Shark Chomps Pelican in Florida, Swimmers Unfazed (Video)
Reporting on the video, awesomely-named Louisiana country music station 97.3 'The Dawg,' described: 'A video on social media shows a small crowd of beachgoers standing in the water as a large bull shark reportedly eats a pelican. You can see some people rush out of the water as the shark approaches the shore, but two women closest to the shark were undeterred by this potential threat.'
Yeah, those two women seem totally unfazed; watch below.
The footage was posted on June 20th on a Facebook page called 'All Things Navarre Beach & Pensacola Beach Official,' with the caption: 'Footage captured of a shark taking down a pelican yesterday at Pensacola Beach! Be careful & alert.'And while the action is most obviously happening between the bull shark and the bird, most people couldn't get past the fact that these two women just stood there, very close, and watched as the vicious attack went down. One commenter wrote:
'Probably should get all the way out of the water. These are the ones you can't feel sorry for if something were to happen. I promise that shark is quicker in that water than anyone in the picture. Best of luck have fun.'
In other Florida shark news, at the same spot in Pensacola, an angler hooked an 11-foot, 1,000-pound tiger shark, then posed with it for this insane photo:
And before that, avid surfer Matt Bender was attacked by a shark while surfing at New Smyrna Beach – aka the 'shark bite capital of the world' – getting his arm totally shredded in the process. And yet, he vowed to paddle back out once he's healed up.
Yep, safe to say, Floridians are thoroughly desensitized to shark activity.Shark Chomps Pelican in Florida, Swimmers Unfazed (Video) first appeared on Surfer on Jul 10, 2025

Paranormal investigator Dan Rivera dies suddenly on ‘Annabelle' haunted doll tour
A paranormal investigator died suddenly on Sunday night while touring with the infamous and supposedly haunted Annabelle doll, his tour organizers have announced. Dan Rivera, a US Army veteran, was in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on his sold-out 'Devils on the Run Tour' when firefighters and medics were rushed to his hotel, the Evening Sun reported. CPR was performed but Rivera, 54, died, according to the New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR), where he was the lead investigator. Advertisement His exact cause of death remains unclear. 4 Paranormal investigator Dan Rivera has died suddenly at the age of 54. Instagram/@dan_rivera_nespr Rivera was featured as a paranormal investigator on the Travel Channel's 'Most Haunted Places,' and served as producer for a number of other shows, including Netflix's '28 Days Haunted.' Advertisement As part of his tour, Rivera was traveling around the US with other members of NESPR to show off Annabelle, the creepy and allegedly demonic doll. His death came after he finished a three-day sellout stop in Gettysburg from Friday through Sunday, hosted by 'Ghostly Images of Gettysburg Tours' at the Soldiers National Orphanage, the NESPR said on Monday. 4 He was on tour with Annabelle, the supposedly haunted Raggedy Ann doll. Facebook/Dan Rivera Rivera, who is survived by his wife Sarah and four children, used social media, including viral TikToks, to bring the tour to international attention. Advertisement Fellow paranormal investigator Ryan Buell paid tribute to Rivera. 'I have so many amazing memories with this guy. Just as recently as two months ago, we traveled around the country and introduced a whole new generation to Ed and Lorraine Warren's legacy,' he wrote on TikTok. 4 Rivera had just completed a three-day sellout run in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, when he died. Facebook/Dan Rivera Annabelle, a Raggedy Ann doll, was tied to a series of supposed hauntings in 1970 after being given to Connecticut nursing student named Donna. Advertisement Ed and Lorraine Warren, the famous paranormal investigators, claimed the doll physically lifted its own arms, followed people around the apartment, and would display other frightening and malicious behavior. The couple also claimed Annabelle had stabbed a police officer and caused a car crash involving a priest. 4 He is survived by his wife and four children. Facebook/Sarah Bond Rivera A psychic medium claimed the doll was inhabited by the spirit of a dead 6-year-old girl called Annabelle, and the Warrens said it was demonically possessed and moved the doll to their museum in Connecticut. The Warrens, who founded the NESPR in 1952, investigated a number of mysterious cases, including the Amityville Horror house on Long Island and the Annabelle doll. Their stories inspired 'The Conjuring,' the highest-grossing horror movie series worldwide. After Ed's death in 2006, followed by that of Lorraine in 2019, the Warrens' occult museum and the NESPR have been maintained in Connecticut by their daughter Judy and son-in-law, Tony Spera. Advertisement In 2019, the museum closed to the public over zoning issues, and in recent years, they have toured around the US instead. Back in mid-May, conspiracy theorists tried to link Annabelle to a prison breakout and devastating fire in Louisiana, pointing to the timing of the doll's tour stop in New Orleans. But Spera stamped out the speculation, telling the Post that Annabelle was never 'out of our control' during the pit stop in the Big Easy.

Disney fans horrified by new exhibit featuring animatronic Walt Disney: ‘I'm low-key scared'
Something's amiss at the House of Mouse. Ahead of Disneyland's 70th anniversary, slated for July 17, the Imagineering team offered fans a long-awaited sneak peek at the new Main Street exhibit — and fanatics are short-circuiting over the news. 3 The 2-minute segment is supposed to give fans an idea of what Disney's in-person presence was like, Josh D'Amaro, the company's experiences chairman, said when the exhibit was first announced. Disney The special exhibit titled 'Walt Disney – A Magical Life' celebrates the legacy and life of the franchise's famed founder with a 16-minute-long life-size show. Notably, two of those precious moments see the first-ever audio-animatronic figure of Walt himself in a recreated version of his original office. Though many fans appreciated the company's motive behind the exhibit, they didn't find the figure's appearance faithful, replying under the park's Instagram announcement, one fan called it 'a massive swing and a miss.' Back when the news was initially announced, Joanna Miller, Walt Disney's granddaughter, publicly criticized the franchise for recreating his likeness in the animatronic tribute. 'People are not replaceable. You could never get the casualness of his talking,' wrote Miller in her initial Facebook post. 'I think I started crying,' she told the Los Angeles Times after she saw robo-Disney for the first time. 'It didn't look like him, to me.' After the animatronic's appearance was finally revealed to the public on July 14, many fans seemed to share the sentiment and took to the comments of the franchise's Instagram announcement with their thoughts. 3 The exhibit in the lobby includes a variety of artifacts and heirlooms from the park's early days. Disney 'I was SOOO EXCITED for this and now I'm low-key scared,' read one reply. 'You really had a chance to do something here, and instead you insulted the reason you all have jobs,' ranted one scathing fan. 'Once again, this has been the Disney motto as of recent — how much money can we get out of it, and how quickly can we get it done to pump it out. Seems like no effort was put into this to make sure it looked like Walt. Just shameful and embarrassing.' Though a majority of comments expressed disappointment, others found the tribute moving. 'I'm genuinely not okay in the best way,' gushed one ride-or-die fan, while another said: '10 seconds in and hearing his voice already got me teary.' 3 'Can't wait to see this in person,' a user wrote. Christian Thompson/Disneyland Resort Aside from the fact that, in the opinion of Miller and many others, the animatronic didn't resemble the man himself, she also criticized the company's move because she says her grandfather didn't want to be remembered as a robot. Imagineer Jeff Shaver-Moskowitz rebuffed Miller in an April statement: 'In all our research, we never found any documentation of Walt saying that. We know that it's anecdotal and we can't speak to what was told to people in private.'
