    A 6-year-old girl from Kailua, Hawaii, had a frightening encounter with a shark over the weekend, according to a report. 

    Dramatic video shows Anela Rezentes playing in the waves at Hawaii’s Kalama Beach on Sunday when she turns and sees the shark moving in the shallow waters just inches behind her. In a panic, the young girl turns around and runs toward the beach.

    “My soul left my body,” Anela said, according to Honolulu’s KHON-TV. “I saw a shark. I didn’t notice he was behind my back. So I really wanted to run out. I was really scared.”
