DOZENS OF OCTOPUSES CRAWL FROM THE SEA IN WALES IN 'END OF DAYS' BEACH SCENE
BY JOSH LOWE ON 10/30/17 AT 10:39 AM


Curled octopus (Eledone cirrhosa) in Cornwall, England. Dozens of the creatures have climbed out of the sea in Wales.

There’s a mysterious octopus invasion taking place on the beaches of Western Britain—and it could be an unexpected consequence of the hurricane season.

Brett Stones, who runs the SeaMôr dolphin-watching company in the Ceredigion area of Wales, saw around 25 octopuses climbing along the beach on Friday.

He posted a video of the creatures to his company’s Facebook page. Having lived in the area for all of his 39 years, Stones tells Newsweek, he has “seen it occasionally after a storm,” but “to see that many coming out of the water is unusual.”

He told the BBC it was like “an end of days scenario."

5. "Release the Kraken" has really done a disservice to the poem

which is nothing like so cheesy:

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.
