Fear The Kraken: Sea Monsters That Lurk Beneath

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale.  This week, your Curator Zach is Krack-in' open the Lore of Sea Monsters.

The Kraken has haunted sailors' dreams for centuries – a colossal tentacled beast capable of dragging entire ships beneath the waves. From its origins in 13th century Norse sagas to scientific discoveries in our modern era, we track the evolution of this legendary sea monster and uncover some startling truths.

Join us as we separate fact from fiction and discover how sometimes, the most incredible legends contain more truth than we ever imagined.

What other legendary creatures might actually exist? Share your thoughts with us – we'd love to hear your favorite cryptid theories!
