Are mermaids real? I have never seen one myself, but many sailors have reported seeing them. Some even believe to have been rescued by them. If we could start thinking outside of our comfort zone it doesn't seem so hard to imagine. There are many places in the sea that are undescovered. No one really knows for sure what is down there. Take into consideration the many discovered animals,bugs, and sealife each year.I can't even begin to imagine the things that science hasn't discovered. There are places in the ocean that are too deep and too dangerous for humans to get to. So who is to say that there isn't mermaids down there? I don't know that I think there is any but I don't know that I would rule it out either. After all who knows what really lurks in the dark seas of the world?
