No wonder there are so many horror movies made about the ocean. Think of Deep Blue Sea and Jaws, and it’s clear that our ocean anxiety has long been lingering.

But you don’t need Hollywood to find out what happens there. Check out our previous article that features chilling stories from sailors, scuba divers, and surfers who have seen things in the ocean they’d much rather unsee.

This time, we are taking you on a similar ride into the deep waters with this viral thread that has people sharing the most disturbing facts about the ocean. Let’s start with the fact that only 5% of the ocean floor has been explored and I'll just leave it here.

30 Of The Creepiest Facts About The Ocean You Might Wish You Never Knew, As Shared In This Online Thread I remember watching a YouTube interview with a military diver. He described how when you’re doing a covert op you spend a lot of time just underwater doing nothing with no lights on until it’s time to move.

He specifically mentioned how he had to get used to having large things bump into him in the pitch black.

When we talk about oceans, we cannot ignore how tragically polluted it is. With each passing year, we expose the ocean to more pollutants, from trash to chemicals, industrial and agricultural waste, particles, excess carbon dioxide, and many others.

“What's really startling is how widespread human pollution is in the ocean,” Heather Spence, Marine Biologist orchestrating Coastal Marine Ecology Investigation and Outreach, told Bored Panda in an interview via email. Spence also researches underwater sound and noise on the MesoAmerican Reef that you check on her website "Ocean World Of Sound".

    30 Of The Creepiest Facts About The Ocean You Might Wish You Never Knew, As Shared In This Online Thread When a whale dies, it creates a whole new ecosystem

    Victor_IMayBeWeird , Mike Doherty Report

    “I don't know of any place, no matter how remote, that doesn't have evidence of human pollution. And since waste products of human activities continue to go into the ocean, you could say the situation is getting worse,” she said.

    Spence explained that short-term effects of ocean pollution include changes in animal behavior and sickness or death of marine organisms. “Long-term effects include these on larger scales and larger numbers of affected organisms, but also domino effects as decline or changes in one species impact other species that rely on them. For example, corals form the structure of coral reefs and if they die, it is a big problem for the whole ecosystem,” she said.

    “Other effects are to humans - even in the short term and certainly in the long term, we can get sick from contaminated seafood or swimming in contaminated water, and livelihoods and quality of life are impacted from the degradation of marine and coastal areas.”

    There are many ocean polluters, including plastics that Spence calls “a huge problem.” Then, there are chemicals from runoff from land. “An invisible one is a noise, yet it is also extremely impactful since sound travels very well underwater and marine animals use sound to communicate and navigate.”

    Having said that, Spence added that she likes to frame problems with the positive side of solutions. “When people feel hopeless or helpless, they may make short-sighted decisions, so it is important to maintain hope,” she said.

    “We are currently at the start of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Globally, scientists, policymakers, and creatives are coming together to discuss the best ways to respect, protect, and work with ocean systems. We are looking for win-win solutions that recognize humans are not just actors but members of ocean ecosystems. We need to remember that just as humans can be the problem, we can also be the solution. And we need to be practical about it.”

    This story is corroborated by the survivors. During one of the world wars, a ship was sunk and 11 survivors clung to a lifeboat until one of them was dragged down into the abyss by a "cephalopod". If he wasn't killed by the animal's beak, he would have died a horrific pressure death while the cephalopod probably rapidly descended with it's life prey. It's not possible to say which species this cephalopod belonged to, but the Giant Squid and Colossal Squid are the largest and heaviest known so far. And some scientists speculate there might lurk an even more massive species of cephalopods deep down in the ocean.

    And whenever you sail by boat and look down into the deep blue darkness of the ocean, remember that the probability will never be zero to be suddenly grabbed by one and dragged down into the total darkness, dying a horrible, horrible death.

    Spence has an example of one win-win solution which has to do with noise from boat motors. “The noise is not the purpose of the motor. It is a byproduct of energy lost in the form of sound. Reducing that sound at the source improves motor efficiency and reduces environmental impact.”

    30 Of The Creepiest Facts About The Ocean You Might Wish You Never Knew, As Shared In This Online Thread I tell new scuba divers this: The ocean doesn’t care about you. It’s not actively trying to kill you. But it will do a lot of things on its own that will absolutely kill you if you’re not prepared and paying attention.

    I realize this could apply to any natural environment but it feels much more apt when talking about the ocean. One wave that you weren’t prepared for can make your day pretty bad. For the ocean it’s just business as usual.

    30 Of The Creepiest Facts About The Ocean You Might Wish You Never Knew, As Shared In This Online Thread Point Nemo is the most isolated place in the world. It's in the middle of the South Pacific gyre, which is a massive rotating current that basically keeps any nutrients rich water from ever getting in. So there is no sea life anywhere to be found except for a few crabs and bacteria that live near some thermal vents on the ocean floor. It's so far away from any land that if you sailed there the closest people would be on the international space station. This is the location HP Lovecraft was describing when he provided the location of R’Lyeh where Cthulu and the other old ones love, although Lovecraft's coordinates were slightly off.

    And in 1997 the loudest unidentified underwater sound ever recorded, known as "the bloop", originated near there. It was loud enough that it was recorded from multiple sensors 5000 miles apart and lasted for over a minute.

    The prevailing theory is that it was ice cracking off the south pole but we don't actually know what caused it for sure.

    The Gulf Stream is created by the melting of ice from the north polar ice cap. That ice cap is rapidly disintegrating. Once it's gone, the Gulf Stream is gone. Once the Gulf Stream is gone, the weather pattern for the whole northern hemisphere dramatically changes.

    This will be catastrophic.

    Spence also argues that the best way to reduce marine pollution is the reduction of waste. “Remember Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? We often talk about recycling, but these three actions are in priority order. If we bring people together from a variety of perspectives and focus on reduction of waste at the sources, I am sure we can make a positive impact on ocean pollution,” she concluded.

    Moreover, World Listening Day is coming up on Monday, July 18th. "It's a good time to be putting a focus on ocean sound and noise. I'm the theme creator this year and here's the short video where I announce it," Heather Spence added.

    I always find this such a strange and dishonest comparasion. We have mapped the sort of large scale structure of the observable universe. At the same time, we've only mapped about 1% of our own galaxy, not to mention any other galaxy. And only 4.6% of everything in the observable universe is ordinary matter, the rest is dark matter and dark energy which _we're not even sure what that is _. That 4.6% ordinary matter is calculated to be there, but we've only actually observed the tiniest fraction of it.

    The deepest level of the ocean, the hadal zone or the hadopelagic zone (the terms are interchangeable), is so far underwater that there is little to no oxygen. It averages around 1100 standard atmospheres, which is like 16000 psi. For reference, the standard atmosphere of Earth is around 14 to 15 psi.

    For context, the hadal zone is anywhere from 6,000 to over 10,000 meters below sea level, and we really can't be 100% sure that Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean, since we've only mapped around 20% of Earth's oceans.

    Good news: it's unlikely any giant sea monsters live in the hadal zone. It's not exactly a habitable place. Bad news: animals, especially sea creatures, can adapt to incredibly harsh conditions.

    This is the result of a Googling binge I did a few weeks back when I started looking into deep sea creatures to base a terrifying mermaid off of.
