Watch a Shark Circle a Swimmer in Panama City Beach [Video]

I'll admit it.  When I first saw this video today, I wasn't sure it was real.  But, it apparently is.  According to confirmation by the Panama City News Herald, a man named Stan Battles was vacationing at the Tidewater Beach Resort in Panama City Beach, Florida.  From the 28th floor of his resort, he captured some amazing footage of a shark circling a swimmer in the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday morning.  This is incredible!

As you can see and hear, folks on the beach eventually realized what they were seeing.  Around the 1:34 mark in the video, fellow vacationers started screaming, "Shark!"  The swimmer then, as quickly as she could, made her way to shore and avoided what was shaping up to be a face to face encounter.
