The 1916 Jersey Shore shark attacks changed how Americans feared the water. Sydney's 1935 Shark Arm murder case began when a captive shark vomited a tattooed human arm. Henrique Couto follows both cases in this Shark Week edition of Thursday Thrills, separating disputed details from the evidence. The journey also examines the unverified Black Demon, the Stronsay Beast, and megalodon's place in prehistory. Real shark biology adds river hunters and long-lived Greenland sharks. Explore the history behind the headlines without treating folklore as proof that an extinct predator survives.
