In this urban legend, a girl swallows frog spawn. An octopus grows inside her with tentacles that reaches to every part of her body. Here is a brief summary, as published in a New Zealand newspaper in 1990: “Years ago a young woman complained about gripping pains in her stomach. When operated upon, a young octopus was discovered. The explanation? She swallowed an octopus egg while swimming.” Some believe that this urban legend resonates with fears of unwanted pregnancy.
