1
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:10,160
They're catching up.
2
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:12,160
>> Beneath the waves, something watches,
3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,160
something that moves, thinks, and
4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,400
perhaps even waits for the right moment
5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,720
to reveal itself. In this video,
6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,240
fishermen, divers, and bystanders come
7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,400
face to [music] face with beings that
8
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,519
defy belief. Beings that shouldn't
9
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,680
exist, yet they do. So, watch closely
10
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,920
because the ocean is not just water and
11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,079
silence. It is alive in ways you've
12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,680
never dared to imagine.
13
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:36,680
>> Pin it. Pin it. Don't let it get under
14
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,680
you.
15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,040
>> Some fishermen uploaded a clip online
16
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,200
showing what they now call their
17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,320
strangest catch [music] of all time.
18
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,160
>> Easy, easy. Keep her steady.
19
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,120
>> Look at those things. They're moving.
20
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:50,879
>> Oh gosh, she's waking up.
21
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,199
>> HOLD THE NET. HOLD
22
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:57,079
>> BACK.
23
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:57,079
>> She's on the deck.
24
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:01,520
gone. Just like that.
25
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,000
>> When they pulled the net up, the
26
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,400
creature's [music] entire body glowed.
27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,960
Soft at first, then brighter, almost
28
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,960
like it was charging [music] itself. And
29
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,439
despite being tangled, it was
30
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:15,200
unbelievably strong, thrashing [music]
31
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:17,759
with a force none of the men had ever
32
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,360
felt before. Even after releasing it,
33
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:22,560
the glow lingered on the deck [music]
34
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,119
like a fading imprint. The fishermen say
35
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,880
they still think about it. the strength,
36
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:29,680
the [music] light, and the unsettling
37
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,680
feeling that it recognized them. Some
38
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,240
believe they encountered a species of
39
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,400
deep sea being that only rises during
40
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,960
specific lunar cycles. [music] Others
41
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,880
think it wasn't a sea creature at all,
42
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,759
but something that doesn't fit in any
43
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,759
category we understand.
44
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,200
But this next catch takes the mystery
45
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,799
even further. Another group of fishermen
46
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,880
shared footage of something they're
47
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:57,119
still struggling to name.
48
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,560
>> Keep in that tight
49
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:01,200
break. Watch the tail.
50
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,479
Get it off.
51
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,280
>> He's got it. Pull it back.
52
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:07,119
>> It's biting me.
53
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,119
>> Hang on. Hook the tail. Hook the tail.
54
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:11,680
>> It wasn't glowing, but it was solid,
55
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:13,520
stiff, and unbelievably powerful. When
56
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,680
they tried to lift it onto the boat, the
57
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,760
creature tensed up like its muscles were
58
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,920
made of coiled steel. And with one
59
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:23,959
violent twist, it tore itself free and
60
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,959
slipped back into the water.
61
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,000
In this next clip, another group of
62
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,400
fishermen recorded a catch that shook
63
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,200
even the bravest men on board. They
64
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,800
pulled their net up, expecting the usual
65
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,200
fish, crabs, maybe debris. But what came
66
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,840
thrashing out of the water was nothing
67
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,599
anyone could prepare for. Easy. Keep up.
68
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,760
Watch the tail. God,
69
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,640
>> she's slick. Grab higher. Higher. She's
70
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,519
looking right at me, man.
71
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,800
>> Hold it. Hold.
72
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:51,680
>> Holy. She's strong.
73
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040
>> Don't let go.
74
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
>> I've tried. All right. Watch your hand.
75
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,879
>> She's twisting. No. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.
76
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,440
NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. LOOK OUT.
77
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:56,000
>> JESUS.
78
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,560
>> GONE.
79
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,800
>> The creature's skin was slick like oil.
80
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Its movements sharp and violent,
81
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,720
slipping through their grip every time
82
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,480
they tried to steady the net. It
83
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,640
twisted, hissed, and fought with a
84
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,800
strength far beyond its size until it
85
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,959
tore itself free and plunged back into
86
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,680
the sea. Since then, the fishermen
87
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:18,080
insist they caught a siren. Its shape,
88
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,720
its reactions, even the sound it made
89
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:25,640
before escaping. But take a closer look
90
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,640
for yourself. What do you see?
91
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,760
This next clip pushes things to a whole
92
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,080
new level. Here, fisherman captured
93
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,840
footage of creatures so unexplained that
94
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,159
viewers still argue about what they
95
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,040
truly are. Watch closely.
96
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,799
>> WHERE WAS THAT?
97
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,680
>> GET THE LIGHT ON IT. KEEP IT ON IT. It's
98
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:44,159
coming up on the rail.
99
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,040
>> Back up. Back up. There's another one.
100
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:46,720
>> On the deck.
101
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,200
>> Get the gap.
102
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,319
>> It's over.
103
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,280
>> Pulling back. Back. Back.
104
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:53,200
>> It's on the boat.
105
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,120
>> The skin tone alone doesn't match
106
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,439
anything known. Their eyes were
107
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,280
unnervingly large, their teeth razor
108
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:02,080
sharp, and their lower bodies were
109
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,480
unmistakably fish-like, but not like any
110
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,120
fish from this world. And the speed they
111
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,200
moved within the water, far beyond what
112
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,599
any human or animal should be capable
113
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,439
of. Now, be honest. If something like
114
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:16,239
this suddenly rose out of the water
115
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:19,799
beside your boat, staring right at you,
116
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:19,799
what would you do?
117
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:25,199
In this next clip, a group of fishermen
118
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,160
found themselves fighting two battles at
119
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:29,919
once. One against the raging storm and
120
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,193
the other against something far more
121
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:33,193
unsettling. [screaming]
122
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,840
>> Get back. GET BACK. PUSH IT OFF.
123
00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:39,440
>> IT'S ON the rail. Hit it.
124
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,960
>> Hold tight. I don't see it. I DON'T SEE
125
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,040
IT. HOLD ON.
126
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,880
>> Some say it was warning them, signaling
127
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,080
that something else was coming with the
128
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,240
storm, something even more dangerous.
129
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,160
Others believe sirens can sense shifts
130
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,919
in the ocean, and this one might have
131
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,000
been trying to escape the same threat
132
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:57,759
the fishermen were fleeing from.
133
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,880
Whatever the case, the men didn't wait
134
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:03,759
around to find out. They rerouted,
135
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:07,198
turned back toward land, and according
136
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:07,280
to them, the ocean suddenly went silent.
137
00:05:07,198 --> 00:05:09,759
>> [music]
138
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,360
>> almost too silent. So was the creature
139
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:16,360
trying to attack them or save them. You
140
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,360
decide.
141
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaking of creatures with unexpected
142
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,080
intentions, this next clip raises even
143
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,360
more questions. Another group of
144
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,199
fishermen found themselves [music]
145
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,160
wrestling with something that looked
146
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:31,840
small, almost harmless until they
147
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,039
actually tried [music] to catch it.
148
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,680
>> Oh, COME ON. IT'S STUCK.
149
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:38,800
>> GOT IT. JESUS. HEAVY. The hell. Keep it
150
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,199
down. Hold it. Hold it. It's moving. Got
151
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,800
the net.
152
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,600
>> I got it. Tie it off. Tie it off. It's
153
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,759
going to tear out.
154
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,759
>> The creature was unbelievably heavy for
155
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:48,080
its size, slipping through their grip
156
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:50,320
like wet stone. Every time they thought
157
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,639
they had it, it shot into another corner
158
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,800
of the boat as if it already memorized
159
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:57,120
every escape route. Some ocean
160
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,240
researchers say this is typical of deep
161
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,919
sea beings. Many of them evolve dense,
162
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,000
compact [music] bodies to withstand
163
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:06,880
crushing pressure miles beneath the
164
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,360
surface. Others claim tiny sea creatures
165
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,479
are often the most dangerous, citing
166
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,039
legends of Schol mimics, beings that
167
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:17,199
disguise themselves as juvenile fish,
168
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:19,840
but carry the strength of something much
169
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:23,199
older. There's even a rumor that certain
170
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:26,880
ancient ocean species grow smaller, not
171
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:28,560
larger, with age, becoming more compact
172
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,520
and more intelligent [music] as the
173
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,600
years pass. If that's true, this
174
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,400
creature may not have been young at all.
175
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,400
It might have been old.
176
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,560
Now, this next clip is one that still
177
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,639
leaves viewers arguing non-stop because
178
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,639
no one can confidently say what they're
179
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:50,280
looking at. But I'll let you see and
180
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:50,280
decide for yourself.
181
00:06:55,274 --> 00:06:58,240
>> [music]
182
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,400
>> At first glance, it looks like two
183
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,400
mermaids tangled together, but the way
184
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,319
they moved had people wondering if this
185
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,160
was [music] something else entirely.
186
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:08,319
Some viewers think this was a mating
187
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,339
ritual, something rarely caught on
188
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:12,880
camera. Others believe it was two
189
00:07:10,339 --> 00:07:15,039
[music] sirens fighting over territory
190
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,720
because according to old folktales,
191
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:19,840
sirens [music] become extremely
192
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,319
territorial during breeding season. And
193
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,160
then there's the last group, the ones
194
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:26,715
who believe these aren't mermaids or
195
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,360
sirens at all, but a different species.
196
00:07:26,715 --> 00:07:29,599
[music]
197
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,199
One that usually stays far below the
198
00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:33,680
surface and only comes up when
199
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:36,540
disturbed. So, what do you think? A
200
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,639
fight, a ritual, or a species we haven't
201
00:07:36,540 --> 00:07:40,120
>> [music]
202
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:40,120
>> identified yet.
203
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:45,680
This next one feels like a full-on
204
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:47,440
warning from the ocean itself. A group
205
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,000
of friends took their buddy's new boat
206
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,960
out for a simple fishing trip. Nothing
207
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,479
serious, [music] just fun on the water.
208
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,240
But then they saw something far off.
209
00:07:56,479 --> 00:08:01,120
Silhouettes gliding [music] across the
210
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,199
surface. At first they laughed it off,
211
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,199
thinking they were dolphins. But the
212
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:07,039
closer those shapes came, [music] the
213
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:11,560
clearer it became. These weren't
214
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:11,560
dolphins. Not even close.
215
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,240
>> THEY'RE CATCHING UP. LET'S GO. LET'S GO.
216
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,360
>> Within seconds, the creatures charged at
217
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,520
the boat, fast, coordinated, and way too
218
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,000
intelligent. The friends floored the
219
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,120
engine, waves crashing behind them as
220
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,840
the creatures [music] kept up
221
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,599
effortlessly. One even lunged toward the
222
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,680
man holding the camera, and the
223
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:35,919
recording cuts off right as it reaches
224
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:38,080
the boat. No one knows what happened
225
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,599
after that moment, but the fact that
226
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,599
this [music] footage made it online
227
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:44,159
tells you one thing. Either the men
228
00:08:41,599 --> 00:08:49,320
survived or someone else found their
229
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:49,320
camera. Either way, the mystery remains.
230
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,519
This next fisherman encounter didn't end
231
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:58,160
the way anyone hoped. These men had been
232
00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:00,240
at sea for decades, but nothing prepared
233
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,959
them for what they hauled up that day.
234
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,440
The net felt heavier than usual, too
235
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:07,839
heavy, like something deep and ancient
236
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,080
was fighting back from below. And once
237
00:09:07,839 --> 00:09:12,560
they finally dragged it to the surface,
238
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,200
the creature exploded into a violent
239
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:17,360
frenzy, thrashing with a strength no
240
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,279
ordinary sea animal should have.
241
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,040
>> Hold it. Grab the tail. Grab the tail.
242
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:21,440
>> I'm trying. She's slick.
243
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,160
>> Holy.
244
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,120
>> Look at its eyes.
245
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,240
>> KEEP HER DOWN. KEEP HER DOWN.
246
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,519
>> THAT'S too strong.
247
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:30,640
>> Ready? On three. One, two.
248
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:32,399
>> Oh god.
249
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,640
>> The men were determined to keep it,
250
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:36,560
yelling over the chaos, refusing to let
251
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,600
their rare find escape. But
252
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:41,760
determination wasn't enough. One slip,
253
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,440
one pull too strong, and one of the
254
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,440
fishermen toppled straight into the
255
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,440
water.
256
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Now, before you watch this next clip,
257
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,880
picture the tension of hauling up a net
258
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,200
you know shouldn't feel alive. Yet, it
259
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,120
does. The fishermen were out on calm
260
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,120
waters when their net snagged onto
261
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,680
something unusual, something that
262
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,080
resisted, as if it understood it was
263
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,680
being [music] captured. Come on. PULL.
264
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,959
PULL. TRYING TO STUCK US.
265
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,000
>> WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
266
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:14,880
>> HOLY. Grab the net. Move it down. God is
267
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,480
screaming. TIE IT OFF. TIE IT UP.
268
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,880
>> The moment it broke [music] the surface,
269
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,920
the creature let out a scream so sharp.
270
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,920
It wasn't human. It wasn't animal. It
271
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,839
was something [music] in between. It's
272
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,000
said that creatures that scream when
273
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:30,800
exposed to air have often been linked to
274
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,720
folktales about omens. Warnings that
275
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,440
fishermen in ancient times [music] took
276
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,440
very seriously. Some even believed that
277
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,839
when a creature cries like that, [music]
278
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,640
it's calling out to other unseen beings
279
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:46,120
below. So, what exactly did they pull
280
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,120
out that day?
281
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:51,920
In this next video, a man was standing
282
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,480
alone by the shoreline, letting the
283
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,160
sound of the waves clear his head, when
284
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,079
something beneath the surface kept
285
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,079
trying to get his attention. Watch this.
286
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,120
He described the creature as beautiful,
287
00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:16,320
not in a fairy tale way, but in a way
288
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,399
that felt ancient, almost sacred. He
289
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:22,079
said her smile was unlike anything he'd
290
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:25,200
ever seen, warm, inviting, and strangely
291
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:27,200
human. But their moment didn't last. She
292
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,839
stayed just long enough to look at him
293
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,160
like she was studying his face before
294
00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:34,240
slipping back into the deep. The man
295
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,440
stayed there for nearly an hour, hoping
296
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,519
she'd return, but she didn't. And rumors
297
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,160
say mermaids never reveal themselves
298
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:44,560
twice to the same human. Unless that
299
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,480
human has a role to play in their world.
300
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:49,279
Others believe an encounter like this
301
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,839
marks you, and sooner or later you'll
302
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:54,839
see her again, whether you're ready or
303
00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:54,839
not.
304
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:01,360
Now, this next clip drops us straight
305
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:02,959
into chaos. Some fishermen were on board
306
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,560
struggling with a creature that looked
307
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:08,079
like the [music] perfect combination of
308
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:11,440
fish and human. Scales like armor, eyes
309
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:14,320
too aware [music] to be just an animal.
310
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,560
>> Hold it. Hold it. Look at that.
311
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,040
>> That's not a fish. Put it down. Easy.
312
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:18,720
Watch your head.
313
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,600
>> Oh my god. Look at the eyes. It's
314
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,680
>> breathing.
315
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,959
>> It's breathing. According to the men,
316
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:25,040
they had been [music] wrestling with it
317
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:27,279
for almost 30 minutes when the sky
318
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,240
suddenly darkened and a heavy storm
319
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:32,079
rolled in out of nowhere. Waves pounded
320
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,760
the boat, lightning [music] flashed, and
321
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:35,279
half the crew had to abandon the
322
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,920
struggle just to keep the boat from
323
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:40,000
capsizing. With fewer hands holding it
324
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,240
down, the creature [music] twisted,
325
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,720
slipped free of the net, and vanished
326
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,200
back into the ocean with a final echoing
327
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,279
cry. Some say the storm wasn't a
328
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,360
coincidence that creatures [music] like
329
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:53,839
this can summon the sea itself when
330
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,680
threatened. Others believe it was a
331
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:58,320
warning that the fishermen [music]
332
00:12:55,680 --> 00:13:00,480
weren't supposed to catch that thing and
333
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,120
the ocean simply came to take back what
334
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,880
belonged to it. Either way, [music] the
335
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:10,680
men say they've never seen the weather
336
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:10,680
turn that fast before or after that day.
337
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,519
Now, what you're about to see in this
338
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,920
next video has sparked one of the
339
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:20,560
biggest debates online. Some people
340
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,040
swear it's an alien. Others insist it's
341
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:24,800
a crypted, and a surprising number
342
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,519
believe this is the closest we've ever
343
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,519
been to filming a real mermaid. Watch
344
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,519
closely.
345
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:47,680
The way these beings hovered at the
346
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,680
surface surprised everyone. They weren't
347
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:52,639
violent. They didn't charge at the
348
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:56,240
fishermen. They didn't even flinch. They
349
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:59,279
simply floated there, staring. Their
350
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:02,240
eyes were wide, unblinking, and
351
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:04,000
unsettlingly human, almost as if they
352
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,160
were studying the men instead of the
353
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,760
other way around. And some people
354
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,480
believe that's exactly what was
355
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,880
happening. Rumors say mur folk appear
356
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,959
like this only when they're scouting,
357
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:18,320
when they're trying to understand who
358
00:14:14,959 --> 00:14:21,600
who has entered their territory. But you
359
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,440
decide. Were these beings curious or
360
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,440
were they warning the fishermen to
361
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,440
leave?
362
00:14:27,839 --> 00:14:32,959
This next encounter was the complete
363
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,279
opposite of calm. No gentle floating, no
364
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:36,959
quiet staring. This one seemed
365
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:39,440
determined to give the fishermen a
366
00:14:36,959 --> 00:14:41,440
memory they'd never forget. Some
367
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,440
fishermen were out on the water, still
368
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,600
hoping to pull in a bigger catch before
369
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,320
heading home when their peaceful morning
370
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,320
suddenly shifted into a nightmare. Watch
371
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,880
carefully. You might HAVE SNAGGED ON
372
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,639
SOMETHING. THE [screaming] HELL IS THAT?
373
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,680
>> Jesus Christ.
374
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:59,279
Did you see that?
375
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,120
>> It's gone. It's gone.
376
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:04,240
>> The creature shot out of the water with
377
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,880
unbelievable speed. Its face twisted in
378
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,120
something between rage and agony. It let
379
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,760
out a scream so loud the men said they
380
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,320
felt it in their chests. And just as
381
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,720
quickly as it appeared, it hurled itself
382
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,959
back into the ocean. Almost like its
383
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,560
only purpose was to terrify them before
384
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:23,120
vanishing.
385
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:26,160
Whatever the truth is, one thing is
386
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,480
clear. That creature didn't want to be
387
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,480
touched, and it wanted to make sure no
388
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,720
one forgot what lives out there beneath
389
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,720
the waves.
390
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,800
In this next footage, another group of
391
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,880
fishermen ended up capturing something
392
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,240
or bigger, something they clearly
393
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,720
weren't prepared for.
394
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,720
>> Hold it. Hold.
395
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:50,480
>> Get the gas in now.
396
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,240
>> Got it. Strong. Easy, easy. She's
397
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,399
looking. Don't let go.
398
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,320
>> If you look closely, the creature keeps
399
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:58,000
thrashing across the deck, slamming its
400
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,160
arms on the wooden boards like it's
401
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,480
trying to get its balance or trying to
402
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,639
warn the men to let it go. And then
403
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,480
there's the most disturbing part. When
404
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:10,560
one of the fins attached to its hand
405
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:12,959
suddenly tears off. It hits the floor,
406
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,440
separated, yet somehow it's still
407
00:16:12,959 --> 00:16:17,759
moving. No one knows how that day ended
408
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:21,279
for the crew. There's no follow-up
409
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:24,480
footage, no statements, nothing. But the
410
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:26,399
clip sparked all kinds of theories. Some
411
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,639
say the detached fin looked like a
412
00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:31,519
parasitic limb, something that could
413
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:33,920
survive on its own. Others believe the
414
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:36,720
fin wasn't a fin at all, but a sensory
415
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,720
organ still trying to feel its
416
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:42,000
surroundings even after being ripped
417
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,079
away. And the strangest rumor that the
418
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,120
creature wasn't actually fighting to
419
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:49,920
escape, but fighting to keep that limb
420
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:53,639
attached, as if losing it meant
421
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,639
something far worse.
422
00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:59,839
In this next video, a local fisherman
423
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,480
pulls something out of the water and the
424
00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:05,360
moment it lands on his boat, it goes
425
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:09,400
completely still. No thrashing, no
426
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:09,400
screaming, nothing.
427
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:16,839
in God's name.
428
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,839
>> Still breathing.
429
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:21,439
The creature's colors are unlike
430
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,079
anything he's ever seen. Soft, shifting
431
00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:26,160
tones sliding across its skin like light
432
00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:28,799
passing through water. And the way it
433
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,760
calmly lies, almost resting, leaves him
434
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:34,160
unsure whether it's exhausted or simply
435
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,720
trusting. After observing it for a
436
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,200
moment, how peaceful it looked, how
437
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,919
strangely familiar yet not, he
438
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,240
eventually lifts it back into the river.
439
00:17:41,919 --> 00:17:47,120
The instant it touches the water. It
440
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,679
moves again, disappearing beneath the
441
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:52,000
surface without a trace. Some viewers
442
00:17:49,679 --> 00:17:55,200
believe the creature wasn't dying. It
443
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,360
was playing dead, a natural defense.
444
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,520
Others say it recognized he wasn't a
445
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,600
threat, and a few think it was
446
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,559
intelligent enough to shut down its body
447
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:07,840
on purpose, to convince him to release
448
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:09,360
it. Whatever the truth is, this clip
449
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,360
leaves [music] more questions than
450
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,360
answers.
451
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,440
The following clip shows a creature
452
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,000
lying helpless on a quiet stretch of
453
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,960
beach. Its upper body unmistakably
454
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,440
human, but its lower half covered in
455
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:29,320
shimmering scales like a full-grown
456
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,320
fish. Watch.
457
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,000
So that guy boo.
458
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,903
HEY
459
00:19:08,883 --> 00:19:10,903
>> [music]
460
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,480
>> WHAT TRULY SPARKED DEBATE online wasn't
461
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,440
the creature itself, but the connection
462
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,840
people made. Many viewers immediately
463
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,000
linked this sighting to Mami Wata, the
464
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,160
powerful water spirit deeply rooted in
465
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,520
Western, Eastern, and Southern African
466
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:46,160
folklore. According to legend, Mami Wata
467
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:49,120
appears in different forms. Sometimes
468
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:51,200
fully human, sometimes fully mermaid,
469
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:54,000
and sometimes as a hybrid, just like
470
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,080
this. She's said to lure people with
471
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
beauty, grant wealth, or bring
472
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,559
misfortune depending on how she's
473
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,280
approached. So, when people saw this
474
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:06,720
clip, a lot of them wondered, "Was this
475
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,960
one of Mommy Wat's children, a servant,
476
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,600
or was this creature simply stranded on
477
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,600
land after a violent storm? What do you
478
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,600
think?"
479
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,440
On another beach, this time farther down
480
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:23,919
the coastline, an unsuspecting young
481
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,400
couple came across a siren mermaid lying
482
00:20:23,919 --> 00:20:28,880
almost lifeless on the sand. At first,
483
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:33,720
the scene looked peaceful until they
484
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,720
moved closer. Watch this.
485
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Even though [music] this one appeared
486
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,919
weak, viewers pointed out how dangerous
487
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,919
siren mermaids are known to be. Legends
488
00:20:49,919 --> 00:20:54,000
describe them [music] as ocean predators
489
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:56,240
with hypnotic voices strong enough to
490
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,200
lure boats off course and claws sharp
491
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,960
enough to sink them. Some say sirens
492
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,039
only act helpless when they're luring
493
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,880
their next victim, pretending to be
494
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:07,760
harmless until someone [music] touches
495
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:10,480
them. So, when the couple approached,
496
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:13,600
people online argued they were lucky.
497
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,039
Very lucky. Because if this siren had
498
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,640
even a little more strength, [music]
499
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:19,640
this clip might have ended very
500
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,640
differently.
501
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,360
Out on a quiet stretch of ocean, a group
502
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:27,200
of fishermen hauled in their net, only
503
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:28,080
to freeze in shock at what they'd
504
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,280
caught.
505
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,280
>> Keep the line tight.
506
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,960
>> It's twisting. Watch the tail.
507
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,960
>> Pin it. Pin it. Don't let it get under
508
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,960
you.
509
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,244
>> Hang on.
510
00:21:38,224 --> 00:21:40,244
[screaming]
511
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,520
Don't listen. Just hold her. One of the
512
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,360
men, frustrated and fearful, tried to
513
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,600
hit it with a knife, thinking it might
514
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:52,320
be the only way to subdue the creature,
515
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,640
but that wasn't effective. Its skin was
516
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,880
unnaturally tough, as if built to
517
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,840
survive attacks far stronger than human
518
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,159
weapons. But his cruelty toward a being
519
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,480
they barely understand sparked outrage
520
00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:06,159
online with viewers debating whether
521
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,665
humans have the right to treat these
522
00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:11,280
ocean mysteries this way.
523
00:22:09,665 --> 00:22:13,360
>> [music]
524
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,120
>> In this next clip, a local farmer
525
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:17,360
walking along the shore with his net
526
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,360
captured something unbelievable on
527
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,360
camera.
528
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:27,600
Some viewers swear this proves mermaids
529
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:30,400
can give birth to large numbers of
530
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,679
offspring at once, while others insist
531
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,080
it's staged or fake. Some say it's a
532
00:22:33,679 --> 00:22:39,120
natural phenomenon, others hint at
533
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,840
folklore coming to life. Which side do
534
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:44,380
you lean toward? Ancient myth or modern
535
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,559
hoax? Either way, the ocean isn't
536
00:22:44,380 --> 00:22:51,159
[music] finished surprising us, and
537
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:51,159
perhaps it never will be.
538
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,919
Sometimes the ocean reveals some of the
539
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,679
most mysterious creatures to us.
540
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:05,919
creatures that hide themselves beneath
541
00:23:03,679 --> 00:23:08,720
the sea, far from human sight and deeper
542
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:11,039
than our understanding can reach. For
543
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,280
years, they remain unseen, moving
544
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:16,159
silently through dark waters where no
545
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,559
cameras, no maps, and no rules apply.
546
00:23:16,159 --> 00:23:21,039
But on rare occasions, the ocean gives
547
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:22,720
something back. This video captures a
548
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:24,240
moment where fishermen thought they had
549
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,000
gotten a good catch, but when they
550
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,480
pulled in their nets, what they saw
551
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,720
terrified them. How many more secrets
552
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:34,320
must the ocean be hiding?
553
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:37,559
Okay, she's moving when I move. Back.
554
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,559
Back up.
555
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,880
>> While out on the open ocean at night, a
556
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,880
group of fishermen suddenly find
557
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,000
themselves confronted by something they
558
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:50,000
cannot explain. A strange figure emerges
559
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,880
from the water, its eyes glowing [music]
560
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,520
in the darkness. Rows of sharp teeth
561
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:58,000
visible as a low, unsettling growl cuts
562
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,480
through the silence.
563
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,039
>> Oh god, the hell is that? She's She's
564
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,000
climbing.
565
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:05,320
>> Get the gap. Get it.
566
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,320
>> No. No. NO.
567
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Hold it. Do you see her eyes tear clean
568
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:12,600
through? Sweet mercy.
569
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:18,720
>> Drift
570
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:20,640
where the night knows.
571
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,120
>> Sink
572
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,120
with me.
573
00:24:24,596 --> 00:24:26,616
[screaming]
574
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:33,360
>> What the? Easy. Easy there. You're
575
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,360
beautiful.
576
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,360
Hey.
577
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:40,039
Jesus.
578
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,640
For a moment. The line between reality
579
00:24:58,657 --> 00:25:03,200
[music] and nightmare completely
580
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,320
disappears. It raises unsettling
581
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,799
questions. [music]
582
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Is this creature searching for food,
583
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:10,640
protecting something hidden [music]
584
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,559
beneath the waves, or acting under some
585
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,080
unknown directive beyond human
586
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:16,000
understanding?
587
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,520
Could there be an entire underwater
588
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,520
society [music] structured and
589
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,760
purposeful, carrying out its own
590
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,000
routines in the depths, unseen and
591
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,640
undisturbed? What you're witnessing may
592
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,559
not be a coincidence at all, but a brief
593
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:33,240
accidental look into a [music] hidden
594
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:33,240
world never meant for human eyes.
595
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:39,520
In this next clip, a camera captures
596
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:43,400
what many believe should not exist at
597
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,400
all. mermaids.
598
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,960
A figure in the water moving with an
599
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:04,400
unmistakably to human grace, yet clearly
600
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:06,880
not human. For centuries, stories of
601
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,360
mermaids have been dismissed as fantasy,
602
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:12,640
the result of fear, exhaustion, or
603
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:15,440
imagination at sea. But recordings like
604
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:18,400
this force a different conversation.
605
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,480
If myths can be captured on camera, then
606
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,120
perhaps they were never just stories to
607
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,760
begin with. Perhaps they were early
608
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:28,799
warnings, misunderstood sightings, or
609
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,400
fragments of a much larger truth. So,
610
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:34,240
the next time you hear tales of
611
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,559
mermaids, pause before you dismiss them.
612
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,799
Because one day you might find yourself
613
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:41,200
with an encounter of your own and a
614
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:44,200
story that changes how you see the ocean
615
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,200
forever.
616
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Mermaids are often spoken about in
617
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:54,480
legends and folklore, but mermen, that's
618
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,400
a completely different conversation.
619
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,640
In this clip, a diver is calmly
620
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,960
surveying the ocean floor, focused and
621
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,840
unaware, when the impossible suddenly
622
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,320
happens. A halfhuman figure bursts into
623
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,480
view, a man's upper body, long hair
624
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:12,360
flowing, and a powerful [music] tail
625
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,360
where legs should be.
626
00:27:14,243 --> 00:27:16,263
[snorts]
627
00:27:20,159 --> 00:27:25,120
The appearance is sudden, deliberate,
628
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,679
and far too clear to dismiss as a trick
629
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:30,480
of the light. It forces an unsettling
630
00:27:27,679 --> 00:27:32,880
question. If stories of mermaids have
631
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,360
been told for centuries, how much of
632
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,279
that mythology was incomplete? What
633
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:40,000
you're about to see may not be a myth
634
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:43,960
resurfacing, but a discovery we were
635
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,960
never prepared to make.
636
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,240
It began like any other night on the
637
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,480
open water. A small team of fishermen
638
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,760
worked in silence, casting their nets
639
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,919
under a dark sky, guided only by habit,
640
00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:01,440
experience, and the gentle rhythm of the
641
00:27:57,919 --> 00:28:04,080
waves. The seab breeze was familiar.
642
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Nothing felt out of place. Then the net
643
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:09,200
grew heavy. Not in the way it does when
644
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,440
a large fish fights back, or when debris
645
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,240
clings to the mesh. This weight felt
646
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:17,039
wrong, uneven,
647
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,120
alive, curiosity quickly turned to
648
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:21,760
unease as they hauled it in. And when
649
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:25,039
the net finally broke the surface, what
650
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:28,279
they saw stopped them cold.
651
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:28,279
>> It's moving.
652
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:35,039
>> Hey, get back.
653
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,159
They told me you saw that.
654
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:40,159
>> I saw it. Nobody's going to believe us.
655
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:42,559
No one. Caught within the mesh was
656
00:28:40,159 --> 00:28:44,799
something no one expected. Shimmering
657
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:47,600
scales reflected flashes of color under
658
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:50,640
the boat's lights. For a brief moment,
659
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,960
the figure lay still as if stunned. Then
660
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,039
it thrashed violently, struggling with
661
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:58,000
sudden strength, tearing free and
662
00:28:55,039 --> 00:29:01,360
splashing back toward the depths. She
663
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,440
didn't belong there. Trapped, exposed,
664
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,919
far from the open sea that was clearly
665
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:08,559
her home. That night, the fisherman
666
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:10,399
returned to shore with empty nets. but
667
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:14,200
with a story that would follow them for
668
00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:14,200
the rest of their lives.
669
00:29:15,679 --> 00:29:20,480
In this next clip, what begins as
670
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,880
harmless fun quickly takes a disturbing
671
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:25,120
turn. A group of people head out on a
672
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,679
speedboat late at night, cutting across
673
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,559
the water, laughing, enjoying the thrill
674
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:33,360
of the open sea. Everything feels normal
675
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:36,080
until it doesn't. As the boat slows,
676
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:39,200
they notice shapes breaking the surface,
677
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:41,760
heads emerging from the dark water, eyes
678
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,159
shining unnaturally as they lock onto
679
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:47,440
the boat. One after another, more
680
00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:49,760
appear, silent, but deliberate, as if
681
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,960
sending a clear message. This wasn't
682
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:55,279
curiosity. It felt like a warning. Panic
683
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,919
sets in. The engine roars [music] back
684
00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:00,320
to life, and the boat speeds away. But
685
00:29:57,919 --> 00:30:03,200
the water behind them begins to move.
686
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:07,220
The shapes follow, keeping pace,
687
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,220
refusing to disappear. [music]
688
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:19,919
It's as if the message wasn't just to
689
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:22,720
leave, but to never return. So, what do
690
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:25,520
you think? Was this a group of creatures
691
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,360
protecting their territory, or a warning
692
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,039
meant to ensure humans [music] never
693
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,679
come back to that part of the ocean
694
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:31,679
again?
695
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,840
In this clip, we see what appears to be
696
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:40,240
a merman perched at top a rock, quietly
697
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,559
gazing across the water, almost as if
698
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,720
he's taking in a moment of fresh air.
699
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:48,600
For a brief second, the scene feels
700
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,600
calm, natural.
701
00:30:52,159 --> 00:30:58,520
[ __ ] into the water.
702
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,520
Come on.
703
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,080
But the moment he becomes aware of the
704
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,000
camera, everything changes. He reacts
705
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,320
instantly, slipping back into the water
706
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,640
and disappearing beneath the surface.
707
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,679
The retreat is quick, deliberate, and
708
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,320
purposeful. So, what does that tell us?
709
00:31:15,679 --> 00:31:21,200
Was he startled by being seen? Was it
710
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,679
fear, caution, or an instinct to remain
711
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,760
hidden? Or is his existence meant to
712
00:31:23,679 --> 00:31:28,640
stay secret, [music] far from human
713
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,640
eyes?
714
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,240
In this next clip, the encounter takes
715
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,080
an even more disturbing turn. What
716
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,240
appears to be a mermaid doesn't stay
717
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,000
hidden beneath the water. Instead, it
718
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,480
emerges onto land in a way that
719
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:47,679
immediately triggers fear.
720
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:49,200
>> Oh god, what is that? Easy. Easy. Hold
721
00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:53,320
on.
722
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,320
No. No. No.
723
00:31:56,552 --> 00:31:59,200
>> [music]
724
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,120
>> Only two hands are visible at first,
725
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,760
gripping the edge as it pulls itself
726
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:07,039
forward. Then come [music] the teeth,
727
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:09,360
sharp, exposed, and unmistakably
728
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:12,159
threatening. The person behind the
729
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,679
camera panics, their fear obvious as the
730
00:32:12,159 --> 00:32:17,200
realization [music] sets in that
731
00:32:13,679 --> 00:32:19,200
whatever this is, it isn't curious. It's
732
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,519
aggressive. This [music] moment shatters
733
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,679
the peaceful image often associated with
734
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:25,919
mermaids and replaces it with something
735
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:28,702
far more unsettling.
736
00:32:25,919 --> 00:32:28,702
Could they be dangerous? [music]
737
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:36,080
In this next moment, the situation
738
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:38,000
becomes even more intense. Two fishermen
739
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,320
are seen struggling to restrain what
740
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
appears to be a mermaid. All while a
741
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:45,519
violent storm [music] batters their
742
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:49,720
boat. I've done it. He's breaking loose.
743
00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:49,720
Walker, your back.
744
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,559
>> Rain lashes down, waves slam against the
745
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,720
hull, and the vessel rocks
746
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:59,120
uncontrollably as the creature fights
747
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,679
back. The scene is chaotic and
748
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,360
dangerous. Every movement feels
749
00:33:01,679 --> 00:33:04,880
desperate, [music] every second
750
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,559
unstable.
751
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,159
Between the raging weather and the
752
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:10,640
strength of whatever they're trying to
753
00:33:08,159 --> 00:33:12,480
hold down, it's hard to tell what poses
754
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,399
the greater threat. [music] The storm
755
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,640
surrounding them or the creature already
756
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:17,640
on board.
757
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,799
Now, deep in the open ocean, some
758
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,679
fishermen found themselves facing the
759
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:27,919
unexpected. They hauled up their net
760
00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:30,080
only to discover something alive,
761
00:33:27,919 --> 00:33:31,279
moving, and completely unwilling to be
762
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,799
caught.
763
00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:36,840
>> Easy with it. Bring her up.
764
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:36,840
>> Heavy. Hang on. It's moving.
765
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:44,799
>> The creature thrashed, twisted, and
766
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,200
fought with a force that left the men in
767
00:33:44,799 --> 00:33:49,200
awe. Eventually, it slipped free,
768
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,440
vanishing into the depths as if it had
769
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,399
never been there at all. One thing is
770
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:59,000
clear, the ocean still holds beings.
771
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:59,000
Humans are only beginning to glimpse.
772
00:34:00,159 --> 00:34:04,480
This next clip is a chilling reminder of
773
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,559
how quickly fun can turn into danger.
774
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,480
What starts as a casual moment on the
775
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:10,399
water with a group of friends suddenly
776
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,200
shifts when they realize they're no
777
00:34:10,399 --> 00:34:14,800
longer alone. Behind them, shapes begin
778
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,280
to surface. [music]
779
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:20,639
Scary, unmistakable figures moving with
780
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,560
speed and intent. A group of mermaidlike
781
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:24,960
beings appears to be pursuing them
782
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:28,513
through the water, closing the distance
783
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:30,533
as panic sets in.
784
00:34:28,513 --> 00:34:30,533
>> [music]
785
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,639
>> What was once laughter is [music]
786
00:34:37,919 --> 00:34:42,560
replaced by fear as the realization hits
787
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:44,720
that the ocean doesn't always welcome
788
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,720
visitors and sometimes [music] it pushes
789
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:47,720
back.
790
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,960
In this clip, a fisherman reels in what
791
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,599
he believes is a massive catch. The line
792
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,760
is heavy, the struggle intense, and for
793
00:34:55,599 --> 00:35:00,640
a moment it feels like just another
794
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,560
story of landing a big fish. But when
795
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,520
whatever is on the line [music] finally
796
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,159
breaks the surface, it's clear this is
797
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,179
something far beyond his expectations.
798
00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:09,179
[music]
799
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,400
And here's where the story takes an
800
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,000
unexpected turn. Instead of holding on,
801
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,400
instead of trying to prove what he's
802
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,400
just seen, he makes a different choice.
803
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,040
He releases the creature back into the
804
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:40,920
water. Would you have done the same or
805
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,920
kept hold of the truth?
806
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:46,400
The next clip takes place along a quiet
807
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,280
shoreline late at night. From the dark
808
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:52,240
water, a mermaid slowly emerges, [music]
809
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:54,560
her eyes glowing as she inches closer,
810
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:57,594
seemingly curious about the world beyond
811
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,119
the waves. For a brief moment, it feels
812
00:35:57,594 --> 00:36:01,520
[music] as though she's testing the
813
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:03,520
boundary between sea and land. But
814
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,460
everything changes when she notices a
815
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,800
human standing on the shore, a torch
816
00:36:05,460 --> 00:36:09,040
[music] light cutting through the
817
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,960
darkness. The light hits her face, and
818
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,560
almost instantly she retreats, [music]
819
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,000
slipping back into the water and
820
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,240
disappearing from view.
821
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:21,680
>> Oh my god.
822
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:27,880
Are you easy? I'm just walking. Okay.
823
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:27,880
She's moving when I move. Back. Back up.
824
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,119
It's a moment that raises an important
825
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:36,560
thought. At night, the shoreline [music]
826
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:38,079
isn't just empty space. And sometimes a
827
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:43,079
simple light is the [music] only thing
828
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:43,079
standing between curiosity and danger.
829
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:49,119
Perhaps mermaids, like humans, are not
830
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:51,200
all the same. This clip shows the
831
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:53,200
possibility of different kinds, even
832
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,760
different ranks among them. The figure
833
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,839
seen here is covered in gold, almost
834
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,839
regal in appearance, as though she
835
00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:01,359
belongs to some form of underwater
836
00:36:59,839 --> 00:37:03,760
royalty.
837
00:37:01,359 --> 00:37:05,839
For a moment, the shimmer and elegance
838
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,720
distract from the reality of what she
839
00:37:05,839 --> 00:37:11,440
is. But that illusion doesn't last long.
840
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:13,680
The aggression remains. The sharp teeth
841
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:16,680
are still there. Unmistakable and
842
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,680
threatening.
843
00:37:17,359 --> 00:37:22,160
>> Keep those shoulders in. She's slippery
844
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,920
as hell. Rope slack. Get around the
845
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,920
tail. Kick it. Watch your legs. GOT IT.
846
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:30,079
PULL. KEEP THAT GAP ON HER. She's coming
847
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:32,160
out. Easy. Tire off. Hold. [music]
848
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:34,640
>> It's a stark reminder that appearance
849
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:37,280
doesn't equal safety. In the depths of
850
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:40,160
the ocean, beauty and danger may exist
851
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:43,320
side by side. and looks, as always, can
852
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,320
be deceiving.
853
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:49,520
This next clip captures pure panic in
854
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,520
real time. A man speeds across the water
855
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,359
in a small boat, trying desperately to
856
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,880
put distance between himself and
857
00:37:53,359 --> 00:37:56,640
whatever is behind him.
858
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,400
>> They're still BEHIND US. I SWEAR THEY'RE
859
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,400
BLOWING THE BOAT. YOU SEE THAT? LOOK,
860
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,560
LOOK back there. Push her. Give her more
861
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,880
throttle. Oh my god, they've got eyes
862
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,160
glowing. LOOK AT THE TEETH. HOLD ON.
863
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:10,560
>> THE ENGINE ROARS. The water blurs, but
864
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,240
the threat doesn't fade. As the camera
865
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:15,119
shakes, you can hear the fear in his
866
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:17,839
voice. His breathing is heavy, his words
867
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:19,599
rushed and unsteady. Behind him,
868
00:38:17,839 --> 00:38:22,720
disturbing shapes move through the
869
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:25,920
water, clearly giving chase. It's no
870
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:30,200
longer about curiosity or disbelief. In
871
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,200
this moment, it's about survival.
872
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:36,880
In this clip, a truly disturbing moment
873
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:39,119
unfolds. A frightening mermaid is seen
874
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,200
trapped in a fisherman's net on a boat,
875
00:38:39,119 --> 00:38:45,480
thrashing violently as she lets out a
876
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,480
scream that cuts through the air.
877
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:08,560
The sound is raw, unnatural, and
878
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,720
impossible to ignore. Her movements are
879
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,760
desperate, her expression filled with
880
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:16,079
panic and rage, leaving one unsettling
881
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:18,800
question hanging in the air. What
882
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:21,200
happens next? Will she escape back into
883
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:23,119
the depths? Or has this encounter sealed
884
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,119
the fate of a creature never meant to be
885
00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:26,119
captured?
886
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,280
In this clip, just on the riverbank, a
887
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,119
younger guy pointed his torch light on
888
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,079
the surface of the wear and what he saw
889
00:39:33,119 --> 00:39:36,640
terrified him.
890
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:41,119
>> Just slip tonight. Tide's turning. Let's
891
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:43,040
just check the pool. What the eyes?
892
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:46,079
Hello.
893
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:49,200
Is he there?
894
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:51,599
>> Whoa. Jesus.
895
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,760
>> Two shining eyes looking back at him. He
896
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:56,240
stood there out of shock. But as the
897
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,480
glowy eyes continued to come closer and
898
00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:02,599
closer, this mermaid gave him the
899
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,599
biggest scare of his life.
900
00:40:03,599 --> 00:40:08,240
Not all mermaids are scary. This clip
901
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:11,040
shows how colorful mermaids are with
902
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:12,880
their extremely long hair. The fisherman
903
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,200
caught her in their net. She seemed
904
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:18,079
subdued until she made a loud shout,
905
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:21,640
broke free, and jumped into the ocean
906
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:21,640
where she belonged.
907
00:40:37,839 --> 00:40:42,523
In this next clip, a diver captures
908
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,800
something completely unexpected deep in
909
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:45,800
[music] the water.
910
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:51,480
>> Oh god, they're everywhere.
911
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,518
At first glance, some called it a
912
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,079
vampire fish because of its gaunt
913
00:41:01,518 --> 00:41:06,560
[music] skeletal features, while others
914
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:09,280
whisper that mermaids age like humans,
915
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:13,079
skin and muscle fading over time,
916
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,079
revealing their bones.
917
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:18,400
This final eclipse brings everything to
918
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,319
a chilling close. A young man races with
919
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,240
his boat across the sea, fear written
920
00:41:20,319 --> 00:41:26,680
into every breath [music] as terrifying
921
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:26,680
creatures surge after his boat.
922
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:39,280
Their mouths are open, sharp teeth fully
923
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:41,280
exposed, and the sounds they make echo
924
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,160
across the surface in a way that feels
925
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,319
almost unreal. If this moment hadn't
926
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:49,333
been captured on camera, it would sound
927
00:41:46,319 --> 00:41:51,280
impossible to believe. Yet, here it is.
928
00:41:49,333 --> 00:41:53,599
[music] Proof that the ocean still holds
929
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:57,319
secrets we don't understand and perhaps
930
00:41:53,599 --> 00:41:57,319
were never meant to.
931
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,400
>> I got it.
932
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,720
>> No. No. Hold secret. LOOK AT THOSE
933
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,319
TEETH.
934
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:03,680
>> KEEP IT HEAD AWAY.
935
00:42:02,319 --> 00:42:05,359
>> IT'S COMING LOOSE. WATCH OUT.
936
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,440
>> NO.
937
00:42:05,359 --> 00:42:10,000
>> The ocean is starting to give up secrets
938
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,599
it kept buried for centuries. Fishermen
939
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,400
are pulling up things they can't
940
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:16,560
explain. Divers seeing faces where there
941
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,880
should be none. And cameras capturing
942
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,960
encounters that feel less like myth and
943
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:23,520
more like a warning. These aren't old
944
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,760
legends or campfire stories. They're
945
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,324
real moments caught on tape. Moments
946
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,079
that suggest something intelligent,
947
00:42:27,324 --> 00:42:30,720
[music]
948
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:33,760
territorial, and disturbingly close is
949
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:35,680
moving beneath the water. Watch closely
950
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,200
because once you see this, the ocean
951
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,200
won't feel the same again.
952
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:43,880
>> What's that tail? [laughter]
953
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,880
Keep it tight. Get the gap in.
954
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,800
>> This footage wastes no time [music]
955
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,119
easing you in. Filmed from a boat
956
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,800
battling roaring waves on the open sea.
957
00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:55,760
The camera catches something rising
958
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:57,359
between the swells. For a split second,
959
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,440
a fish-like body [music] breaks the
960
00:42:57,359 --> 00:43:02,319
surface, but with unmistakably human
961
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:06,839
arms. Then it reacts, diving [music]
962
00:43:02,319 --> 00:43:06,839
straight back into the churning water.
963
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,560
The footage spread fast, [music]
964
00:43:16,079 --> 00:43:20,880
splitting viewers instantly. Some call
965
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:23,119
it a hoax. Others point to the fluid
966
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,880
motion, the speed, the [music] control.
967
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:28,520
Whatever surfaced that moment didn't
968
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,520
move like a trick.
969
00:43:29,839 --> 00:43:34,319
What follows is far more disturbing.
970
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,400
Captured in the dead of night on open
971
00:43:34,319 --> 00:43:38,640
water, the footage shows a creature
972
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:41,440
erupting near the boat. Nothing like the
973
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:44,400
graceful mermaids of legend. Its head
974
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:47,520
looks almost jaguar-like, jaws wide,
975
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:50,800
teeth long, and razor sharp, attached to
976
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:53,200
a scaled fish-like body. The moment it
977
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,680
surfaces, it lunges aggressively,
978
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:59,520
forcing the boat to pull away fast.
979
00:43:55,680 --> 00:44:02,520
>> Oh my god. What the hell is that?
980
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,520
Jesus.
981
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:08,079
Back off. Go.
982
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,560
>> Some insist [music] it's AI. Others
983
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:12,319
aren't so sure. If this is even close to
984
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:17,240
real, it may be one of the most
985
00:44:12,319 --> 00:44:17,240
unsettling sea encounters ever recorded.
986
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:23,359
This next clip raises the tension even
987
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,520
higher. Captured by a shipmounted
988
00:44:23,359 --> 00:44:28,160
camera, it shows a strange greenish
989
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,160
creature surfacing suddenly. Its body
990
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:33,280
fish-like, but with clearly defined
991
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:35,920
human arms. As it turns, sharp chiseled
992
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,920
fangs come into view along with eerie
993
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:40,720
lemon colored eyes that seem to lock
994
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:43,119
onto the lens.
995
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:45,359
>> Oh my god. What is
996
00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:47,550
that?
997
00:44:45,359 --> 00:44:47,550
Jesus. [laughter]
998
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,319
Whoa. SHE'S IN THE WATER. WATCH OUT.
999
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:56,720
>> TEARING THE NET. LOOK HERE.
1000
00:44:54,319 --> 00:44:59,440
Without hesitation, it charges straight
1001
00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:02,880
at the camera, face fully visible before
1002
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:05,040
plunging back beneath the water. CGI or
1003
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:09,960
something else entirely. Whatever it
1004
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,960
was, that moment feels dangerously real.
1005
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,839
This next clip feels chaotic from the
1006
00:45:13,359 --> 00:45:17,599
very first second. Two men are seen
1007
00:45:15,839 --> 00:45:20,319
struggling to restrain a fish-like
1008
00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:23,680
creature with unmistakably human arms.
1009
00:45:20,319 --> 00:45:26,240
It thrashes violently, muscles tensing,
1010
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,079
strength far beyond what they expected.
1011
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:30,000
Within moments, it breaks free from
1012
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:32,240
their grip, twisting toward the water
1013
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,280
with desperate force.
1014
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:35,119
>> God, it's strong.
1015
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,000
>> Grab the tails. GRAB AH, IT'S SLIPPING.
1016
00:45:35,119 --> 00:45:38,240
>> I GOT IT.
1017
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,839
>> NO. NO. HOLY JESUS. Look at THOSE TEETH.
1018
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:41,280
>> KEEP IT AWAY.
1019
00:45:39,839 --> 00:45:43,280
>> IT'S COMING LOOSE. WATCH OUT.
1020
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,640
>> NO.
1021
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,640
HOLY.
1022
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,880
>> The camera shakes as it tries to lunge
1023
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:51,680
back toward the ocean. Was this a
1024
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:54,079
mermaid? some alien hybrid or a species
1025
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,079
we don't have a name for yet. Whatever
1026
00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:59,079
it was, it clearly didn't want to be
1027
00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:59,079
captured.
1028
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:05,760
What happens next looks even harder to
1029
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:08,480
control. This time, three men struggle
1030
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:10,960
to pin down a wild fish human creature.
1031
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:13,440
Its slick body twisting violently as it
1032
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:16,000
fights back. For a brief moment, it
1033
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,240
looks restrained. Then it surges with
1034
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,319
sudden strength, ripping free from their
1035
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:23,440
grasp and launching itself straight back
1036
00:46:20,319 --> 00:46:26,440
into the water. The splash is explosive.
1037
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,440
Final
1038
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,079
viewers were left stunned. That kind of
1039
00:46:36,319 --> 00:46:41,119
power doesn't come from desperation
1040
00:46:38,079 --> 00:46:43,040
alone. Could this really be a mermaid or
1041
00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:44,742
something far more dangerous trying to
1042
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,762
escape?
1043
00:46:44,742 --> 00:46:46,762
>> [music]
1044
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:51,280
>> This next clip pulls us far beneath the
1045
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:53,520
surface. Said to be captured by a
1046
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,520
submarine camera deep underwater, the
1047
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,839
footage shows a massive figure drifting
1048
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:00,560
into view from the darkness. Its head
1049
00:46:57,839 --> 00:47:03,359
appears oversized with a broad nose and
1050
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:05,520
wide mouth attached to a long fishlike
1051
00:47:03,359 --> 00:47:08,520
body that moves with slow deliberate
1052
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,520
control.
1053
00:47:20,319 --> 00:47:25,359
The scale alone is unsettling. Since
1054
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:28,800
surfacing online, the clip has sparked
1055
00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:30,800
intense debate. Some call it fabricated.
1056
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,520
Others wonder how something that large
1057
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:37,319
could exist unnoticed, unless it was
1058
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,319
never meant to be found.
1059
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:43,280
This next video is kind of blurred, but
1060
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:44,880
that almost makes it worse. Captured by
1061
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,040
fishermen, [music] it shows a fish-like
1062
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:49,359
shape gliding beneath the water,
1063
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:52,520
twisting unnaturally before slipping out
1064
00:47:49,359 --> 00:47:52,520
of view.
1065
00:47:54,828 --> 00:47:56,848
[music]
1066
00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:04,800
And this is where old [music] stories
1067
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,800
resurface. Ancient sailors whispered of
1068
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:10,319
sirens, beings that shimmerred under
1069
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:12,960
moonlight and lured ships to ruin. Now
1070
00:48:10,319 --> 00:48:15,280
with cameras and sonar, similar shapes
1071
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:18,000
are appearing again. So the question is
1072
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:20,480
chilling. Are these modern sightings the
1073
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
same entities sailors once feared,
1074
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:25,000
finally [music] returning to the
1075
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000
surface?
1076
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:30,319
What [music] comes next is far more
1077
00:48:27,839 --> 00:48:32,640
gripping. Filmed at night, the footage
1078
00:48:30,319 --> 00:48:35,280
appears to show two mermaidlike figures
1079
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:37,839
circling and striking a boat. Not in
1080
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,839
panic, but with intent. Their movements
1081
00:48:37,839 --> 00:48:42,400
feel coordinated, almost [music]
1082
00:48:39,839 --> 00:48:46,040
defensive, as if the vessel crossed into
1083
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,040
forbidden territory.
1084
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,920
The authenticity of the video is heavily
1085
00:48:56,079 --> 00:49:00,640
debated, yet the [music] aggression on
1086
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:03,280
display unsettles even skeptics. If this
1087
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:06,319
clip is real, it reveals a side rarely
1088
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:11,000
imagined. Territorial, dominant, and
1089
00:49:06,319 --> 00:49:11,000
unwilling to be disturbed in its domain.
1090
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:17,280
This next video starts deceptively
1091
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:19,324
simple. A man films what he believes is
1092
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,680
just a fish caught near the surface.
1093
00:49:19,324 --> 00:49:24,240
[music] But as the camera gets closer,
1094
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:26,800
everything changes. The creature has a
1095
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:29,359
disturbingly humanlike head, eyes that
1096
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:34,040
seem aware, and a mouth lined with teeth
1097
00:49:29,359 --> 00:49:34,040
that don't belong to any known species.
1098
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,480
Okay.
1099
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:52,319
It thrashes violently, clearly
1100
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:54,480
struggling to escape. Viewers were left
1101
00:49:52,319 --> 00:49:56,800
stunned. What kind of creature looks
1102
00:49:54,480 --> 00:50:01,160
part human, part fish, yet doesn't fit
1103
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,160
anything science has ever documented.
1104
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:07,440
Now, this clip feels almost unreal. A
1105
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,119
man is seen holding a strange creature
1106
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,920
that looks like it stepped straight out
1107
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:14,800
of an Aquaman movie. Its scales shimmer
1108
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:17,359
in patterns unlike any known fish. Its
1109
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:20,640
arms look unmistakably human and its
1110
00:50:17,359 --> 00:50:23,119
head appears riged, almost crownlike in
1111
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:25,040
shape.
1112
00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:26,000
>> Lord about what in the hell are you?
1113
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,599
>> It's still breathing.
1114
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,680
>> Gills are moving. Look at the tail.
1115
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:30,240
>> Ocean's flat as glass, Cap. Gives me the
1116
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,280
creeps.
1117
00:50:30,240 --> 00:50:32,559
>> Yeah, me too.
1118
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,760
>> The creature squirms [music]
1119
00:50:32,559 --> 00:50:38,000
weakly, clearly alive. Online debate
1120
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:40,000
erupted instantly. Some call it an
1121
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:42,480
elaborate prop. Others can't [music]
1122
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,559
ignore the details. If this isn't
1123
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:48,520
fiction, then what exactly was pulled
1124
00:50:44,559 --> 00:50:48,520
from the water that day?
1125
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:55,119
The next clip turns a quiet fishing trip
1126
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:57,839
into pure terror. A man reels in his
1127
00:50:55,119 --> 00:50:59,680
line, expecting a normal catch when
1128
00:50:57,839 --> 00:51:02,815
something explodes from the water
1129
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,800
instead. A terrifying mermaidlike figure
1130
00:51:02,815 --> 00:51:06,960
[music] surges toward his boat,
1131
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:10,119
thrashing violently and nearly flipping
1132
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,119
it over.
1133
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,440
Hold it tight.
1134
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:20,920
>> She's slipping.
1135
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,920
>> Watch the tail.
1136
00:51:21,119 --> 00:51:22,640
>> Throughout the
1137
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,559
>> Don't let go.
1138
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:27,119
>> The camera shakes as he scrambles to
1139
00:51:24,559 --> 00:51:29,440
pull back. Many online dismiss it as
1140
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:32,720
fake, but others point to the raw panic
1141
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:35,200
and chaotic movement. If this was real,
1142
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:39,359
he didn't just hook a fish. He provoked
1143
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,359
something that didn't want to be caught.
1144
00:51:40,559 --> 00:51:45,280
This next clip plunges straight into
1145
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,880
chaos. Three men struggle to restrain a
1146
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:49,520
violent [music] fish-like creature with
1147
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:52,160
unmistakably human arms. One even
1148
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,920
gripping a crowbar in desperation. The
1149
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,870
creature thrashes with shocking
1150
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,680
strength, twisting free despite their
1151
00:51:55,870 --> 00:51:59,760
[music] combined effort. In a sudden
1152
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,440
burst, it tears away and dives back into
1153
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:04,440
the sea, disappearing beneath the
1154
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,440
surface.
1155
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:16,480
The footage ignited fierce debate
1156
00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:18,559
online. Some call it staged. [music]
1157
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,880
Others can't ignore the raw panic and
1158
00:52:18,559 --> 00:52:24,839
power on display. If this were real,
1159
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,839
they never stood [music] a chance.
1160
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:30,000
What follows feels less like an
1161
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:32,079
encounter and more like a battle. The
1162
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,640
footage shows dozens of terrifying
1163
00:52:32,079 --> 00:52:36,880
figures erupting from the water, chasing
1164
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:39,680
a speeding boat as if it crossed into
1165
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:43,119
forbidden territory. Their movements are
1166
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:46,400
fast, coordinated, relentless, almost
1167
00:52:43,119 --> 00:52:48,880
military. It looks less like chaos and
1168
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:52,400
more like defense, as if an underwater
1169
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:55,200
kingdom were responding to an intrusion.
1170
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:57,040
>> Right on us. No, no, no. Punch it.
1171
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,040
>> Oh my god, look at HIS TEETH. HOLD ON,
1172
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:01,119
>> BASTARD. THEY'RE GAINING. JESUS. Get
1173
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,760
them OFF US. LEFT SIDE. LEFT SIDE. Keep
1174
00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:02,880
it floored.
1175
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,240
>> Don't steady anything. THEY SWELL.
1176
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,960
>> THEY'RE STILL THERE. GOD, THEY'RE STILL
1177
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:06,880
THERE.
1178
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:09,520
>> WE'RE OUT RUNNING THEM. KEEP IT UP.
1179
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:12,319
>> Many dismiss it as CGI, but the scale
1180
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:14,559
and aggression leave others uneasy. If
1181
00:53:12,319 --> 00:53:18,760
this were real, it suggests the ocean
1182
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:18,760
isn't empty. It's guarded.
1183
00:53:20,559 --> 00:53:25,040
The next clip is strange in a completely
1184
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,040
different way. Instead of chaos or
1185
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:29,040
violence, it shows what appears to be a
1186
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:33,040
mermaid calmly inside a boat with
1187
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:37,480
humans. No struggle, PR, fear, just
1188
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,480
quiet, unsettling stillness.
1189
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,359
This contrasts [music] sharply with
1190
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:52,160
other footage where these beings attack
1191
00:53:49,359 --> 00:53:54,480
or flee. Some believe this shows a
1192
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:57,280
peaceful [music] side rarely discussed.
1193
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:59,680
Others insist it must be staged. But if
1194
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:02,319
it's real, it raises an uncomfortable
1195
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:04,800
question. Are these creatures always
1196
00:54:02,319 --> 00:54:08,359
hostile, or are we only seeing them when
1197
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,359
things go wrong?
1198
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:14,400
What comes next is even more disturbing.
1199
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,559
Captured by fishermen, the footage shows
1200
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,200
a gray white face emerging from the
1201
00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:21,680
water. Its eyes unnaturally large and
1202
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:24,319
fixed with eerie awareness. But unlike
1203
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:27,119
other encounters, this being has no
1204
00:54:24,319 --> 00:54:29,839
visible arms, only a powerful fish tail
1205
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:32,000
thrashing as it struggles to escape. Its
1206
00:54:29,839 --> 00:54:35,000
movement feels frantic, almost
1207
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
desperate.
1208
00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:40,599
Viewers
1209
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,760
were left unsettled by how different it
1210
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:50,480
looked from every other clip. Was this
1211
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,480
another variation of the same species or
1212
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:55,640
something else entirely hiding beneath
1213
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,640
the waves?
1214
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:01,520
This clip may be the most terrifying
1215
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:03,680
yet. It shows a gray human fish-like
1216
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:05,760
creature violently trapped inside a
1217
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:08,240
fishing [music] net on a boat, thrashing
1218
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,240
as it knows it's been caught. Its
1219
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:11,280
movements are desperate, almost
1220
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:13,280
intelligent, [music]
1221
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:16,400
pulling and twisting with frightening
1222
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:18,640
force. The footage cuts as the fishermen
1223
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:20,800
shout in panic.
1224
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,880
>> She's rolling, NOT SLIPPING.
1225
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,800
>> WHAT'S THAT TAIL?
1226
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,400
>> Keep it tight. GET THE GAP IN.
1227
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:28,559
>> I GOT IT. I GOT IT. TAIL.
1228
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:32,000
>> SHE'S looking right at it. Many online
1229
00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:35,200
insist it's AI or staged. Others argue
1230
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:37,200
the raw struggle feels too real to fake.
1231
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,119
If this was genuine, then something
1232
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:42,760
mysterious beneath the ocean was
1233
00:55:39,119 --> 00:55:42,760
captured on camera.
1234
00:55:43,839 --> 00:55:48,480
What follows is deeply unsettling.
1235
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:51,200
Captured aboard a fishing boat, the
1236
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:53,520
footage shows a sea green mermaidlike
1237
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:56,400
figure thrashing violently near the
1238
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:58,880
deck. Its skin glistens under harsh
1239
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:01,680
lights as it releases loud, piercing
1240
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:05,000
noises. Sounds that don't resemble any
1241
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,000
known animal.
1242
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:10,520
Hold it down.
1243
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:10,520
>> Looking right at us now.
1244
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:15,359
>> Some believe it was calling for help.
1245
00:56:13,119 --> 00:56:17,280
Others think it was issuing a warning or
1246
00:56:15,359 --> 00:56:19,920
trying to terrify the fishermen into
1247
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:23,520
letting it go. The panic in the voices
1248
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:25,280
feels real. If this wasn't staged, then
1249
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,760
that sound wasn't random, but
1250
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,760
intentional.
