    fact. kinda. i saw this documentary long ago. they showed this mummified ugly skeletony thing of what appeared to be a mermaid. it was maybe 10 inches long. could've been just that it was a fish morphed out of control that caused it's face to look somewhat like a human's, and growths out of the "torso" that could look like arms.. i dunno la.. but i'm sticking with "fact"!

    but if you're talking about ones that look like the little mermaid, who talk and have pretty hair, then MYTH!

    No, yet some and extremely few photos of ghost must be actual in a very slender possibility. I even had seen something as quickly as working previous due at artwork and as quickly as when I awoke interior the midst of the night. yet in spite of this, i will have been over worked and the different time, i will have nevertheless been a million/2 asleep. i visit confess I do discover the priority of ghost interesting, yet hey, while is there rather going to be some definitive evidence. believe me, i could like some. i assume I do purely not choose each and every little thing to blink out of life when I die.

    Fact, but not directly.

    It is posited that manatees were thought to be mermaids due to their shape when viewed from afar. And their unusually friendly nature for a sea creature.

    Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mermaid And a knowledge on myth origin
  • The number one reason for the Myth is this creature, the Manatee!
