Most people think sharks are the most terrifying thing lurking beneath the waves.
They're wrong.
For a lifeguard on a routine rescue mission, what begins as a desperate race to save a struggling swimmer quickly turns into a nightmare. Out on the open ocean, surrounded by dark water and circling predators, the situation is already deadly enough.
Then something appears beneath the surface.
Something far larger.
Something that makes even the sharks flee.
As the sea erupts into chaos and the line between survival and death vanishes, one horrifying question remains: if creatures as deadly as sharks are afraid of what lurks in the deep... what exactly is waiting down there?
Tonight's story is a chilling reminder that the ocean hides secrets far older, and far more terrifying, than we can imagine.
Today’s phenomenal story is the complete ‘There Are Worse Things Than Sharks in the Ocean’, an original story by Page Turner 627; shared directly with me via my sub-reddit and read here with the author’s express permission:

Real human voice horror narrations, no AI voice ever!
Background music by me (freely available for use by other Creepypasta / No Sleep narrators):

Other music used is credited to the wonderful The Dark Somnium (intro) and the fantastic Tanner Stokes (end credits). The music is used here with their express permission.

Video footage was made by me with whatever Go Pro Camera it is that I own... I hope you found it to be a relaxing backdrop for today’s story! This was filmed on the sea between Yalova and Istanbul. I will be there for a holiday in a few weeks from now!
