Locals on Sydney's Northern Beaches have spotted what they believe to be a monster great white shark in a lagoon that broke its banks during the city's heaviest downpour in 22 years.
Frightening footage was uploaded on Sunday showing what appeared to be a dorsal fin breaching the waters of Narrabeen Lagoon just metres from homes and businesses.
'Great white spotted in Narrabeen Lagoon,' the video was posted.
Most viewers were convinced it was indeed a shark, but others were sceptical.
While the footage has not been verified, it wouldn't be the first time a shark was spotted in the lagoon.

In 2007, fisherman Stephen Burleigh said he spotted a shark dragging a duck under the water.
'There were half a dozen ducks in the water. I saw four of them moving very quickly to the side but the shark got one and dragged it under the water, five metres under,' he told The Sydney Morning Herald at the time.
'I was worried if there were any children in the water. I stepped back and said ''I'm not fishing here any more''.'
Lifeguards for Warringah Council warned people to stay out of the water at the popular lagoon following the incident.
A spokeswoman for Warringah Council said at the time swimmers would be risking their safety.
The lagoon, which is usually a picturesque crystal blue has burst its banks due to the downpour on Sunday
