  1. Cryptid Says:

    i would like to know where this ws filmed and by whom. who is the diver?

  2. Tony Says:

    That clip is actually taken from the movie “Splash” with Tom Hanks.

  3. Sarah Says:

    That is not from Splash. You can see the clip from Splash on YouTube and they are nothing alike..this water is even darker. Don’t know that I think it’s real, but it sure looks pretty cool.

  4. Toby Page Says:

    no it iosnt splash ive seen since a young boy lol

  5. Dollymay Says:

    I think it is vary vary intresting! It could be just some wierd animal they discover new species every day!

  6. kay Says:

    I dont know if it is real it sure looks real to me but it could be fake, Frankly i believe mermaids do exist and they are wild creatures almost implossible to capture on tape. there’s just not any concrete proof that they exist.

  7. briana Says:

    omgg well mabye idk i hope they r real!

  8. emmilee Says:

    i do believe that mermaids exist. that looks like real footage to me.

  9. takuyaki Says:

    i do believe in mermaids especially here in the Philippines, though no hard evidences are gathered by scientists. monster creatures here are real, my mom and dad and some other village people here did see them. if those creatures are real, what more are mermaids? yeah they are really impossinle to capture on tape but i believe they are real.

  10. Lilythorns Says:

    While I fully believe in the existence of mere-folk, I am skeptical about this footage. If you go on youtube, you can find dozens of people who sew their own mermaid tails and swim gracefully in the ocean, and even include tutorials on how to make them. (I previously made an Orca styled tail a few months ago) The person who was recording this footage seemed to already know the creature was there, and was simply “waiting” to shoot the clip.
    The ocean is a vast world, hence why I don’t doubt the existence of REAL mere-folk, great clip though.

  11. MonarKc Says:

    Totally fake, come on people next thing the tooth fairy will show up on youtube LOL

  12. daniel Says:

    i’ve seen splash and thats defintly not it the water is much much bluer but i dont think that was a mermaid it was probiley just a girl that does a good mermaid swimm but i beliven mermaids =)

  13. Imran Ahmad Says:

    Well for anyone who does believe in mermaids that video is pretty convincing however lots of people including scientist have denied the fact that there is such a thing as mermaids. 1 point i would like to raise. Previously I read an article about people who claimed to have seen mermaids and these are regular people. However if that is true which I won’t question if it was, because that was in the 1800’s, then why didn’t the mermaid react to them as she did in this footage. People who have written articles claim that when a mermaid senses that there is human activity nearby water and that goes for all fish, they swim to a spot where they can not be found. I also agree with that 1 statement that to me it seemed as if the person planned the mermaid to come there because an ocean or river is very vast and in such a vast area how is it that this man sensed that the mermaid was heading that way? Before time people use to question if there is a such thing as spirits but they later on proved that there can be a spirit walking around to greet a person or if their soul is restless and many people believe in that today, however a mermaid? If this footage is true why is it only on youtube why didn’t it hit ABC?

  14. Steven Says:

    Mythological or supernatural or ocean existing species we have yet to catch, one thing is for sure, mermaids live in our imagination. I hope they do exist and I hope they are mean as shit.

  15. Alley Says:

    Yeah, It kinda looks real,
    But why wouldn’t anyone talk about it,
    Or why wasn’t it on the news?
    I’d like to know who the diver was.
    But i hope they’re real!!!

  16. Sophie Says:

    Yer i agree with alley whoeva u r
    why wasnt it on da news?

  17. andy Says:

  18. Sharmaine Says:

    i do believe mermaids are real… they are really cool..
    even though we can’t see them.. i can feel that they are real…
    i want to be a mermaid someday…^_^

  19. Gaz Says:

    Why can’t Andy speak English?

    And come on! This footage is obviously fake! Why was it never on the news? Why didn’t the ‘mermaid’ react? Why was the cameraman waiting for it? Why didn’t HE react!?

    I’m not saying Mermaids don’t exist - but that wasn’t one.

  20. mehtap Says:

    well i think mermaids do exist i mean the ocean is flipin huge you could expect anything!!!!BUT I DIDNT SAY THE VIDEO IS REAL!!!!

  21. JP Says:

    If I saw one I would be freaked out but that’s the only way anyone would ever know if they really exist or not.

  22. lester Says:

    bullshit!

  23. lester Says:

    i think it is total f#*king bullshit!

  24. chloe Says:

    COME ON GUYS DO YOU PEOPLE REALLY BELIEVE IT IT IS SO STUPID I MEAN NOT EVEN MY COUSIN WHICH IS 3 BELIEVE IN THIS KIND OF BULLSHIT!

    GET ALIVE PEOPLE

  25. lana Says:

    LOL YALL THIS JUNK AINT REAL BUT THERE IS A SPELL THAT CAN TURN YOU INTO A MERMAID.FOREVER!

  26. lana Says:

    THAT SPELL FREAKED ME OUT SO I DID NOT DO IT

  27. chelsea Says:

    the video is fake becuase i notice when the mermaid was swimming i would see her knees on the costume….. but i do believe in mermaids….. i know they exist….. n i know one day everybody is going to believe in them……. btw where is the mermaid spell i wnna try it

  28. kayla Says:

    omfg!! that looked so kool do u think that it was real??

  29. abdi Says:

    well im from somalia east africa my mum used to live jsut off the coast.um i asked her about mermaids and she said that she said 1 back when she was young which is like 1964 i believe her thats what brang me to this site so yes they do exist but again since its 2008 u neva know they could be extinct and especially with natural disasters like tsunamies or typhoons and etc. but yea ur questions have been answered THEY DO EXIST! believe it or not! and no it has nothing to do with this video i doubt this video is real!

  30. Jessika Says:

    If mermaids do exist, they probably look nothing like we beleive them to. Without gills, one cannot breath underwater. people see merfolk as having the bottom half as a tail. with the top half human, they couldnt survive the preasure of the ocean or the tempuratures. it just wouldnt be possable for them to look like this. great video :) but hard to believe.

  31. Ledio Says:

    Hi,
    I really do belive on mermaids … but that is clear that’s a human weared on mermaid suit! Watch it on slow motion … look at her fish part while swimming … it’s human!

  32. Grace Says:

    Hey this is so cool! Well, my best friend and I think I’m a mermaid! so that video proves that me and other mermiads do exist!

  33. Graywolf Says:

    I’ve studied this video, and, you can tell she is human… but mermaids, are, in fact, DEFINETLY real :)

  34. Lana Says:

    i strongly believe in mermaids.
    and so what if we don’t have any ’solid proof’ of their excistance? if you take a moment to realise that last year was the first time they EVER filmed a ghost-faced bat, yes an ugly bat of whitch many people believed not to excist, then think about all those other ‘mythical’ creatures they havn’t filmed or found yet, it’s all just a matter of time.

  35. gracie Says:

    i think mermaids are real because i have seen one swimming in Spain while i was swimming i saw a tail and i went under the water and the tail wasn’t there and i swam back to the top and there it was the mermaids face it pulled me under i thought it was a normal girl but it wasn’t i saw the full thing close up i though i was dreaming but i wasn’t. The mermaid had a starfish with her luckily she went

  36. angela. Says:

    I believe that since the ocean is so vast, mermaids could exist.
    If you watch closely in this vid, you’ll notice the fish not reacting to her at all. I find that particularly odd; she is swimming at a fast rate. Also, a human could not swim at that fast either.

  37. Mary Says:

    Yes, I do believe in mermaids but that was definitely a girl dressed up in a mermaid suit. You can see her legs through it. She knows how to swim like a mermaid though!!!

  38. Mary Says:

    I would say mermaids are real….But, they look fish-like…with scales and more fins than what many artists would want us to believe. I think they even have fins at he back of their hands, on their waists, their necks, I don’t believe they could exist in the ocean with human skin. It was not made for never-ending water…It was made for a mostly dry climate….Also, if their skin were just like ours, maybe they are supernatural beings…If not, they have to have smoothe skin like whales, dolpins or sharks. I also think their skin is made of precious stones (the tail part) and their hair look like ours but have a different texture. I really don’t think they can talk. I think they are very wild and live in the deep ocean floor where no one has gone before.

    I think they are beautiful but their nose may be only two dots, two big eyes that are pretty and a mouth that looks like an ordinary fish. I think also that they have webbed hands.

    Who knows? maybe one day someone might actually catch a glimpse of one.

  39. julio Says:

    it looks very real but i dont belive it much i would like to see a real but real mermaid in the outside of the sea and i hope that video is fake because it mihgt be a danger to diver and other people becaus people say that mermaids ate people and human flesh it is a myth

  40. Selena Rodriguez Says:

    I believe that this is a mermaid. I am very eager to see one in real time coz I am very passionate about MERMAIDS.

  41. roxanne myers Says:

    i do believe in mermaids..but that scene was taken from the movie splash…its all been edited and thats for sure..as i watched splashed 10ths of time and i know that footage…
    in jamaica by the flat bridge river older residents have recall seeing mermaids..at the deepest and stillest part of the rio cobre river..we used to go to the river at night to watched but nevr recall seeing anything strange..but there was alwas sound of sudden splash loud ones ect….but i do think these creatures are out there or was out there…and there should be marines workers ect to investigate because the tale must of come from somewhere real…the earth is covered by 73% of water, i wouldnt be surprised that they exit..i would love for them to be tho..just to to this mysterious tale behind us…..but one day if they do exit for real the truth will come….there was this programm where the diver went 883ft and they some weid looking fishes and creatures…so imagine wats lies at the deepest depth of the ocean..MERMAIDS lool

  42. Chris Says:

    I think that mermaids can exist, I’ve never seen splash, but if this was real the diver would’ve been more awe struck and tried to follow the mermaid rather than sit there and let it swim bye. But even if they dont exist now, the will exist eventually. Someone is gonna want to genetically mutate themselves into one one day. But how to mermaids reproduce?

  43. SEAN Says:

    PEOPLE DON’T BE SILLY DON YOU SEE THIS VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY FAKE……………………………………………………………………………..

  44. Amber Says:

    This is obviously a fake. People can buy realistic looking mermaid fins now and that is how they put together these scams. The video even looks like it is staged. I do believe in mermaids and I believe that they live in the deepest parts of the ocean where humans cannot find them.

  45. mermaidsAreReal Says:

    thats my freakin sister so dont even make fun she lives
    in our pond!!and come on ppln DONT think they dont exist they do and i luv my sister!!

  46. mermaidsAreReal Says:

    that is my freakin sister!! DONT even make fun of her!!!!!!
    she lives in our pond

    PS… mermaidsarereal!!!!!!

  47. meenakshi Says:

    m nt really sure abt this video………may beu its true may be its fake but if this video is fake than who ever has submitted this video should not do this because this is wrong…. and this video is true than this is the greatest discovery ever made……

  48. Cassie Says:

    omg that looks reall if u look at the way the bottom tail is noone could pull a stunt ( swim like that) but i dont no because like somebody on here said you cant catch a mermaid on tape so why would a mermaid swim that close to u? it would be impossible too just catch a mermaid like that ! soo im nt really sure xx

  49. Cassie Says:

    OMG istudies the video nd have u noticed that the thing leading too the tail is so thin? noone can be that fin and plus if u was a human down there the fish would react diffrently but it could be aload ov bullshit ! i do believe in mermaids but u cant say weather they do exist or dont exist but i think the truth will come out one day :) x

  50. J Says:

    My option wasn’t on the poll. Mermaids do exist, however this video was a hoax.

  51. Rae Rae Says:

    I truly believe that mermaids exist, in all our vast ocean, there are no two creatures alike, and who knows whats down there until they decide to make themselves known we”ll just have wait and see! and soon……

  52. NoName Says:

    Well ,what i think is that mermaids exist. I havent seen one but i truly belive that they are real..more researches and i will belive ..i wish i can see a real one

  53. jonas Says:

    mermaids do not exist can’t you people understand?

  54. jonas Says:

    also no such thing as the lochnes monster or anything

  55. jenna Says:

    I strongly belive in mermaids but i dont know i mean it looks really real and it looks like an actual mermaid and ive never seen splash beforebut if its not fake oh well i mean the mermaid probably didnt see the diverbut WHO KNOWS?

  56. james Says:

  57. Lisa Says:

  59. me Says:

    i think its all a joke

  60. myOwnMind Says:

    how can mermaids exist if its all a hoax

  61. john o. a. Says:

    hi,
    feel there is a great difference between the spiritually enlightened and the scientist, since the latter base there fact on things seen.
    but if some believe in the existence of witchcraft, then there are creatures in the abyss known to those who believe in it as MERMAIDS!!!

  62. solii Says:

    loool come on thats so fake!! it looks real planned

  63. yaya Says:

    im a merimaid u r not im so buitiful

  64. nicole Says:

  65. mermaidbealiver Says:

  68. lauren harrison Says:

    they might be real but the aint

  69. lauren harrison Says:

    *they

  70. Viresh Says:

    this is a bunch of crock!

    if you pay close attention to the 26th second, you will notice a burst of bubbles. why would a mermaid let go of bubbles! are they supposed to be able to “Breath” underwater and for all practical purposes there isnt any AIR under the sea!

    losers!

  71. RushiiChan Says:

    Well, I agree with some things that Imran Ahmad pointed.
    You can tell the footage is real because if it was just a disguise, the tail would be too thin and short for two legs to fit in, besides, a human needs to use both legs to swim well,and if this was just a person in a costume he would have difficulties to swim that fast and well.

    Besides, you cannot tell it’s true cause there are some facts that other people have pointed here already: The diver who filmed this didn’t seemed to freak out, but think carefully, how would you react at such situation? You couldn’t scream, as you’d know you’re in the ocean, so the only thing you might do is to keep still and film the mermaid, as this guy did.
    Also, what was a guy doing don’t-know-how-many meters down the ocean with a camera? Just recording the middle of nowhere while a shark could drop by and attack you? The person who recorded this already seemed to know that a “mermaid” was about to pass by, like if he was just waiting for it and geting prepared to record it. But you never know, maybe he was there because of business reasons and got the chance to see a real mermaid and (lucky you!) record a real proof.
    But then again, why didn’t this was on news or something?
    Got to know this is really tricky…
    Anyway, wanna let you know I do believe in mermaids, there are so many tales about them that I have come to think they do exist. How can you explain all of those sailors that suddenly died in the middle of their trips? This world’s full of mysteries, you never know (the world’s a mystery itself)

  72. kendra :DD Says:

    guys this actually might be real,the ocean is full of wonders that havent been solved yet.i mean for those of you who have to see it to believe it,look at it this way. you dont see air but u know its real and its there. you dont see alot of things but they are there.im not saying i tottaly believe its real but it might be who knows?? mermaids sung to sailors to attract them.and alot of sailors did die for no explainable reason. think about it guys.

  73. kendra :DD Says:

    some of the things rushiichan said are true but the footage seems real. and some divers film nature underwater for the heck of it so they can whatch it later and observe things in the video. this man probaly filmed the mermaid but he didnt want to scare it so he sat as still as possible. although some say mermaids went extinct at the end of the ice age because of temperature changes.since mermaids were mamals like humans and had body temperatures they couldnt stand the coldness of the ice age so they went extinct.they could be buried deep under the ground for all we know i mean archiologists havent dug EVERYWHERE in the world yet.and i wouldnt be surprised if in the future people will prove the existance of mermaids.they probaly arent all extinct yet. who knows.

  74. kendra :DD Says:

    mabye the diver didnt want to give this to anyone to put on the news havent u thought about that???? mabye he wanted to keep it more secret and only posted it on here so people wouldnt make a big deal out of it or so that the non believers wouldnt laugh at him.

  75. KEnDyyy Says:

    omg i looks so real

  76. KEnDyyy Says:

    BUT COULD IT BE TRUE AND WY DIDNT I BE ON NEWS

  77. rubiichan Says:

    i say,the video was partly true and partly unbelievable. i mean i don’t really know if mermaids exist but for some reasons i choose to let go of my imagination and just think that maybe they really do exist. you see,guysz. there are many parts of the ocean that has not been discovered yet. and its too deep to discover. but one thing is true. mermaids can truly exist. i watched the video 3 times and i’m convinced that it’s truly a mermaid. but the quetion is. mermaids are known to be so “mailap” how come she doesn’t notice there is someone spying on her?.. (i’m confused guysz.)

  78. AN@ v@RGas Says:

    welll…im n0t dat sur3 if y dexcist…..BUTttttt idK mayb dey do……but i defenetly aggre dat it woud of ben 0n da news soooo dat is TOTALLY a FAKE video…yup just a human dat swims lyk a mermaid. althoug i do think dat dey xciztcuz i saw s0m3 picz on youtube dat lo0k real…..but id really k…

  79. Adonia Says:

    I think dat dis is really amazing! It looks very real and I do believe in mermaids and I noe dat dey do exist. The sea is a vast place and anything is possible. There r many secrets dat de ocean holds and we might neva find out those secrets.

    I really want 2 beliee in dis video and I think dat it is real but there r so many ppl dat make fake videos and do other tings dat it is very hard to tell wheather it is real or not.

    There r many old bks dat sy dat these things exist and de Old People knew more than these Scientists who try 2 say dat everything is made from atoms and other crap and try to deny de fact dat these creatures exist!

    Dat drives me crazy! Most Adults think dat dey noe everything and they don’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Anyz gr8 video and cuddos to all thos who believe in all magical creatures!
