Mother films terrifying moment shark swims close to daughter on bodyboard

A mother has accidentally filmed the moment a shark came into close contact with her daughter Sara, who ran away immediately after seeing the fin coming towards her while at the beach in South Carolina.

Nicole Oister and her 11-year-old daughter were spending the day in Myrtle Beach when they had the close encounter with the unidentified species of shark.

Mother Nicole told ABC 11: “I was taking video of her, and all of a sudden, she starts running out of the water. She said she saw a fin coming up out of the water towards her.”
