What shar...

Kind of creepy -- from FOX News:
Great White Shark Reported at 'Jaws' Filming Site
EDGARTOWN, Mass. � The island where "Jaws" was filmed had a real-life shark scare Thursday, when an unconfirmed sighting of a great white forced the closure of two beaches.

South Beach on Martha's Vineyard was closed for a short time, and swimmers were kept out of the water at State Beach in Edgartown, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation said.

A plane was dispatched to try to confirm the sighting, but no shark was spotted, said Lisa Capone, a spokeswoman for the state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.

In 1974, Steven Spielberg chose Martha's Vineyard for filming the movie "Jaws," depicting a series of deadly great white attacks in the fictional community of Amity.
Very rare to have them that far north... Posted by DaveH at July 11, 2008 10:49 AM
