If in ancient times mermaids were often seen in the seas and oceans, they say they were even caught, today Internet users can only contemplate troupes thrown onto the seashore, somewhat reminiscent of humanoids with tails instead of legs.
But no, there are also videos in which strange people in overalls pull mermaids out of the ponds, obviously already dead, but again, without fail, with tails, probably so that netizens do not confuse a mermaid with an ordinary drowned man. At the moment, another such viral video in the "mermaid story" is being distributed on the Web (watch the video).
It was filmed allegedly in the state of Minnesota (the specific location is not indicated), the video itself is accompanied by approximately the following comment (on different sites of the English-language Internet it is slightly different):
One man in protective clothing drags a strange creature with a silvery tail from the pond (for some reason, for some reason, he recalls Disney fairy-tale films), while another is clearly preparing a net. When men in overalls put a mysterious creature on the shore, even the scales of this humanoid are clearly visible …
True, this video ends. The authors complain that people in yellow protective clothing noticed the cameraman, which is why he has to hide behind stones, stopping filming. What's next is unknown.
An ordinary joke, skeptics immediately exclaim, but many see this video in a completely different light: everything is too believable, even too …
Recall that something similar was filmed two years ago in Warsaw, where the same strange people in protective overalls (only in white and there were more of them) allegedly pull a mermaid out of the Vistula. The mayor of Warsaw, Jaroslav Yuzwiak, even gave an interview to reporters, explaining how they caught these fabulous creatures, but in reality it turned out that the capital of Poland was simply preparing for a culture festival, in which such an amusing costume video was shot.
Maybe something similar is happening in Minnesota, because pranking Internet users like that is too expensive and only professionals can do it? Hence, the relatively high quality of the shooting, and a certain plausibility, and even a perfectly invented intrigue with the detection of the operator …
