The Mermaids Existence.

Do you believe in mermaids? 

A very interesting question.What do you think? Do you believe? Some people say they don't believe in mermaids and some people say that they do. Many people say it's only a legend, fantasy, fiction and a myth. What do you think? I do believe in them, there are many evidences and some of the evidences came from marine biologists. I asked some people over the internet if they believe in mermaids, they say they don't and some say they believe in them. What if the time comes and you're going to spot one and you're not a believer, will it change your mind or will you just ignore it? Come to think of it. 


What is a mermaid? 

Hmm. what is a mermaid? How will you define a mermaid? Any ideas? I have one, A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the upper body of a female human and a tail of a fish. 


Do mermaids exist? 

This is the real question. What do you think? Do they exist? Some people say they don't exist and if they do it's a very long time and some people say they really do exist until now. So, what do you think? I can say that they exist until now. I've seen many videos about mermaids that they still exist until now, the year of 2000's there are too many proof that they do exist until in the present. Maybe it can be a camera trick, maybe it can be an illusion and etc. but many scientist and marine biologist claims that they really exist and there are many evidences about those creatures. They found the remains of those creatures. 


Mermaid Sightings. 

There are many mermaid sightings and some are caught in tape. Here's one. I did some research about this kind of sightings. 

-In 1493, sailing off the coast of Hispaniola, Columbus reported seeing three "female forms" which "rose high out of the sea, but were not as beautiful as they are represented"  The logbook of Blackbeard, an English pirate, records that he instructed his crew on several voyages to steer away from charted waters which he called "enchanted" for fear of merfolk or mermaids, which Blackbeard himself and members of his crew reported seeing. These sighting were often recounted and shared by sailors and pirates who believed that mermaids brought bad luck and would bewitch them into giving up their gold and dragging them to the bottom of the sea. Two sightings were reported in Canada near Vancouver and Victoria, one from sometime between 1870 and 1890, the other from 1967.

-During World War II in 1943, Japanese soldiers saw several mermaids on the shores of the Kei Islands. They reported seeing creatures swimming in the water — and one on a beach — with pink skin and spikes along their heads, estimated to be about 150 centimeters tall, with limbs and faces similar to that of a human but a mouth like a carp. The locals called them Orang Ikan, or "fish man" in Malay. Several of these sightings occurred and were reported to Sgt.Taro Horiba, who asked the locals about it and learned that they sometimes got caught in their fishing nets. The locals promised to send word to the sergeant the next time one was caught. One was eventually found dead on the shore, and he was allowed to examine it. This convinced him; he returned to Japan and tried to convince scientists to go and study them, but was never believed.


-In August 2009, after dozens of people reported seeing a mermaid leaping out of the water and doing aerial tricks, the Israeli coastal town of Kiryat Yamoffered a $1 million award for proof of its existence. In February 2012, work on two reservoirs near Gokwe and Mutare in Zimbabwe stopped when workers refused to continue, stating that mermaids had hounded them away from the sites. It was reported by Samuel Sipepa Nkomo, the water resources minister.


-On January 9, 2013, during an episode of Mistero broadcast by Italia 1, images were shown of a purported mermaid's corpse on a Sri Lankan beach.


and here is a video.

This video caught my best friend's attention and I. After we watched the video, we became interested and did some research about these creatures. Divine (my best friend) told me, that it would be more interesting if she would see one in real life but actually in the back of my head it is not a good idea. Why? People states that if you hear a mermaid singing it will bring bad luck in your life. It's like a curse. 

Here's another video that I found while doing my research, this video is from animal planet:

Well, I'll leave this to you. Do you believe in mermaids? Do they exist? Think about it.
