Everyone Is Freaking Out About This Batshit Insane Sea Monster

No one's really sure if it's real, either.

Yesterday, Newcastle resident Ethan Tippa uploaded this photo of a ridiculous and bizarre sea monster washed up at the Swansea boat ramp.

Everyone is a mixture of freaked out and confused by the beast, with hundreds of comments discussing if the image is a fake, or what the sea creature might be.

The original Facebook post has gotten over a thousand shares and hundreds of comments.

Some seem to think it's a mutated eel, while others kept to telling Tippa, who took the photo, not to eat it.

BuzzFeed News has contacted Ethan Tippa and the Newcastle Game Fishing Authority for further statement.
