Reports of a massive, nearly 900-pound white shark known as Freya was spotted off the coast of the Jersey Shore and Long Island not quite long ago, according to the nonprofit OCEARCH.

OCEARCH is a non-profit organization that researches these ocean giants.

This is not the first time that a great white shark has been spotted off of our shores.

Mary Lee, the svelte 16-foot-long great white shark with more than 124,000 Twitter followers, was seen in the area in 2017.

Researchers have been monitoring the shark’s movements since tagging her off Cape Cod on Sept. 17, 2012. She’s made several trips to New Jersey over the years.
