Many people look forward to summer, dreaming of swimming in nearby waters and taking a break from their worries. But some have seen the darker side of nature. Think about submarine researchers, scuba divers, surfers, Navy SEALs, sailors, and others who know the deep waters; they have all shared some really strange and unsettling experiences.
The Story:
One quiet night in the Bahamas, I was alone on my boat. Everything was calm and peaceful. Then, suddenly, a huge, bright light appeared under the water, right beneath me. It was so bright that it lit up the whole area for a few seconds. Then, just like that, the light disappeared. I tried to understand what it was—maybe a whale moving plankton—but it didn’t feel right. Even now, I can’t shake the feeling that it was something much stranger than I’ll ever know.
