Mermaids are lovely girls with long fish tails. The first descriptions of mermaids are found in the annals of the ancient world, for example, in the writings of the ancient Romans, who were reputed to be noble sailors.
Many peoples honored Neptune, Poseidon - the God of the sea. It was believed that mermaids were his daughters who possessed indescribable beauty and one nuance - a fish tail. The ancient Phoenicians, launching a new ship, sacrificed an innocent girl to the God of the sea. They put her across the ship, and he tore her body in half with his nose when moving. The ship, sprinkled with innocent blood, had to surf the sea for a long time and without hindrance. The Phoenicians believed that the souls of these dead girls are mermaids who yearn for revenge for their death.
In the Middle Ages, references to mermaids are found everywhere in historical chronicles. At this time, they are found not only in the depths of the sea, but also in lakes and reservoirs. So, even in a well-known American newspaper, an article was published, which indicated that the facts of people meeting with mermaids were repeatedly recorded. These strange creatures have a long scaly tail, long brown hair, as the mermaids were described in the newspaper. According to eyewitness accounts, there are no membranes on their fingers. They comb their hair as if their fingers had a different shape, not human. Mermaids often frighten eyewitnesses with their unusualness. People are afraid of them, as they have heard many legends in which it is described how mermaids were snatched from boats and ships, from the shores of their victims and dragged them into the depths of the sea.
After that, no one saw the stolen people again. Many skeptics tend to believe that such statements are absurd and that there are no mermaids in nature. That they were invented by those for whom it is very beneficial, since in this way it is very easy to justify the disappearance of people. They were carried away by the mermaids and that's it. And no one else saw them. Thus, the hypothesis that the malefactors hide their crimes behind the appearance of mermaids is very plausible. Including murders.
The most interesting thing is that during the development of progress, there is practically no information about mermaids. Where could they go? Scientists are divided on this issue into two camps. Some argue that mermaids are mythical creatures, which are actually an invention, possibly feral, fought off the general mass of women. But this hypothesis does not explain the reason why the mermaids seen by eyewitnesses had a fishtail.
Is this fiction? Hardly. Then how to explain the fact that an accurate description of women with a fish tail is found in the classics of the Middle Ages, and in manuscripts that date back to many centuries BC. It is no coincidence that those who like to relax on the seashore meet mermaids in their dreams, and maybe in reality.
It should be noted that mermaids, like witches, have at all times been treated with caution and bias. They did not trust either one or the other, and only looked for an excuse to destroy them. Both those and others carried a bad name behind them. Oddly enough, but mermaids were often met by men. Perhaps because it was men who were engaged in navigation and fishing in ancient times. Or because they paid more attention to women who sit on stones near the shores of lakes and bodies of water.
It should be noted that some sources (records, epics) claim that mermaids still had legs. So, rising to the shore, their tail turned into legs like those of ordinary women. This fact is even stranger than their resemblance to sirens and harpies.

For many centuries, sirens were also ranked among mermaids. But as the ancient Roman mythology says, sirens are a completely different kind of sea inhabitants. They have a specific voice that lures victims into the depths of the sea. They also have wings. Mermaids were often compared to them, which may be why the sirens' ill fame passed on to them.
Fortunately, in our time, no one came across sirens, they have remained the characters of mythology.
Today there are facts of the alleged presence of individuals of mermaids in the closed laboratories of America. Perhaps they are the product of genetic engineering, aliens from outer space, the result of a gene mutation, or some kind of disease.
At the same time, the American military and the authorities do not comment on the fact of information leakage regarding experiments on mermaids. Or perhaps over their subspecies at one of the secret bases of the Pentagon. According to operational data, the Americans are studying the adaptation functions of these sea divas and are trying to determine which class of living on the Earth's surface they belong to.
America has always sought to invent a special type of weapon, including biological, that would help in the fight against terrorism. Also, Americans are looking for opportunities to grow artificial organs. Therefore, the prospect of studying mermaids does not seem so transcendental.
If today there are living specimens of mermaids at America's disposal, then it may well make a breakthrough in the treatment of lung diseases. For example, create a subspecies of a person who can live underwater. But for now, this is all guesswork. And the ill fame of mermaids is spreading throughout the world.
There are cases when innocent girls, mistaken for mermaids, were killed unreasonably and cruelly. The strangest thing is that mermaids were seen only in the guise of young girls, but not children or old individuals. This means that either they are already born, become like that, or that it is in such a guise that they can appear to people.
Some scientists are inclined to argue that what is happening in connection with a temporary rift and the inhabitants of planet Earth in another dimension, and these are mermaids, become visible to people in our reality.
Unfortunately, there is no data on the possible communication of a person and a mermaid. There is a desire of scientists to find out more about them, but today the fact of a meeting of a man and these sea divas is a rarity. Perhaps the fashion for them has passed, or the stories about their existence were only myths. However, one should be wary of contact with them. Since there is not a single case when these meetings were positive and friendly.
Another mystery of nature is mermaids. Or maybe a profitable invention that allows you to hide hundreds of crimes committed at sea at different times in the history of a person's life.
