Tourist spots ‘huge’ shark swimming around harbour during high tide in Cornwall
A TOURIST has spotted a “huge” shark swimming around a harbour during high tide in Cornwall.
Olga Bates, 46, was visiting popular seaside resort St Ives with family when they caught sight of the sizeable fish near a collection of boats.

They snapped a photo of the beast at 6.26am on March 23 as they strolled along the seafront.
Experts have identified it as a basking shark, which can grow up to 45 feet long.
The species is the second-largest type of shark, behind the whale shark, and eat by swimming with their huge mouths gaping open to catch plankton as they filter water through their gills.
Olga, who was visiting the town from Knighton, Wales, explained that her attention had been caught by a group of seals that was “hiding” from the vast creature.
She said: “We were very lucky.
“We woke up so early to watch the sunrise and spotted seals hiding under the bridge and then we saw what they were hiding from – the shark.
“It was amazing to see and it was so close to the beach. I was an amazing surprise for us, we have never seen one that close before.
“We were enjoying the views and the sunshine, we were overwhelmed.”
She added that the shark was about 10 feet long and was larger than some of the boats it passed as it circled the harbour.
The family stayed and watched it swim until the tide began to go out and it vanished.
An ecstatic Olga went on: “It was amazing to see it so close, I was so lucky and my grandson was very excited.”
The Wildlife Trust describes the basking shark as a “gentle giant” and they are not commonly known to be aggressive towards humans.
However, the Trust advises anyone who encounters a basking shark in the water to give it plenty of space as its sheer size can make it dangerous.
The Trust’s website states: “Remember that sharks can be unpredictable.
“If swimming with the sharks, stay in a group and remain at least 4m from each shark.
“You should never touch the shark.”

From ‘Stranger Things’ To ‘We Have A Ghost’ David Harbour Shines As Ernest
Rave Escape cruise on Sydney Harbour rivals Mardi Gras parade as hundreds dance at ‘hardcore’ party
David Harbour is Ernest the friendly ghost in ‘We Have a Ghost’ trailer
One of the top ten rules of cinema dictates that whenever a family moves into a new home for a fresh start, there’s sure to be a ghost lurking in the shadows.
Based on the short story “Ernest” by Geoff Manaugh, Netflix‘s We Have a Ghost follows a teenage boy’s discovery of a ghost in his new home, that’s played by none other than David Harbour. Personally, if I found out David Harbour was haunting my home as a ghost called Ernest, I would not complain, and it seems that the sentiment is shared with Kevin’s (Jahi Di’Allo Winston) family.
Ernest immediately becomes some sort of a family friend, with Kevin adamant on finding out what happened to him in his life. He’s also become a viral sensation thanks to a video Kevin took of him, and everyone from Jennifer Coolidge (playing a famous medium) to the CIA wants a shot of Ernest. Well, the CIA actually wants to capture Ernest which leaves Kevin with no choice but to hit the road with Ernest by his side and the CIA at his heels.
The rollercoaster adventure of a ghost that everyone can see is loaded with hilarious hijinks and an erratic Coolidge jumping out of a window (I’m suddenly getting war flashbacks to a certain boat in Sicily), and promises to be a wild ride filled with frights and fun.
We Have a Ghost‘s cast also includes Tig Notaro, Erica Ash, and Anthony Mackie.
