Hello, welcome to Shortcuts. I'm Jacey Long, and you're listening to a spooky episode recorded on location by the sea at Craig Tara's spooky caravan park.

I'm at a caravan park in Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland.

The wind around me is so strong it goes as if a person's calling out to us. We're right by the sea and I'm going to walk down to the beach. Yesterday when me and my daughters went there, we saw washed up the biggest

jellyfish I've ever seen. Bigger than...

This is shortcuts. Bigger than a football. Brief encounters. Bigger than a round coffee table.

True stories. As large as a small rug.

Radio adventures. It was massive. And found sound. Frightful. Today. I'm sad. Creature feature.

I want to see if I can see any other creatures.

Her skin sort of grows over his face and what sort of eyes and the sense that he had will just get obscured. And then he just really just becomes like a part of her after that.

If Satan were an insect, he'd be a cave cricket.

Let us begin with a story that emerges from the deep, thousands of meters below the surface.

You're entering a dark room lined with hundreds of jars chains hang from the ceiling there are rows of ten-foot-long metal tanks dividing the room sealed cardboard boxes everywhere and the faint smell of spirit

peer into the gloom

to come face to face with a creature

that is rarely seen.

I'm going was still be around hundreds of years after I'm dead.

And that every time I write a note or make a comment about something,

I have to think about the people in the future who will be reading that note

and will they understand what I'm talking about?

Because I occasionally find things that Victorians have written

and I haven't got a clue what they're talking about and I kind of hate them.
