00:00:16,010 --> 00:00:14,089
greetings and salutations friends this

2
00:00:19,490 --> 00:00:16,020
is the first of our new series of True

3
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:19,500
Seeker shorts what is it today's subject

4
00:00:24,529 --> 00:00:22,500
is a particularly interesting video that

5
00:00:27,050 --> 00:00:24,539
people keep sending me

6
00:00:30,769 --> 00:00:27,060
this video depicts what appears to be a

7
00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:30,779
very strange creature this video has

8
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:33,000
been making the rounds on social media

9
00:00:37,729 --> 00:00:35,160
and many people are making some pretty

10
00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:37,739
Fantastical claims about the creature

11
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:40,140
depicted in this video

12
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:42,480
I've seen some people claiming that it

13
00:00:47,389 --> 00:00:45,180
is a merman from Atlantis who somehow

14
00:00:50,209 --> 00:00:47,399
got tangled up in fishing nets and got

15
00:00:52,490 --> 00:00:50,219
captured still others have claimed that

16
00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:52,500
it is an alien from some Far Away

17
00:00:57,709 --> 00:00:55,280
aquatic world in the Stars

18
00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:57,719
so what is it

19
00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:00,719
first the mystery video includes some

20
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:02,820
interesting clues about what this

21
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:06,060
creature really is the presence of some

22
00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:08,640
things I know for a fact that latex prop

23
00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:11,460
makers use like an air compressor and a

24
00:01:17,030 --> 00:01:14,520
hair dryer to me was a dead giveaway

25
00:01:20,690 --> 00:01:17,040
that what is depicted in this mystery

26
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:20,700
video is actually a latex movie prop

27
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:23,040
but you can't do research by just

28
00:01:28,429 --> 00:01:25,680
Proclamation so I know I'd have to find

29
00:01:31,490 --> 00:01:28,439
the movie that this was in and do a very

30
00:01:34,609 --> 00:01:31,500
detailed comparison we needed to know

31
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:34,619
what movie this was actually used in if

32
00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:38,159
it is indeed a latex movie crop so I

33
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:40,560
scoured the internet and at first I came

34
00:01:45,890 --> 00:01:43,439
up pretty empty until I came across a

35
00:01:48,429 --> 00:01:45,900
post about sea monsters in film and

36
00:01:51,889 --> 00:01:48,439
television and saw a particularly

37
00:01:55,249 --> 00:01:51,899
familiar creature after reading the post

38
00:01:56,810 --> 00:01:55,259
to me the mystery behind this video was

39
00:02:00,350 --> 00:01:56,820
completely solved

40
00:02:02,330 --> 00:02:00,360
it was indeed a latex prop but not from

41
00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:02,340
a movie but rather from the science

42
00:02:06,289 --> 00:02:04,799
fiction television series called Raised

43
00:02:08,870 --> 00:02:06,299
by Wolves

44
00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:08,880
we found the exact episode that this

45
00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:11,459
prop was used in and we will show you

46
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:14,220
that footage the first time I show the

47
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:16,020
footage is pretty stock for the

48
00:02:20,809 --> 00:02:18,060
television series but the second time we

49
00:02:22,670 --> 00:02:20,819
show you the footage I have zoomed in so

50
00:02:26,449 --> 00:02:22,680
you can see the Creature from the TV

51
00:02:26,459 --> 00:02:32,740
foreign

52
00:03:10,930 --> 00:02:56,020
[Music]

53
00:03:16,610 --> 00:03:14,089
clearly the latex prop depicted in our

54
00:03:19,149 --> 00:03:16,620
mystery video making the rounds and the

55
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:19,159
creature used in this television series

56
00:03:23,890 --> 00:03:22,560
Raised by Wolves is the exact same

57
00:03:27,170 --> 00:03:23,900
creature

58
00:03:29,630 --> 00:03:27,180
interestingly the television show uses a

59
00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:29,640
mix of special effects to create the

60
00:03:33,970 --> 00:03:32,280
illusion of this sea creature the first

61
00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:33,980
part of the sequence

62
00:03:40,610 --> 00:03:37,860
shows a creature that is generated in my

63
00:03:42,589 --> 00:03:40,620
opinion by CGI the first sequence for

64
00:03:45,589 --> 00:03:42,599
the television show Raised by Wolves we

65
00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,599
see a CGI version of the exact same

66
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,000
creature shown in the mystery video

67
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:50,640
later in the sequence we see the female

68
00:03:55,309 --> 00:03:53,280
actress actually bend down and get right

69
00:03:58,729 --> 00:03:55,319
on top of the creature this is difficult

70
00:04:02,750 --> 00:03:58,739
to do with CGI which is why they

71
00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:02,760
probably used a latex creature prop in

72
00:04:09,890 --> 00:04:04,280
those scenes

73
00:04:11,809 --> 00:04:09,900
latex sea monster prop the scenes where

74
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:11,819
the girl bends down and gets right on

75
00:04:16,729 --> 00:04:13,620
top of the creature

76
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:16,739
so while I'd love to see a real merman

77
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:20,040
from Atlantis or an alien creature from

78
00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:22,380
an Exotic Aquatic World somewhere out

79
00:04:28,129 --> 00:04:25,680
there in space this is clearly a latex

80
00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:28,139
sea monster prop used in the television

81
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:30,960
series Raised by Wolves specifically

82
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:34,800
season 2 episode 5. I reached out to a

83
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:36,840
producer connected to the show and he

84
00:04:42,409 --> 00:04:39,060
confirmed for me that we were absolutely

85
00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,419
correct in our analysis the mystery

86
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:44,639
footage of the creature was actually

87
00:04:49,730 --> 00:04:47,040
taken from the social media of one of

88
00:04:52,370 --> 00:04:49,740
the special effects artists

89
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:52,380
so here we ask the question what is it

90
00:04:58,430 --> 00:04:56,160
and today we have an answer so it is

91
00:05:01,370 --> 00:04:58,440
definitely not a merman or a sea

92
00:05:03,290 --> 00:05:01,380
creature from some underwater world it

93
00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:03,300
is definitely not an alien from the

94
00:05:07,129 --> 00:05:04,320
Stars

95
00:05:10,189 --> 00:05:07,139
we now know definitively that this

96
00:05:13,129 --> 00:05:10,199
creature in the mystery video it is a

97
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:13,139
latex creature prop created and used in

98
00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:16,320
the television series Raised by Wolves
