In 2012, discovery channel re-aired animal planet's original 2011 docufiction Mermaids: the body found. It shows real encounters with what looks to be mermaids and provides the controversial aquatic ape theory to explain their possible existence.
Why do humans have webbed hands? Why can we voluntarily hold our respiration? Why did we lose most of our body hair during evolution? On top of that, 90% of the oceans are unexplored. However, its been revealed that the docufiction is fake. I'm dissapointed but animal planet still managed to create a sequel, mermaids: the new evidence. I don't know what to believe... Part of me wants them to exist so badly and of course If they do, they would look nothing like the little mermaid lol. They would be more scaly.
What do you think?

I saw a show about how mermaids would not look anything that we think they would if they were real. They would be very bloated.

Agreed about the scales if they existed.

Of course, they exist beyond doubt.
Read the book- The Witch Doctor and The Man
City Under the Sea Pat Holliday, Ph.D.

Some excerpts.

INTRODUCTION TO SEA SPIRITS
I know that many will not believe this testimony concerning the ‘City Under the Sea’. They, in fact, will want to believe that it is just a fairy tale. They will try comparing it to something like the stories of “The Little Mermaid” or “The Wizard of Oz.” Believe me, the ‘City Under the Sea’ does exist, spiritually. I know, because I personally spent twelve years under the sea and know that it’s a real place. This is my testimony of residing with the demon gods under the sea.

CASTLES UNDER THE SEA As my father and I walked on dry ground on the floor of the sea, a brilliant light radiated in a distance. “Look father,” I exclaimed! “It shines and glitters like a fantastic jewel.” Soon we arrived at the brilliant city of infinite dimensions that seem to come together as if it was made by magic. All at once, I found myself walking through the gates of the most mystifying and beautiful city on earth. It was beyond dreams and visions. My father said, “this is where your training will begin, my son,” he put his arm around my shoulder. “You will be strong and powerful because you were born for this position.” It is impossible for me to describe to you the wonder of this awesome place. Physically you won’t see it, but spiritually you can see it. However, I have never seen a city on this earth more beautiful than this mysterious underwater metropolis. There were giant, futuristic crystal skyscrapers and brilliant lazar lights bedazzling the currents of the sea. It was a spellbinding place, beyond words, it reminds you of a spiritual Disney World. The streets were made of gold — not real gold but something that appeared like gold. There is nothing in the world that could compare to this enchanting place, such a stunning, majestic and ravishing habitation. It was an apocalyptical, fairyland.

THE HIDDEN CITY UNDER THE SEA The ‘city under the sea’ is not a hidden place from the people of Africa. Since my salvation, the Lord Jesus has saved and delivered many African wizards and witches who have also given testimonies concerning the city under the sea. Africans from all over the continent have given testimony about this city. This mysterious city is a supernatural place that is located under the sea off the coast of Ghana; and it extends to the Bermuda Triangle off the coast of Bermuda. This is the area where hurricanes are developed. The city is made of the substance where imaginations fail, beyond human belief and is the most spectacular habitation in the world. Many Africans have testified about its existence. Notice, that I quoted Revelation 12:12 for you at the heading of this chapter. Observe that the Bible says, “woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!” The Bible clearly says that there are inhabitants (spiritual beings) living in the lands and the sea. Yes, It is true. I know because I’ve lived and worked there for Satan’s kingdom.

I bet because their lungs would have to be bigger or else they would explode in deep water due to the pressure.

Mermaids do not die.
If anybody sights a washed up body of a mermaid, it must be a hoax.They are water nymphs.
In india they are known as 'Apsaras'
They are spirit beings and can easily shape shift to lure unsuspecting people.You are right , they actually look grotesque. From what I've read they are vicious creatures.

Very Interesting Topic!

More info:
One of the earliest scientific accounts of the mermaid was documented by the great historian Pliny The Elder in586 A.D. Pliny the Elder was convinced of the existence of Mermaids and described them as “rough and scaled all over.” Since that time, and well before, thousands of sailors across the globe have reported seeing the Mermaid swimming off the bows of their ships. Even the famous Christopher Columbus reported an encounter with a Mermaid; in January of 1493 Columbus reported that he saw three Mermaids frolicking in the ocean just off Haiti.

In Columbus’s account he stated that the creatures “came quite high out of the water” but were “not as pretty as they are depicted, for somehow the face looked more like a mans.” In the antiquated historical text known as the “Speculum Regale” also known as the King’s Mirror, which was written in Norway around 1250, the Mermaid is described not as a beautiful women, but more as a semi aquatic Neanderthal like creature.

This Neanderthal like version of the Mermaid is said to have large hands and fingers which are bound together by aweb like membrane. The creatures face is described as having alarge and terrifying face, asloping forehead, wide brows, a large mouth and wrinkled cheeks. Below the creatures waist line is the body of a fish complete with scales, fins and atail. Reports of this creature suggest that it is rarely spotted except before the coming of a violent storm.

Reminded me of this, immediately.

I watched those documentaries and thought they were interesting. The fact that they filmed these as if they were real and came out and said they were fake can't help but make you wonder.... Personally I believe that there is truth to all the old myths and legends. Just a 100 or so years ago gorillas were in the same category as sea monsters,mermaids, and bigfoot and we eventually discovered them and documented their existence. We are constantly discovering new previously undiscovered species. So I think its important to stay open-minded about such things.

I think there is a lot of truth to the old myths

and legends, as well.

How else to explain so many similarities around

the world, when there was no way to communicate

across such distances?

I think it's fascinating, tbh.. not just the mermaids.

And yeah, what better way to squelch curiosity than to

present evidence that they already knew was fake?

There was one like that dealing with ufos, iirc.

The people who made the documentary (so-called)

covered one instance that had been disproved, and one

other that they had set up themselves.

Pffft. :|

*not convinced*
