Mystery at Shark Beach (full documentary) | Earth Touch TV

Second beach at Port St Johns is a small, rocky cove on the rural coast of southern Africa, well known locally for its excellent surfing conditions. But now a dramatic story of death, witchcraft and mystery is playing out as sharks inexplicably kill local surfers. It has been the scene of five shark attacks, turning this peaceful stretch of beach into the African equivalent of Amity. What's really going on?

When an addiction to your sport can kill you then you need to find a different sport.

[@Eduardolo1964]

I was in South Africa for the first time in 1997 on a road trip from Johannesburg to St. Lucia down to Cape Town. The whole coast is pretty shark-infested and caution is advised, especially at the River mouth. The trip also took me to Second Beach and even then the bullshark was blamed for the attacks. Of course, there are also lots of tiger sharks, white sharks, makos.... I only enjoyed swimming behind the nets in Durban, although many sharks were caught inside the nets. I can highly recommend a visit to the Natal Shark Board.

[@georgecarberry9222]

If animals are being killed on the beach or dumped in the ocean nearby, sharks will be drawn to the area & attacks will take place.

[@kieranhart5776]

One guy a long time ago said “sharks can smell 1 drop of blood in a million drops of water” and everyone keeps repeating it in all these shows like it’s fact. That would make maybe a bucket of water. If sharks can smell blood a mile away, that would put the number of droplets in the high billions of trillions of zillions.

If a group of kids skate boarded past a pride of lions in the kruger national park and got eaten what would we be saying then......

[@homewithaheartlastchancere5789]

STUPID..,. Is what we'd be saying,,...

[@deadnthehead4557]

Mistaken identity 😂

[@janicesmith2475]

😂 For some reason that’s a hilarious image 🛹 🦁

[@reneesantiago6496]

@@deadnthehead4557😂😂😂 Thank you! For some reason the experts want us to believe a perfect machine like the shark is so inept it’s senses fail them to mistake a human for a seal.

[@carolrainey8463]

They consider humans a territorial threat to their hunting waters!!

[@reneesantiago6496]

Right!!! Bingo!

[@carolrainey8463]

Look how bad the visibility is in that water. It's very dangerous to be in it !!

[@carolrainey8463]

PEOPLE JUST DON'T LEARN !!!!

[@carolrainey8463]

You're kidding me! Using a rubber boat for tagging sharks ???

[@serfranklin6022]

Someone was obviously filming them from another boat, if a shark was to bite the rubber boat, they would have had plenty of time to get to safely, those boats don't deflate in seconds, it takes a while

[@carolrainey8463]

They knew EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE !!!

[@bryanwithat6763]

Calling an attack “mistaken identity” is ridiculous.

[@buzz5969]

Yah they think boats, motors, trash cans, garbage all look like seals.😅😂👍🏻✌🏻🍻

[@royhenley2396]

How many factors line up here? This is not a shark issue, it's about humans willingly, defiantly putting themselves at risk, FOR FUN!!! Surfing near the world's largest Sardine migration??? Yeah, they'll need a whole team of scientist and experts to solve that mystery.

[@homewithaheartlastchancere5789]

Ur both so right....,.. it's not the people's beach..,... It belongs to the sharks..,

[@user-rq6wr3js4m]

I agree because sharks are the garbage collectors of the oceans, which means they will eat anything. They are not going to take a bite out of a human and say to themselves 'oops I wasn't supposed to do that and take off'. I reckon they would actually consider us to be tasty morsels.

[@paulahenderson7525]

AGREE

[@kieranhart5776]

When they say “there’s nothing they could do”, what they really mean is “there’s nothing they would do”. Most people won’t enter the water to attempt rescue, putting themselves at risk, and if they are already in the water near the victim, they swim the other way. 😂

[@GothicPhantom01]

Hang on- The "Professional" team went into agressive shark infested waters in a rubber dinghy? Also dangling their arms in the water with distressed small sharks making a commotion? Nope.

[@MarieJackson-sp3be]

The big sharks might attack the rubber dingy! A bit late to think about that, Duh.

[@StonedMickey]

Growing up I always wanted to go to Australia. After doing much research and learning that just about everything that swims, walks, crawls and flies can kill you. I wisely went to Hawaii instead. What a heavenly place, loved the people. What a dreadful, heart breaking those fires were. My blessings to everyone.

[@itskindac00l]

Hi, born and bred Australian here! Most of the deadly animals you have read about you will never encounter while in Australia. I live by the sea and spend a lot of time in the water, have never seen a wild shark larger than 30cm and never been stung by a jellyfish. There are spiders and snakes, but you don’t see them often, they don’t hunt humans and deaths from them are very rare. It’s a beautiful country, there’s no where in the world like it.

[@StonedMickey]

@@itskindac00l Thank you for your reply. Now I have to save more money to go there. I am very interested in the Blue Mountains, you don't happen to be a guide? (For free) Yuck, yuck

[@carolrainey8463]

Look how dirty that water is!!

[@Ghede888]

What kind of animal was that on the beach? It looked almost like an axe or bull or something. I wouldn't know

[@Gardylmon51]

Those guys need to get a bigger boat - one that's not inflatable!

[@carolrainey8463]

A surfboard will not save you from a big shark

[@JohnAtkinson-wl2bw]

Result after all the research = Different Species of Shark inhabit the Waters here. Wow What a Find.

[@anikajain571]

"The people want their beach back" 😂😂😂 When people have fins & gills & millions of years of ocean living adaptations we should reconsider their rights on this matter 😂

[@Gardylmon51]

My ex-wife has fins and gills - but denies she's a mermaid!

[@carolrainey8463]

STOP SAYING IT'S MISTAKEN IDENTITY!!!!! IT'S NOT !!! DO YOU SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT SHARKS DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HUMAN AND A FREAKING FISH !!! OR SEAL ! YOU'RE PRETTY NIEVE. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT!!!

[@reneesantiago6496]

It’s absolutely refreshing to see more and more people refuting that ridiculous “mistaken identity” nonsense!! Experts talk out both sides of their mouths on the subject! They tell us sharks are perfect machines at the top of the evolutionary success stories………then they want us to believe sharks senses fail them to think humans are seals!!! It’s absolutely ridiculous!!😡😡😡

[@georgecarberry9222]

There is another video about Second Beach.

[@elizabethpinkerton9866]

I love the way they say= he has a big future ahead of him, when they know the sharks got him and he is the fifth victim!

[@helluloidhoax]

How can another person on a surfboard help? Rediculous. It's just two meals instead of one!

[@gregwoolley6105]

Well the remote location tells you a lot in Africa. How about unmonitored fishing grounds? That strip may have many sharks but it's also the most overfishing ground in the world. It's no mystery to me at all.

[@Mammothsaber-4457]

Love how people on here acting like think they know better than actual scientists who spend there lives researching sharks

[@carolrainey8463]

There's some sharks that will eat that boat !!!😅

[@Matt-ww6nf]

"Sharks are eating humans here, and the reasons are unknown" Well... let's break it down, sharks are one of the top ocean predators, humans foolishly go in the waters where the sharks frequent. They're wild animals which makes them unpredictable and potentially dangerous, and we all know they're drawn to splashing around and shapes on the surface. Whether you get killed or just 'nibbled', all depends on how long the shark has been without food and how hungry they are. The best solution is to stay out of the water, it's a little known fact but 100% of people who don't go into the water, don't get attacked by sharks. Unless you're in that film where they walk up onto the beach and eat you. And on another note - sacrificing animals - NO! STOP IT!

[@MarieJackson-sp3be]

Oh - and bears are attacking tourists in Yellowstone, and the reasons are unknown! Lynxs are attacking rabbits, and the reasons are unknown. Get real.

[@carolrainey8463]

It's NOT our playground but is the sharks home!

[@nickm8874]

Every single bloody shark documentary on this entire platform, somebody makes this point as though it’s original. Do you say the same thing about people who die being savaged by dogs? “It’s on land. That’s their home” Imbecilic

[@jeremykirk1334]

I agree​@@nickm8874

[@djd23555]

They took an inflatable out there lol???

[@helluloidhoax]

Why do all that tracking and studying ? Stay the hell out of the sharks home. Wtf.

[@helluloidhoax]

Duhhhh. Sharks come & go wherever there is food. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

[@trishannbell5508]

Please stay out of the ocean...it breaks my heart to hear of people getting hurt, terrorized and killed by sharks.

[@Mongieboy]

33:26 The men aren't safe until they're back in the boat! Talk about stating the obvious. 🤔 37:14 and who the hell goes shark hunting in an inflatable boat? I mean Jesus Lord Almighty!! What is wrong with these dudes?

[@jeremykirk1334]

Just let some orca go in the area. 😂 those sharks will have a hear attack

[@carolrainey8463]

Find another sport and stay out of the sharks home!!!

[@jadentrez]

This guy would love to prove his theory, get his name in The National Geographic.

[@mnj640]

The reasons are unknown...uh because they're hungry maybe? Sometimes these academics just overthink stuff

[@siriusness7505]

@carol. Got issues much?

[@inkdemon64mclemore57]

Right!!!! Yikes lol

[@lonavalin4679]

Wearing a black wet suit will make you look like a seal. Sharks eat seals.

[@winterfoxcloud]

_sharks are eating humans here ... and the reasons are unknown ..._ wrong - sharks eat things. people are things.

[@Mammothsaber-4457]

Sharks don’t typically eat people

[@carolrainey8463]

Where's the women surfing????? Now you know why we outlive most men.

[@samanthabalmaceda221]

😂😂😂❤

[@carolrainey8463]

You cannot swim in the ocean!!!!!

[@siriusness7505]

?

[@johnshields6852]

You can study all you want for reasons sharks attack, Your in the water they might go for you for food it territory, they have very primitive brains, they don't dwell or wonder about you, your possibly a meal, that's it.

[@keniken2514]

I know why the sharks are eating people. They're hungry!

[@samashkannejad8440]

SEE AHURK MISTEKEN HUMAN WITH SEAILES IN THE SEA BEACUSE BOTH SOWEING SEAM IN THE WATER,,

[@helluloidhoax]

Dinosaurs, Sharks, Aligators, Polar Bears...It really doesn't matter. You will always find nut cases who will go out of their way to protect these violent, vicious creatures...until they get eaten haha. Serves them right. 😅

[@Mammothsaber-4457]

All those creatures are fascinating and should be protected from mans excesses, are they dangerous yes but most people understand that which is why there are ways to minimize the risk, and dinosaurs are extinct and pose no danger to man

[@HappB5]

Thumbnail looks like a shark with legs lol

[@janicesmith2475]

[@helluloidhoax]

These researchers are just as dumb in that inflateable raft as the ones who swim in the ocean.

Shark crime scene xD can you charge a shark with a crime? this goon lost me right here.

[@MegaTubescreamer]

hahahaha thats the most absurd statement ever,,, "sharks are eating humans here,and the reasons are unknown" ?? its cheaper than Maccy dee !!! for starters lol,and its fresher ,plus no queue`s

[@MarieJackson-sp3be]

There was absolutely no reason whatsoever to show the sacrificial chicken being sacrificed. It was only gratuitous violence. Shame on you! I will always be hesitant to watch Earth Touch, and I will warn others. DO NOT SHOW ANIMAL SACRIFICE!

[@carolrainey8463]

It's NOT OUR PLACE BUT BELONGS TO THE CREATURES WHO LIVE IN THE OCEAN! WE DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO BE THERE AND IT'S PRETTY AROGANT TO THINK WE DO.

[@helluloidhoax]

Face the fact. Most people are basically brain dead. Half the American population voted for Trump and will probably do it again. Avoid the American country at all costs. Stay in Africa or any other country where people love to get ate by sharks!
