    i have answerd this question at least four times so i will answer it again.

    the myth of the mermaid started out with sailors seeing a beautiful woman with a fish tail off their ship. this usually turned out to be a manitee or a dolphin however but still reports and sightings are coming in even today.i live in ireland (where the myth reportedly originated) and there is a story on my grandfathers side that his grandmother was a "maighden mara" (gaelic for sea maiden) and that his father only got her by stealing her tail. the roumer goes that she disapeared when she eventually found it. As its just a myth however no one believes it but my great grandmother did disapear in doubtfull circumstances and all the girls in my family (including me!) are amazing singers so whatever you believe!

    hope this helps!

    Well there is no reason why they can't be real. Think About God can do sooooo many things, some we find out about, some we dont. Who knows maybe in a few years we will discover more about mermaids. I believe.Ghost are real, I kno for a fact because i have encountered many (scary but cool) so why can't mermaids be real. ACtually many people have seen mermaids in the dominican republic and haiti. Some people eat them but they don't know it because they sell it as a type of fish and cut off the heads soo few to nobody knows what it truly is. so that is why I think mermaids exist.

    I think mermaids exist in stories, but not in real life.

    It would be something to see and hear, but mermaids are mythical characters, not part of reality.
