Zombie shark's eerie mummified remains discovered in creepy abandoned aquarium

An urban explorer was chilled to the bone to find the rotting remains of a zombie shark in a tank and a dead squid on the floor after she crept into an abandoned aquarium

The creepy encounter was filmed by 24-year-old Frenchwoman Juliette on a visit to Spain.

She posted the clip on her TikTok page, where it has since gone viral, with almost five million people viewing her eerie exploits.

In the footage, Juliette is seen climbing through a window into the abandoned aquarium before coming across the shark and the squid.

She accompanied the video with the message: "The horror. See my exploration and you will be shocked!"

Juliette from Lyon, France, joked that she is "full time on YouTube," and said: "The aquarium is in Spain. The dead animals we came across included fish, squid and a shark."

When asked if she was surprised that her video went viral, she said "yes", adding: "But the shark is very impressive, so it definitely appeals to many."

Juliette said that "urbex has been my passion for four years".

'Urbex' is an abbreviation of 'urban exploration', a hobby that involves going off the beaten track to explore abandoned buildings or other facilities that are unseen by the general public.

She claims to have 725,000 followers on her TikTok page 'Jurjurbex', where she posts images of her urban adventures and the abandoned sites she has visited.

Urban exploring has become massive with more and more bloggers posting on YouTube and social media.

But the pastime has prompted debates on the legalities of accessing private property and appeals from emergency services over safety issues.

In August last year the Mirror told how an urban explorer digging through a creepy abandoned house in the Highlands uncovered a mummified cat in the kitchen.

The empty family home was described as being "frozen in time" by YouTuber Adam Mark Explores in a clip which took him and his 55k subscribers on a tour of the decaying building.

After entering the house, he described the “dark and eerie” atmosphere, as well as a silence which he said put him on edge as he made his way through.

Adam Mark's video, which attracted more than 21k views, showed the rotting house scattered with old books, magazines and newspapers, dated between the 1950s and 1970s.
