  • The ocean is a big place. In this video, I will discuss the true story of naturalist William Beebe's encounter with large and mysterious creatures from the abyss and offer explanations for the incident. Take a deep breath and don't touch those fish because this will be a deep dive into the curious case of the Untouchable Bathysphere fish of 1932 - likely one of the most plausible cryptids out there.

      and while we do have the saola, which is about 1m high and 1,5m long (so fairy large size), we actually have quite a number of bone, hide, and photo of the animal by now.. nothing has been found about the bipedal cryptids, however..

      @@gabriellarichbourg102 You may be right. Plus, often times descriptions of previously unknown animals can often be slightly different than what they are like in reality. Certain fins could be mistaken for limbs, dots for eyes, spines for fins. Especially with as dark as it can get down there, using artificial lights that are rather dim, shadows can be cast and also mistaken for parts of the fish. I can't think of any specific instance as an example, as im pretty tired at the moment, but you very well may be right.
      Then again, it could be just as possible that it was an entirely different species. Possibly one we have yet to rediscover and properly name or study it. Personally, I think that may be the case, as he says that the fish have the overall body shape of barracudas. Oar fish tend to be longer and more whip like, IMO, and they don't have noticeable fang like teeth, which he had pointes out.

    I didnt look at the length of this video and was thoroughly hurt and confused when I suddenly realized it was over. Grateful for all of your content but this low key made me sad since normally you do such lengthy content. Thank you for posting anything at all. Just my experience. I know im late to the punch idk if ur alive or ok but like yo thanks for being one of my favorite youtubers :D

    Wait, sort of a bonus cryptid profile? I'm shell shocked and happy at the same time!

    Wow I really liked this one very different from the usual debunks or alternative speculative zoology scenarios created by guys like you, Darren Nash and CM Kosmen for if these creatures where real. It is interesting to hear the possibility that a cryptid as fascinating as this could have existed and or still exist in some form. Great video as always dude.

    Beautiful painting. I like these 70's-80's images for illustrations in books and magazines.
    Like how they used to draw every new car for advertising, you know what I mean?

    I really dig the TREY art style that has been developing over the course of your videos. It’s almost like a signature of your videos.

    The story is fascinating and obviously there a plenty of species that haven’t been discovered or information to confirm a creature exist. It’s seems like a misjudgment in distance and size due to poor lighting, I think you covered this study with cardboard figures on one of your mothman videos, explaining where the teens were driving as fast as they could with dim headlights. As far as science knows, they most likely have seen most of these already :)

    (came from AVNJ) Nice video! I wouldn't have said at the end that it might be that these fish the guy saw exists, instead of the alternatives you presented, but other than that I think you did a solid job.
    And that Batman slapping meme was perfect.

    5:24 I believe those are oarfish he's describing. They're massive and very rare. But there is some fantastic footage of them. They often beach themselves in twos, which in inexplicable. I believe they're the fish that inspired stories of sea serpents.

      This actually does make sense and fit the discription given. I read somewhere that most if not all of the cryptids he discribed were real animals which have since been discorvered.
