Mermaids???

Maybe they exist in the astral plame.

I meant "astral plane".

That "documentary" was fiction. It even said so in the credits.

There might be a chance that mermaids exist because there are still creatures out there that haven't been discovered. If they are real, they aren't those cute, loveable characters but they are devious. It will be a bad idea meeting up with one. The same discussion has happened with Unicorns and Dragons. A unicorn was supposedly found in 2009 and people are STILL debating weather it is a joke or not. Dragons are mostly spirits and sometimes they can communicate with us. For now, mermaids and unicorns can be mythical just just vampires (not phy-vamps) and werewolves

Until science proves us wrong

The "unicorn" found in 2009 was a deer with a single horn growing in the middle of its head rather than the standard two. It was simply put, a deformed deer. That happens sometimes in nature. As someone stated above, the mermaid show on the animal planet was a mockumentary...just like the dragon one a few years ago. Many mistook that one as well for a real documentary. I guess they saw some of it and did not see the beginning where they state that its not real. Mermaids, vampires, dragons, werewolves, unicorns...these are not real, they are the stuff of fairy tales and movie fiction.
