mermaid washed ashore in Benin West Africa

[fergiebouette]

hey everyone I'm kinda new.. I'm from east Africa and I'm posting through my phone. I just found out this morning about the mermaid lol. kinda looks real but..I could be wrong. odd how it popped up right after the Ebola thing. anyways was wondering if you guys could check it out. our oceans are still unexplored and extremely mysterious. who knows the creatures that lurk deep within.. and why does 1 suddenly wash ashore now?(if its real that is). I ve researched about "mermaids" before and the stuff I found... well let me just say this ones different. if it doesn't turn out to be a hoax input from Laura and the C's would be greatly appreciated :)

Hello fergiebee,

Welcome to the forum !

As it is your first post, it would be great to make an introductory post in the newbies forum and let us know a bit about yourself and how you found out the forum.

As for the mermaid, it is most probably a hoax.

“Yet another viral video is making the rounds purporting to show the body of a ‘real mermaid’ washed up on a beach somewhere (some versions claim it was in India), but this latest of many attempts to convince the gullible that mermaids exist is no more credible than previous examples we’ve seen. In reality, the video consists of a montage of still photos of a prop mermaid created by makeup and special effects artist Joel Harlow for the 2011 film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. They don’t come any faker than that.”

One giveaway is that there are no external signs of sex organs AND the clear outline of "legs" inside the fish tail. Also, breasts with no nipples.
