Weird News: Gargantuan Catfish Preying on Humans?
Wednesday, October 22, 2008
Irving S. Cobb (author of the weird tale "Fishhead") and H.P. Lovecraft may soon have their tales of oceanic horrors proven truer. Rumors from India suggest the existence of a terrifying man-eating catfish that's vigorously acting on a taste for human flesh. The creature allegedly fed on corpses before refining its tastes to something livelier. At the very least, India will be able to add this one onto an already long list of bizarre cryptids. And if it turns out to be true, we can all thrash in our nightmares over the unthinkable fate of being gnawed to death by a mammoth catfish.
