‘The Stuff Of Nightmares’: Vacationers Find Terrifying Remains

A 26-year-old Canadian woman was walking along the beach on Prince Edward Island when she stopped dead in her tracks. Holding in a scream, Terran Walker saw what she described as “the stuff of nightmares.” She had stumbled across the rotting, smelly body of what could easily be called a sea monster.   

Terran’s photos showed the “smiling” beast, which was dead and found on a Prince Edward, Canada beach, decaying around the head and with a large skull protruding, writes The Daily Star.

Terran said: “I was shocked – and amazed that we were the ones to find it – but also sad to think about how it ended up there and whether it suffered.

“At first we thought it was a small shark, due to the teeth, which were extremely sharp. It smelled a bit like rotten flesh and it looked very dried up and crunchy.

“The head area was pretty decayed so you could see inside under the flesh and see the large skull. It looked like it was smiling or was in the middle of biting because the mouth was open wide and all the teeth were being displayed.”

Terran spoke with The Mirror and said, “At first we thought it was a small shark, due to the teeth, which were extremely sharp. It smelled a bit like rotten flesh and it looked very dried up and crunchy.

She also said some people thought it was a tuna or salmon, but she was positive that wasn’t it. 

Laura Bourque, who works as a wildlife pathologist at the Canadian Wildlife Health Co-operative, told The Mirror that she probably found the remains of a dolphin.

She added: “The kind of picture that is stirring everyone up is that one that’s kind of taken front-on where you see all the teeth, but this happens to me all the time. The specimen isn’t all that big but, in that picture, looks terrifying, right?”

Laura explained what likely happened: “Over the course of the winter, it was preserved quite a bit and then it started to decompose when it got to this time of year. It started looking fairly manky.”

Either way, we may stay a little closer to the shoreline for the next day or two.
