Don't tell me.

Yes, I'm going to research it myself. But already I'm a little taken back. I looked up Matawan, which is where our new home is located and this is one little tidbit I discovered:

Despite being 11 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, Matawan was the site of three shark attacks in the summer of 1916. A shark, possibly a bull shark or Great White Shark entered Matawan Creek where it killed a boy, Lester Stillwell; a man, Stanley Fisher; and injured another boy, Joseph Dunn. Over a two week span in July, up to 100 sharks were killed during the hunt for this shark known as the "Matawan Man-Eater". A great white shark of 8 feet in length was captured and later dissected, confirming it as the killer. The attacks were the inspiration for the 1975 movie Jaws and is considered to be one of the first attacks known worldwide.
