AMBUSHED By A MASSIVE Saltwater Crocodile - The Terrifying True Story Of Peter Reimers

#crocodile #horrorstories #truestory

In April 1975, Peter Reimers and two of his mates head into the Australian bush for a hunting and fishing holiday on the Mission River near Weipa, Queensland. Something they've done countless times before... While his mates were fishing for Barramundi and Mangrove Jack, Peter heads to a favorite spot to hunt feral pigs. He had no idea that HE was actually the one being hunted by a massive saltwater crocodile. Peter is ambushed when he goes down to the edge of a narrow creek to cool off. When he doesn't return to camp that evening his friends launch a search of the area and soon find the grizzly scene where the croc is still present. They return to the scene with local police, who put the animal down and recover Peter's remains which they find almost fully intact. The croc responsible is measured at 16ft, however it's missing a substantial portion of its tail, which if it had maintained would put it at an estimated 19ft! A true giant.

This video is an imagining of what must have happened to Peter Reimers based on the evidence found at the scene of the attack. There are several stories about what may have transpired that day circulated by the media. Some accounts have Peter sitting in the creek to cool off... some have him falling asleep at the base of the tea tree. Others have him going to the creek bank to get a drink or splash his face to cool down. The most complete account I read was included in a book on croc attacks which includes the eye witness accounts of his friends that were present with him on the trip and who initially searched for him and assisted police. Their account recalls the boot prints and area of obvious struggle left in the muddy bank. This video is the most likely scenario based on this account as provided by Peter's mates.
