Mermaids: Fact or Fiction? I was watching this documentary from Animal Planet about some evidences of aquatic humanoids like mermaids. It was quite interesting because lately I’ve been watching this TV show in a local TV network about mermaids and I was wondering if mermaids are really predominant in some specific location.
In the documentary, there is one town in Israel called Kiryat Yam where localities often find sightings of mermaid, actually there is one video shown way back 2010, though it was not really clear because it was taken from a distance, but it really resembles of a mermaid diving out to the waters from a rock near a cliff. The town mayor even offered $1M for any proof of mermaids taken from that town, some authorities thought that the reward was only a tourist ploy. Another documentary, Paul Robertson, a marine biologist from the U.S. made a confirmation statement that the disclosed UK coastguard video taken last 2003 revealed that it was not a seal as other marine biologist claimed, but a mermaid.
That night way back 2003, UK coastguard conducted a simulation test for their trainees in the sea while riding on their rubber boat, when suddenly they thought that they saw a man in the water. Suddenly the man moved to face them (the camera caught this movement) and went deep into the waters. Experts from UK believed that it has been just a seal because its eyes can be luminous during the night, but according to Paul Robertson, the ridge present at the top of the head of the creature shows that it was not a seal, but something else, like a mermaid, and in my opinion, the head itself resembles of a human head and not a seal! Although, it’s not the typical beautiful mermaid we see in some TV/ movie shows because that one on the camera, the mermaid looks really scary. Do you think they can be real? If yes, would you want to go visit Kiryat Yam in Israel and venture into mermaid sighting who knows you might win $1M, well this was way back 2010 though. P.S. Looks like baby-sitting on weekend isn’t that bad at all, I learned a lot about mermaids! :D _____________________ Are you having Monday blues now?

I don't even know if they're real or not. But they're so many books as well as movies that makes mention of mermaids. I'm curious as well.
I agree. Those fantasy movies about mermaids are really fascinating that can really hit your curiosity.
A wonderful myth, fairy tale, or fishing story. They were caused by sailors having hallucinations from illnesses caused by poor nutrition while they were on the high seas for a long time.
Really? Oh that's sad. But, it can be a cause though. Thanks!
I think that if they are real, they aren't the peaceful beautiful creatures mainstream protray them to be. They must live in the deepest depths of the ocean I don't see skin as we know it surviving at those pressures. Plus gills for breathing, because lungs would mean they woud have to surface often. Plus no eyes because there is no light reaching the ocean floor. Yes I have really thought about this.
The video from the UK coastguard looks like they have eyes but luminous, they might have though but very different than that of humans. I do think they are real like some other cursed creatures from folklore and mythology stories. Thanks for your thoughts about this topic.
I also watched a documentary regards this mermaid and upon watching it, it really makes me think and believe they exist. In that documentary two boys saw it and accidentally appeared in their video. One of the boys was traumatized. I recommend it for you to watch.
looks like it's just a bedtime fairy tale, but who knows.
