In the warm, turquoise waters of the Bahamas, something ancient is said to stir beneath the waves. Locals whisper about the Lusca—a monstrous, tentacled sea creature lurking deep within the underwater cave systems known as blue holes. Described as part shark, part octopus, and all nightmare, the Lusca has been blamed for strange disappearances, deadly currents, and ocean floor mysteries that remain unsolved.
In this episode, Will and Steven dive deep into Caribbean legend and local lore to uncover the chilling stories behind this aquatic cryptid. From divers who vanish without a trace to sightings of enormous tentacles dragging prey into the depths, we explore the terrifying possibility that the Lusca isn’t just myth—but a survivor from a forgotten world.
Is the Lusca a misidentified sea creature, an exaggeration of natural danger—or is something truly monstrous waiting in the black water below? One thing’s for sure: after this episode, you might think twice before swimming too close to a blue hole.
