There’s something profound about creatures that could never live rotting forever

[urlcalJojofan]

I'm not scared of seeing them, I'm scared of falling in with these creepy ass beasts and having to swim through and seeing them from Underwater

[elrondmcbong]

No wonder FNAF got so big so fast. Deteriorating animatronics are creepy AF.

[chrisyoung]

This is horryfying. Never have i felt so unnerved and scared in my life! I love this!!!

[joshpeterson]

I had never seen that underwater drone footage. Awesome stuff. Glad to know that thing is still down there being creepy.

We used to go see the bunyips when I was little. It was sad how poorly visitors respected the attraction and it’s owners because the water was always packed with rubbish and sometimes even the odd “prophylactic” or even used needles. Mum used to say that’s why the bunyip was angry because people keep littering in his water. It was genuinely scary regardless.

I honestly think all those glitches the bunnyyip had worked in its favor - made it creepier 😂

Okay, I have a weird phobia that I’ve had since I was a kid and I have NO idea what it is.
I have an IMMENSE fear of seeing things underwater, like, anything. I discovered this fear when I was 7 when my friends threw a frisbee in a pool, and I volunteered to go and get it. It was a frisbee with a soccer ball pattern on it. When I dived into the pool and saw it suddenly appear as I swam to the bottom, I was suddenly horrified. Just thinking of it now scares me. What the hell is that phobia? The moment it’s out of water I’m cool, but seeing it under water just scares the shit out of me

I used to be so scared of the sea serpent photos but I feel like i’ve seen them so much now that he’s kinda grown on me. His face is just so dorky looking

[pinguinoJL]

Is it me or Does the Baby Bunnyip look like crazy frog?😂😂😂

[jacobl]

Water rides always freaked me out, as a kid. The scariest thing for me at Disney World was that 10, 000 Leagues Under the Sea ride. Not just the part where the sub gets "attacked" by the giant squid, the whole thing - the claustrophobia of being in the sub, the illusion of being submerged in deep water. And of course the various animatronics outside the viewports. I recently looked up some home videos people took of the ride, and just watching them gives me anxiety. Weirdly, I don't find the sea serpent especially creepy, and I didn't even remember he was part of it.

Good to know that they found more footage of the Baby Bunyip since that was considered lost media before.

As I was watching this I was very surprised to learn about Pleasure Island as I live extremely close to where it was. I asked my dad and he'd actually gone to the park as a kid and remembers the giant animatronic! I've been to the area before and vaguely remember my dad telling me about it at the time too

[naharyohanan]

People complained that an animatronic, designed to scare them, was scaring them?

[teptime]

Some guy found a massive animatronic EDDIE, the mascot for rock band IRON MAIDEN, left to rot in a field in the middle of nowhere. It had been a stage piece used in one of their tours. How it ended up where it did is anyone's guess, but someone subsequently made off with its head.

[chengxiong]

Bunnyip's radio actually sounds like a crying child really scary🥲

[XeroCool]

They should take all the rotten animatronics, put them in a haunted house, and give them a second life as horror attractions.

[aho]

Great, I live in Mass. If my family ever visit that park, I will bring up this lovely fact. "Hey did you know there is a rotting whale siting in that lol

[myshadowstalksme]

I feel bad. It’s sad when things are abandoned.

[RWA]

Imagine bringing a drone underwater to find a metal whale, thats scary af
