Spirit of Steve Irwin saves woman from crocodile

Friday, April 4th, 2008

When Wendy Petherick was attacked by a crocodile in Litchfield National Park, something extraordinary… something supernatural happened. Her husband, Norm, felt himself filled with the bemulletted spirit of Steve Irwin.

“I don’t know what came over me,” says Norm. “I just yelled, ‘Crikey! I’ll save you!’ and then I jumped on the croc and wrestled him to the ground as if I’d been doing it for years. It was fun. Maybe I’ll start doing it for a living.”

An eyewitness added, “I knew he would be back someday. May the spirit of Steve Irwin watch over us all.”
