She finds Real Life Mermaid... Then This Happens...

people have wondered for centuries if mermaids really exist here is proof that mermaids might exist all over the world make sure you give us a thumbs up and subscribe to this channel let's get it going 1010 shook you shrine for hundreds of years people have wondered if mermaids are real sailors have told stories about seeing mermaids and mermen for centuries the problem is nobody has really been able to prove they exist sure people have taken pictures of what they swear are mermaids but we don't really have anything specific to compare it to there's really no scientific reason to think they exist in Japan they have built a shrine to what they believe is the oldest mermaid ever at the tenchu Kyoshi shrine in fujinomiya Japan there is a mummified fossil of what appears to be a mermaid this mermaid is believed to be about 1,400 years old ancient stories claimed that a prince who fancied himself a regular fisherman went fishing in protective waters this is where he encountered the mermaid who put a curse on him so that he was never able to catch a fish again it is said that the mermaid told the Prince that if he would build a shrine to him he would lift the curse and now 1,400 years later we still have a shrine intact in Japan it kind of looks like a weird creature with the tail but we're not sure if this is a mermaid you be the judge this next clip is nice and warm 9 Big Bend power-plant manatee viewing area it makes sense that a mermaid would live amongst the adorable manatees right in Apollo Beach Florida there is a manatee viewing area right near the Big Bend power plant in a picture taken at the viewing area you can see what appears to be a mermaid off to the side you can see the shape of a mermaid amongst the floating manatees a lot of people have claimed to see mermaids swimming around in what is essentially a cesspool of water in South Florida the manatees like it there because when the waste is dumped it makes the water nice and warm manatees love warm water and apparently so do mermaids we can't imagine why mermaids would want to spend their time swimming amongst waste like this but hey you never know they may just like hanging out with the manatees the mermaid in this next clip is just creepy 8 Fiji mermaid at nature museum in Vermont you've ever wanted to see a creepy little fossil you should check out the Fiji mermaid display at the National Museum in Grafton Vermont this classic Fiji mermaid was found in a fraternal Lodge in Vermont and was moved to the museum this ugly creature has all the characteristics of a typical Barnum s hybrid with all kinds of animal parts combined to make one ugly creature it has the tail that we'd expect to see with the classic mermaid one weird thing about this mermaid is that it has a mustache we have no actual research to let us know if a mermaid can have a mustache but it could always be a merman right a lot of experts say that this is probably a monkey and not a real mermaid but if that's the case what kind of monkey has a tail like that the museum doesn't keep the mermaid out all the time they keep it in their basements and only bring it out for special occasions and we can see why it would scare small children and make a lot of people lose their lunch this next video made the list even though they may not be real mermaids 7 JooJoo mermaids okay so maybe they aren't technically mermaids but these women have become a staple in Jeju sea island in South Korea they're called Han Yeo and they are women who are responsible for the communities fishing duties these women are such skilled fisherman or Fisher women that they can actually dive down into the water and catch the fish with their hands most of the woman who do this are older the younger women in South Korea don't really have an interest in carrying out the tradition of Huynh yo we can't really blame them who would want to spend their days swimming in the waters of South Korea and catching fish for everyone young women in South Korea have much higher hopes for themselves the reason these women are called mermaids is because they're diving motion and their ability to catch fish with their hands they also resemble mermaids as they glide across the water with their fishing gear finally this next video shows us that men can be mermaids too 6 Banff mermen this mermaid located in Banff Canada may be natural or it could be man-made we just don't know for sure it has the classic Fiji mermaid tail and human body it's also one of the ugliest creatures we've ever seen the lower half of his body actually looks like a silver fish with a scaly texture that appears to be peeling he is kept in a glass aquarium in a and shop this Merman is definitely what we're used to seeing from mermaids there's nothing beautiful about it though there is speculation that the owner of this Canadian shop where the Merman is kept created this Merman but he claims it's real and even puts up a little history about the Merman on its display case you tell us you think the Merman is real or fake this next video shows more of what you are hoping for this list five Weeki Wachee Florida seems to be a home for a lot of mermaids if you're in the Weeki Wachee area Florida you've got to check out the mermaids there it's referred to as the city of mermaids because of its live mermaid performances so yeah these mermaids may not be actual mermaids but they have been performing there since 1947 the mermaids in Weeki Wachee resemble what us Westerners think real mermaids look like they have flowing hair beautiful faces and bright colored bodies they perform underwater for their audience moving and gliding through the water they're in underwater tanks where there are scuba divers nearby in case of an emergency and boy can these women hold their breath they stay underwater for several minutes at a time for each performance the cool thing is that the mayor of Weeki Wachee used to be a mermaid performer herself so we have a mermaid as mayor of a city named for mermaids this is the only city in the world that can say that check out this next segment to see the other little mermaid for little mermaid we've all seen the movie The Little Mermaid whether our kids made us watch it on repeat when they were younger or we loved it ourselves everybody knows who Ariel is the strange thing is long before there was the movie there was a statue if you visit Copenhagen Denmark you'll get to see the stone statue by the water entitled The Little Mermaid the piece was inspired by a story written by storyteller Hans Christian Andersen we all know Andersen was the country's biggest claim to fame Anderson's story was about a mermaid who fell in love with the natural world and had to decide to stay a mermaid or to follow her dreams of living in the real world the statue embodies all that we think about a mermaid the beautiful girl on top is a woman with flowing hair and people features on the bottom is a fish-like body with their traditional mermaid tail it may not be alive but it definitely deserves a place on our list this place is worth revisiting check out this next clip three Vicky Smith we go back to Weeki Wachee to visit the oldest living mermaid in the world Vicky Smith was one of the first performing mermaids in Weeki Wachee Florida she started working as a performer two days after she graduated high school back in 1957 she was only 17 years old at the time she serves as the matriarch of the legendary sirens of Weeki Wachee Springs this group of women are mostly in their 60s and 70s and get together to perform for the town Smith says that unlike what we think of when we imagine mermaids she doesn't wear all the fancy makeup she said all she's ever done is put on her suit and get in the water at 78 years old Smith is able to call her own shots she does what she wants and still enjoys performing as one of the oldest local mermaids in Florida Smith said that when she was a performer she was given a four hour training program then she was told to get in the water and join other performers back in the 50s Smith made $3 per show today the mermaids make up about $10 an hour while performing not bad to dress up like a mermaid and swim the last thing you'd expect in Camden is a mermaid check out this next clip to Camden Aquarium Camden New Jersey is known
