Crazy story, caught this the other night on tv, Dude got lucky

Animal Planet's River Monsters captures suspenseful encounters with dangerous sea creatures, but during a recent shoot, the crew came face-to-face with something they never expected to see.

An episode took a dramatic turn when the show's host, Jeremy Wade, and the film crew spotted a castaway on a largely deserted island off the coast of Australia.

The man had said his final prayer and was "preparing to die," according to Stephen Shearman, the director of the episode "Death Down Under," and one of the five people who found the castaway.

"He had said his last prayer," Shearman told InsideEdition.com. "He was prepared to die and meet his maker."

Shearman explained that the team had originally been attempting to solve the mystery of six men who died in a plane crash near to the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Shearman said they had not originally planned on filming on that end of the island but the waters at their original shoot location were too choppy, so the team decided to move.

"Together, we spotted this blue Esky, or cooler box, that was just sat on the rock," Shearman said.

The team started joking that Tom Hanks might pop out of nowhere, making reference to the 2000 movie, Cast Away.

But suddenly, Shearman said, "this guy with no clothes was running out of the cave, waving his arms out."

I haven't seen it, but virtually any reality TV has to be viewed with a little (ok, a helluva lot) of skepticism.  You think it was legit??
