The Jersey Shore Shark Attacks
During the summer of 1916, the residents of Jersey Shore were being terrorized by a shark. A great white shark took the lives of young men by the name of Charles Bruder, Charles Vansant, Lester Stillwell, and Watson Stanley Fisher. There was also an unnamed lifeguard who was maimed by the creature, as well as another victim called Joseph Dun. People say that it served as the inspiration behind the Jaws series, although Peter Benchley has denied these claims.
