Many peoples of the world have beliefs about mermaids. In some myths, these mysterious creatures are described as beautiful and mentally pure maidens with fish tails, avoiding humans, in other legends it is said that the attractive appearance of mermaids is deceiving, and in fact they are terrible bloodthirsty monsters that lure men into the water and devour them there.
A resident of the coastal American city of Crescent City, located in the northwestern state of California, claims that she managed to accidentally photograph a mermaid several days ago. Bonnie Forsyth, a thirty-eight-year-old housewife, walked her dog on Saturday, May 7th while taking pictures of nature. Having gone to the beach, the woman took several pictures there, then returned home.

An amateur photographer might not have done anything further with the photos taken that day, but her husband, Jeffrey, who loves fishing, asked his wife to show him the pictures taken by Bonnie on the beach to see how many anglers come there. on the weekend. The Californian handed her husband a camera, and the man transferred all the images to his laptop. After a while, Geoffrey asked Bonnie who was then on the rock peeping out from under the water, which the woman captured in one of her photographs. The American replied that she had no idea, and then the chosen one showed her this curious picture.

Bonnie was surprised to see a human figure on the stone, with a long tail crowned with a large fin. "Is it really a mermaid ?!" Bonnie exclaimed. “You should ask that,” Geoffrey told her. According to the woman, she did not notice anything unusual in the water then, because she took pictures without much interest and did not really look closely at the landscape. Ultimately, the Forsytes concluded that the housewife most likely actually managed to photograph a real mermaid.
The couple posted the mysterious image on the popular social news portal "Reddit" and asked its users what they thought about the photo. Many regulars of the site carefully examined the picture and said that they had no other hypotheses, and that this is indeed a mermaid - either real or drawn in a photo editor. Skeptics thought that we could talk about a vacationer who climbed onto a stone with a towel or bedding - supposedly the fabric turned out to be like a fish tail.
There were also commentators on Reddit who said it was a manatee. However, it is worth noting that the range of American, Amazonian and African manatees does not extend to the California coast.
