A miracle from Israel
If you haven't heard by now, Israel has its own mermaid. Seen frolicking in the Haifa Bay, tourism officials have offered a $1 million prize booty for solid proof she exists. Causing a boom in tourism in the town of Kiryat Yam near Haifa, people are flocking to the shores after world media reports say the half-human half-fish mermaid likes to frolic in the sea.
My theory is that 'she' is probably a disfigured dolphin or baby whale who's strayed too close to the Mediterranean shore. Given the immense amount of pollution lingering from industry and the port at Haifa, it's very likely that the animals in the bay have been affected.
Locals and tourists in the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam have been flocking to the coast in hopes of glimpsing a creature that most people believe only exist in fairy tales.
An alleged mermaid, said to resemble a cross between a fish and a young girl, only appears at sunset. It performs a few tricks for onlookers before disappearing for the night.
One of the first people to see the mermaid, Shlomo Cohen, said, "I was with friends when suddenly we saw a woman laying on the sand in a weird way. At first I thought she was just another sunbather, but when we approached she jumped into the water and disappeared. We were all in shock because we saw she had a tail."
The sightings apparently began several months ago.
