The mysterious remains that washed up on the beach are believed to be those of a mermaid, the UK’s The Sun reports. The fragile skeleton was discovered by a dog walker in Plymouth, England, at low tide.
Ben Landricombe, 38, said, “It was like a human skeleton with a fish tail and it looked like the remains of a mermaid.”
The Defense Department maintenance worker found the remains on Jennycliff Beach.
Landrycomb then showed the skeleton to neighbors and friends. He added, “Throughout Turnchapel, a small fishing village, no one knew what kind of creature it was supposed to be.”
Many people agree that it could have been a mermaid.
But one archaeologist poured cold water after studying photos of the bones. Dr James Morris, a senior lecturer in archaeology at the University of Central Lancashire, said, “All I can say is that it’s either a sheep, a goat or a European roe.”
