There is a section with links to "Scary Best of The Forum Stories & Articles"

Specifically mentions Bull sharks:
"Some experts believe the Bull shark, with no easily recognizable features and the fact that it is the only shark present in fresh waters, to be the most dangerous in the world as it may often go unidentified as the attacker. Bulls can spend a great deal of time in fresh water estuaries, lagoons, harbors, river mouths & bays. They prefer coastal waters less than 100 feet deep and their young are well acclimated to estuary environments."
