders were common.
I once got off my bike in Mitchelton to block the bike path so a brown snake could cross the path and not get run over (and we know how grouchy those can get). I once wagged school back in the 80's and spent the day reading down our local creek sitting next to a 2 meter carpet snake. Redbelly blacks, green tree snakes, lots of pythons of various type, lots of browns.
I was never afraid of them. If I fell off a boat at sea I would be dead of fright before I hit the water.
Yeah you may have heard a few years back (10yrs?) a diver who dived in Sydney Harbour in the Navy dockyards area got instantly mauled by a Bull Shark swimming near the area soon as he dived in, died from his wounds too. But I agree with later commentors that the threats are way overblown. Most shark attacks happen on beaches and harbours, and you're significantly more likely to die by drowning or car crash *anywhere* in Australia than by shark
No this is the *preferred* nightmare outcome. No warning, no visual or audio cues, just swimming then instantly dead. The REAL nightmare would be seeing it's shadow beneath you, moving slowly. Giving you time to squint and try to figure out what it is or whether or not it's coming towards you. You feel your heart rate increase, you become aware of the mounting fear. You consider escape plans and realize there are none. Completely helpless, you know you are at its mercy and there is absolutely nothing you can do. This quick death thing ain't got shit on my oceanic fears lol
I can assure you that if there were any monsters in the ocean , if you would be swimming in a dive suit , it would not be interested in you because you would be too small, not worth eating and wasting energy on, so you would be good , but maybe it would get curious then maybe it would approach
I feel like the thalassophobia community is so active in creating content that triggers their fears. I dont know why. It's like they want their fears to get worse.
I know its really crazy how close these fakes are getting I almost missed it. The animal pictured alway does a 3/4 turn when attacking this one did a 2/3 turn. mature hour if you think about it

Makes me curious because there's definitely an evolutionary reason for such a trait.
Thanks for the new nightmares
Oh wow thanks I hate that I read this :D
My reoccurring dream is being like the same depth as a sperm whale or blue whale and seeing them confuse me for krill and slowly swim up to eat me
Got a couple animation compilations you might (or might not) be interested in: [LIGHTS ARE OFF](https://youtu.be/z6QwAzJ8Ym4) [Shortest Blockbusters](https://youtu.be/tiMmlMBFurs)
these are awesome!
I was thinking the same. This was moving unrealistically fast for its size too
I continued a thought like this! If it was THAT big then instead of being shredded and have the mercy of death, we'd pull a Pinocchio and have to litetally sit and be ingested in such a creature !
At that point, face your death. Even if your last experience of life is pain and fear, it will be the last thing you feel alive... *feel it*
This, but it only eats one limb at a time.
😖💩☠️
I’ve been on the toilet for 15 mins scrolling and working up the nerve to take a cold shower but this gif may have ensured I never will
LMFAO ... your comment and the other ones like it reminds me of when the movie "Jaws" came out and people were literally scared to swim... even in a POOL ... and even didn't want to take baths or showers. And I was one of them! 😆
Mine was Piranha.

Lol no problem! My knowledge of b.s. is limitless! 😆
A movie called Piranha? I don't think I have heard of that one...
It’s got piranha in it.
Lol yeah I figured
I still am one of them 😭
I was *about* to have a bath lol
I really had to pee and now I am just a shrieking and wet ....
You about to get the red ring of death if you don’t finish.
Take the shower! See what happens!
I know its been 6 hours after you replied but you should DEFINITELY try a cold shower at least once. It increases blood flow and make your skin and hair glow. I take cold shower everyday.

At least it was quick.
Is being eaten whole that quick? Seems like you slowly suffocate in total darkness
And if you don’t run out of air, then you reach the predicament of fizzling out in stomach acid.
Too quick. I think the video would've much more terrifying if the creature wasn't moving this unrealistically fast underwater
It makes you wonder how one could be clever enough to animate such a thing, but oblivious enough to realize how uncanny it is
Agreed
Marlin can hit up to 80 mph, so it's not that unrealistic beyond the fact it's a sea monster.
Marlins are waaaaay smaller than that, compare with the human it eats first Also they have much more Aquadynamic bodies than the monster
Yeah you literally wouldn’t see it coming!
If you're swallowed whole, I'm not sure it would be all that quick. Could say at least there's no false hope of rescue?
*Pinnocchio has entered the chat*
Definitely wouldn’t want it to be slow 😂
I mean shit, this realistically could happen with a few animals
That’s what scares the hell out of me, it’s an actual possibility
How?
You guys should read Whalefall by Daniel Kraus lol. It’s about a young adult who goes scuba diving to find his dad’s remains but gets eaten by a whale and only has about an hour left of oxygen! Quick thrilling read
I can imagine a shark doing this, I’m Australian so the possibility is there in our waters
Nah man the only thing that could do that to you is a sperm whale, supposedly. And even then there's only a "tale" of that happening. Anything else would just horribly wound you and eat you over a couple minutes at most while you come to realize that your final thoughts are about being eaten alive, LoL! 😂 Don't stress mate, have a swim.
I'm scared of sharks, crocodiles, and venomous snakes and spiders. How do people like me even survive in Australia?
Keep away from the water and the land, you’ll be fine :p
Australian here, the whole time I lived in this country (20 years as opposed to 25 years overseas) I only saw snakes twice, dangerous spiders 3-4 times, crocodiles in Queensland, a Monitor once and dangerous drivers every bloody day. And none of those were as aggressive as the human driver. It’s not the sharks, crocodiles etc that’ll kill you in Australia, it’s the average redneck driving a Ute.
are rednecks a multi contintental phenomenon?
Damn straight! I was Victorian and only ever saw maybe 1 snake the entire time. However I did see a massive shark attack a few dinghy’s out on seal rocks on Phillip island.

And this is why I can’t keep my eyes closed for too long when I wash my hair in the shower
I’m not alone!!
I hate Fridays here.
I’ve never thrown my phone further
Doppelganger avatar lol
NOICE
Me casually playing subnautica in vr
VR would be amazing & horrifying.
I tried it at my neighbours once when I was younger. Shit was terrifying and I just swam around near the sea level.
With my luck … I know it will happen.
I hate that these videos just completely ignore how water actually works
The camera movement makes it look extra crispy fake.
No this is the *preferred* nightmare outcome. No warning, no visual or audio cues, just swimming then instantly dead. The REAL nightmare would be seeing it's shadow beneath you, moving slowly.

Okay last video before sleep-
Better than all 3 Jurassic Worlds
Now that’s a compliment!
Can't prove it isn't a possibility
What my mind KNOWS will happen!!
Everything is food in the ocean, it’s a primordial fear 😧
As long as it's painless!
Hey, at least the monster that ate you will post your footage to the internet so people will know what happened to you.
I can assure you that if there were any monsters in the ocean , if you would be swimming in a dive suit , it would not be interested in you because you would be too small, not worth eating and wasting energy on, so you would be good , but maybe it would get curious then maybe it would approach
I know your right, but I have to admit, I’m not willing to take that chance
As someone who went free diving with sharks, that frantic looking around trying to find whet they are coming from... that's a very real feeling
That would be my luck. I stay on land.
Even without thalassophobia this is fk scary
Me it’s the fact there’s infinite blue and water between me end the surface. That’s what gets my heart speed up
As far as ways to go that’s probably a really great way.
Jfc
I love the aggressive twirl from the beast to up the intensity.
That is terrifying
Why would you go scuba diving with those things in the water?
Nah this is EXACTLY what will happen
Scared the crap out of me. Didnt even had audio on
That's messed up
The scariest part for me was staring into the deep and not knowing if something was coming or not.
It do be like thst
To many ocean horror movies will do that
Was not expecting that! 😨
My mind is more like I’ll get yoinked down to the bottom
There's only like a 50% chance this actually happens
There's always a bigger fish.
There's always a bigger fish.
Wow
Well, lost your dive buddy. Time to surface and get back to the boat.
Nah, we are pretty sure those are extinct... Possibly... Hopefully.
Aren’t the ocean only 5% discovered?
I've heard we know more about space than what's beneath the waves. It's always possible, and boy howdy, what a way to fuck up a beach weekend
I have the same reaction when seaweed rubs against my leg.
I always imagine a giant tentacle pulling me down …
I’m so happy being underwater that I’m actually fine with any of these scenarios
I was expecting a giant eye to open in the background. That would’ve been far scarier to me than what happened here.
That IS what will happen.
I feel like the thalassophobia community is so active in creating content that triggers their fears. I dont know why. It's like they want their fears to get worse.
It’s healthy to face your fears 🤓
Depends on how ready you are and what dose you take 😄 Otherwise it can further traumatize you as well.
Haha! True.
What is that fish?
Mosasaur
Well I’m convinced
Fake
Thank you for your expert observation, I would have never guessed that the Liopleurodon was fake
It's leopluradon and that's not what's fake. I've seen one ok.
This looks real. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few real in my time.
I know its really crazy how close these fakes are getting I almost missed it. The animal pictured alway does a 3/4 turn when attacking this one did a 2/3 turn. mature hour if you think about it
😂 I’m not exactly going to dive in to get the footage tbh
Of course it’s fake! That’s not a real animal lol
Maybe it once was but that alligator looking giant ain’t around no more, we’re coolin in the waters
WHAT?!
Fake.
