Can somebody screen shot it for me?

That would be most appreciated. I love a good hoax.

Funny how the body seem to be decomposing but the hair is so live and vibrant as if she just came for a salon.

give me an H
give me an O
give me an A
give me an X

what's that spell?

About 95% over videos being churned out these days, that's what!

Looks like a dressed up wood carving to me in all honesty.

I'm calling fake.

theync is not for the faint hearted so dont go visiting it even if you feel slightly intrigued by what it is because you may never be the same again.

back on topic
Looks to plastic to me, to casual aswell on the cameramans side.

but the fins are a perfect idea for my mermaid costume! thanks, i'm so glad i saw this video!

i really do with this were real though, i want mermaids to exist so i can become one. hahahaha
srsly, tho.

Yes. I was just trying to figure out the source of the video and was expecting to find a shady source but didn't expect to find that big a cesspool.

Completely off topic side note - awesome banner. Nightbreed is a cult movie.

Thanks, I've always loved creature/monster/alien girls and Shunna Sassi is a personal favorite, I'd love to see a Nightbreed sequel but it'll probably never happen.

Back on topic I don't believe mermaids exist or ever did but I'm also aware that we've barely scratched the surface of ocean exploration so who's to say what we'll find out there given enough time.

They got lazy on doing the hair.

I give them a B+ for great work on the rest of the sculpture!

Yeah, I do not see this as even remotely real. As the OP pointed out the camera man is amazingly calm for someone who just stumbled upon the discovery of the millenium....

Try to imagine how you would be acting if you were just walking along the beach filming and stumbled upon a dead mermaid... You would probably be excited, maybe a bit scared or creeped out, and you would not be calm as if you had seen a million of them before.

I just don't buy it...

Forgot to say that I did once see a mermaid hoax in person once. It was at an alligator farm in Arkansas. They had this thing that the claimed to be a small mermaid and it was dead and enclosed in a glass case.

I got the owner to tell me what it really was though... It was something that he bought from a taxidermist years ago. The guy simply combined a fishes bottom half with a spider monkeys top half....

Anyway, yeah, this is not real. Kind of a cool fake, but still a fake

the upper body that resembles a human shape has no breathing organ visible to be an aquatic form of life, unless mermaids live near the surface to breath through lungs... in which case, we should have seen thousands of these guys on the water due to their need for oxygen.

next time you make another one of these, try it with a pair of gills. it will make more authentic feel to it

this has been posted on here at least 1 billion times, its a fake. It's actually a sculpture done by an artist, although I don't remember his name right now.
