28. Folly Beach Beast
The now infamous South Carolina story of the Folly Beach Beast has become quite a tale in the area for the last few years. It all began in 2012 when some sort of then-dead sea species washed ashore in Charleston. It was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. There was also no species that looked like this in the waters currently, so what was this thing?
Well, it turns out that this horrifying sea monster of sorts was not exactly abnormal nor technically even a monster at all. It happened to be a sturgeon that died, and after so long they developed a look that was kind of monstrous. These fish grow to great sizes as well, so it was not shocking that people were so surprised to see this thing.
