Welcome to What The Heck season 4! This podcast explores unexplained phenomena using stories gathered from various sources, then applies an academic research method to find theories and solutions for each one. So far, we've been unsuccessful in finding any concrete answers, but a few of the stories we've covered have been solved. Today, we're looking at a vomiting shark in Sydney, Australia. In 1935, during the Anzac Day festivities, a shark that had been placed in a tank vomited up a human arm. As small amounts of evidence began to build, the police began to investigate a murder. After 2 arrests and another death, the trial of a suspect ended with his acquittal. Who's arm was it? What happened to the man it belonged to? Who are the suspects? Why was one acquitted? Listen in to find out!
