A strange creature was branded "the stuff of nightmares" after washing up on a North Wales beach.
The unusual sea creature was found in Gwynedd by regular beachgoer Shell Longmore. She was so stunned by the creature she took to social media for confirmation.
After being described as a "starfish playing the maracas", Stranger Things fans were quick to zone in on its resemblance. Shell wrote on Facebook that it was a "massive shock" to find the "strange-looking creature" but it was also "very beautiful", North Wales Live reports.
