Hello my curious! Be all welcome to a new video.
In today's video I have prepared a list for you
with 10 strange things that have been found on beaches around the world.
From a gigantic skull of a supposed dragon,
to the intact body of an animal that lives deep in the ocean.
This sounds interesting, right?
But before starting with the subject I have a small question for you.
In my previous video, the one about people with impressive abilities,
I told you about a man who has the ability to eat all kinds of strange objects,
Do you happen to remember his name?
If you watched my previous video, you probably already know the answer.
And, if not, well, you're screwed.
To make it more fun here I am going to leave these 4 options on your screen,
choose the option that you think is correct
and write it down here in the comments right now.
At the end of the video I am going to tell you the name of this man 'eat it all'
and let's see if you got it right with your answer, okay?
Now we're all set, sit back and enjoy it, bro.
I'm Curious Ben, and… How curious are you?
In the year 2020, on the beach of Guaca on the Caribbean coast of Venezuela,
a fisherman walking calmly along the shore of the beach
found something amazing.
It was a pure gold medallion worth thousands of dollars.
Although he wasn't sure at first if it was a genuine item or a fake,
fortunately for him, it turned out to be 100% real.
Excited by his find,
the man told his neighbors what he had found buried under the sand
and within a few hours more than 200 people were on this beach
hoping to run with the same luck.
To everyone's surprise,
throughout the arena many valuable objects were found
like earrings, flutes and rings valued at thousands of dollars.
The curious thing about this story is that it was never known
how all these objects got there.
The most widespread theory is that some storm capsized a pirate ship several centuries ago
and the treasure they were carrying ended up on the shore of this beach thanks to the waves.
Although it may sound like a far-fetched theory,
the truth is that it has a lot of logic.
Finding a pirate treasure is one of the strangest finds
that have been made on beaches.
At the Atlantic Highlands beach in New Jersey, United States,
a 14-year-old boy found a mysterious box
that contained something very curious inside.
At first the boy thought it was some treasure,
but it turned out to be something much more sentimental.
Inside this box were 57 love letters,
which were dated between 1942 and 1948.
That is around the time of World War II or so.
The letters had been written by a woman named Dorothy Fallon
and they were addressed to her boyfriend, Lynn Farnham,
who was an American soldier
who was fighting in World War II.
In the letters you could read how difficult it was for the couple to be so far away
not knowing if they would see each other again one day.
Although at present you can communicate with a person
who is on the other side of the world with a text message,
in the past, letters were the only form of communication at a distance.
The boy who found the letters managed to get them to the families of the original owners.
Finding a handful of letters from two strangers
which were written almost 80 years ago...
Not such a common find on a beach.
Have you ever seen a fish like this?
It's a balloon fish
and in the year 2021 a copy of these fish
appeared on the shore of the beach of Newport Beach, in California.
You probably didn't even know of its existence.
These fish live more than 900 meters deep in the ocean
and they are rarely seen.
When a specimen of these animals reaches the surface
it is usually beaten up or in very bad shape,
sometimes it is even difficult to identify what type of fish it is,
but this specimen in question reached the beach almost intact,
with his entire body and without any sign of mistreatment.
It is not known what could have caused the death of this creature,
let alone how it got here
despite living in such a deep part of the ocean.
The tourist who found it reported his find to the authorities
and after a few hours he was taken to a laboratory for further study.
Although it was already known of its existence,
not much was known about this species.
It is hoped that with this finding our knowledge about the creatures
who live in such inaccessible areas will increase.
In the year 2021, on a beach in Girona, in Spain,
a strange metal bar appeared that until then was of unknown origin.
The people who saw it from a distance believed
that it was a shower or something like that,
but when they got closer they realized that it was a metallic monolith that had nothing else.
During the year 2020, metal bars like this appeared in different parts of the world,
from remote places in Russia, to the middle of a desert in the United States.
For a long time no one knew who had placed them or with what intention.
During the following weeks
many people claimed to be the creators of these monoliths,
some of them even presented evidence,
but so many people showed up
that we can't be sure who was the mastermind behind them.
A theory that was widely spread during those days
is that it was an object that came from another planet
and others went even further saying that the global elite
used them to distract people.
Whatever the truth,
the reality is that almost all of these monoliths disappeared as they came,
without leaving any trace.
You don't find a monolith as curious as this every day on a beach.
- Hogwash! - Benny...
Shut that big mouth, no one has to find out it was us.
Imagine that you are walking along the beach
and suddenly you find dozens of creepy dolls
scattered all over the place, what would you do?
If you visit the beaches located between Padre Island and Matagorda Island in southeast Texas,
that's probably the landscape you come across.
It turns out that Texas beaches are some of the most polluted in the entire country.
According to calculations made by researchers,
these beaches receive up to 10 times more trash than any other state.
Although it is sad, on the beaches of this area it is very common to find accumulated garbage,
what researchers still don't know
it's why there are so many dolls like these scattered throughout the area.
One theory says that a shipment of dolls probably sank near the Gulf of Mexico
and the tides drag them periodically to these beaches,
but it is only a theory.
The real reason remains an unsolved mystery.
What is a fact is that if you suffer from 'pediophobia',
which is the fear of dolls,
you shouldn't even go near this beach.
I know that what you are seeing looks like a very ugly stone,
but don't judge it so quickly,
it is actually ambergris.
In the year 2021,
a woman walking along a beach in the province of Nakhon, in Thailand,
she realized that on the shore there was a huge lump that looked like a stone.
Upon closer examination she found that it had a slight fishy odor
and a silky consistency.
At first she didn't know what it was about,
but after asking several people
she realized that what she had in his hands was a very valuable treasure.
Ambergris is a secretion produced by the intestine of sperm whales,
it is one of the rarest and most expensive substances in the world.
It's basically whale vomit
and is used in the perfume industry.
Due to its rarity, a single kilo of this thing is valued at thousands of dollars.
In the case of the lucky woman,
she is known to have found one of the largest pieces of ambergris
that have been discovered to date.
And for its size, it was appraised at over $200,000 USD, can you imagine that?
In the year 2013, this huge skull of a dragon
washed up on a beach in Dorset County, southwest England.
The skull in question was quite large,
it was almost 13 long and almost 3 meters high.
The morning the skull appeared,
some people who usually frequent the area thought
that it was the skeleton of some unknown animal,
but when they got closer they realized that it was actually a sculpture.
The skull had been installed as part of a marketing campaign
from a UK television station.
The objective was to promote the third season of the very famous series 'Game of Thrones',
which was about to be released at the time.
The gigantic skull was a reference to a scene from the story
where one of the protagonists discovers some dragon eggs in King's Landing,
the capital of the kingdom.
For lovers of mystery and curious stories
it was a disappointment to learn that it was not the real skull of a dragon,
but this is definitely not something you find on every beach.
- Bullsh*t! - Benny...
I'm not going to buy you a giant skeleton of a cat to take to the beach.
In the year 2017, these gigantic pipelines, almost half a kilometer long each,
appeared on the north coast of Norfolk, in England.
You may be wondering how the hell these pipes ended up on a beach.
It seems that everything was due to an accident at sea.
The plastic pipes that measured 480 meters to be exact
were owned by the company Pipelife,
whose specialty is manufacturing pipes of all kinds.
The pipelines in question were being towed by ships
from northern Norway to Algeria.
But an accident on one of the ships caused
that all of them would end up on this beach in England.
Fortunately the accident remained an anecdote.
Pipes as big as these could have caused some other accident,
they were big enough to crush anyone who came near them.
Just by seeing its diameter you already give an idea of ​​its greatness,
a person could easily pass through them.
Luckily no one got hurt
and the 12 pipes that were released on the ship were able to reach their destination in Algeria.
If you visit any beach in the next few days,
I doubt very much that you will find gigantic pipes like these,
so I consider it one of the strangest things
they have come to the beach.
Year 2011, Siesta Key Beach, Florida, United States,
a large LEGO figure 2.5 meters high and 50 kilos in weight
appeared in the middle of the beach without anyone explaining how it got here.
On his back it had written the name of Ego Leonard and the number 8,
and on the front you could read the phrase 'No Real Than You Are'.
The figure was discovered that morning by a man named Jeff Hindman,
seeing it from a distance, Jeff thought it was some piece of trash
that someone had thrown on the beach,
so he decided to come over to inspect.
To his surprise it wasn't a piece of trash,
but a gigantic LEGO figure.
But it wasn't just any LEGO figure,
but one made by an anonymous artist who calls himself Ego Leonard.
The real identity of this artist is not known with certainty,
it is only known that he has already created other dolls similar to this one
and he has placed them on beaches in different parts of the world.
Many of his figures are now on display in art galleries or museums,
and have a value close to $4000 USD.
Luckily for Jeff, who was the one who discovered the figure on this Florida beach,
the figure now belongs to him and he can sell it if he wishes.
In the year 2010, the gigantic trunk that you see on the screen
washed up on the beach at La Push in Washington, United States.
It is one of the largest trunks that have been discovered on this beach,
but it's not the only one.
La Push is a beach that is part of the Olympic National Park,
In this area there is a forest full of hundred-year-old trees
that have grown enormously over the decades.
When the winter season comes,
strong winds often uproot these trees
and end in a nearby river that flows into La Push beach.
This is a phenomenon that occurs quite frequently.
If one day you visit this beach,
Don't be surprised to find tree trunks everywhere.
Some of them are semi buried, others are stacked
and, if you're lucky, you might see a gigantic one like this.
The phenomenon is so common that ancient tribes that visited the area
came to the beach to take advantage of the wood from these trees in their constructions.
I don't know about you, but I think trunks as gigantic as these
you will not find them on any beach.
That's all for today!
So this video was quite curious, right?
Well, if you liked it as much as I did,
you should give a thumbs up right now
because that helps me a lot to know if you really enjoyed it.
If you want to see another video about strange things found on beaches,
you already know what to do.
The answer to the question at the beginning of the video is option 'A', Michel Lotito.
Michel Lotito was a man who was capable of eating metal and even rubber
without a tummy ache,
that's why he earned the nickname Mr. Eat It All.
If you want to know his history
and the story of other people with truly amazing abilities,
I'm going to leave you a link up here so you can see it right now.
And as I always tell you at the end,
