  • Summary

  • In the scorching summer of 1916, terror lurked beneath the waves as a mysterious sea predator turned the Jersey Shore into a hunting ground. Over twelve harrowing days, swimmers vanished in a frenzy of blood and panic, and even an inland creek wasn’t safe from the carnage. What followed was a nationwide shark hysteria—an event so chilling, it would later inspire one of the greatest horror stories ever told. In this episode, we tell the story, and then play the quiz with Comedy Mind Reader, Eric Dittelman.
