Mermaid on the shore: a discovery that stirred up the internet

In March 2025, on the quiet coast of Margate (Kent County, United Kingdom), a couple went for their usual morning walk and returned with a story worthy of a Netflix documentary. At the shore, they found... a mermaid. Or something that looks very much like one.
👁 What exactly was discovered?
Paula Regan and her husband initially thought it was a beached seal or a tree. But upon closer inspection, they froze:
-
A head with empty eye sockets, pointed ears, no hair or nose.
-
The body transitioned into a fin with scales, soft to the touch but not slimy.
-
The overall impression - something between a skeleton and a sea creature.
The figure looked frighteningly realistic. Without the smell of decomposition, with anatomically precise details.
❓ Why did they think it was a mermaid?
-
Characteristic tail with fin
-
Body structure - a hybrid of human and fish
-
Surprisingly natural materials - as if it's not a model, but a real creature
-
The strangest thing - the figure was wet, as if it had just come out of the water
🔍 Theories of origin
Experts remain silent, but internet users and locals are actively building theories:
-
"Fiji Mermaid 2.0" - skillfully assembled exhibit made of bones, skin, and fish
-
Modern art - an art object washed ashore or deliberately planted
-
Secret biological experiments
-
Marine mysticism - supporters of the supernatural believe: this is a sign
🌐 The internet is shocked
Photos of the find spread across social media within hours, generating memes, theories, TikTok videos, and dozens of articles. Some are asking scientists to urgently analyze the tissues, while others claim they've seen something similar in Japan.
⚓ Conclusion
The Margate coast mermaid is not just a strange find. It's a symbol of how myths penetrate reality, making us believe in the impossible again. While scientists remain silent, the internet is buzzing. Which means - the mystery lives on.
🧜♀️ "We made eye contact." Interviews with witnesses of the mysterious mermaid
After the appearance of the mysterious "mermaid" off the coast of Great Britain, our editorial office began receiving messages from people claiming they not only saw the creature but also made eye contact with it. We spoke with some of them.
👤 Sophie West, 32, artist:
"I was walking on the beach early in the morning. There was fog, no one around. And then - movement in the water. At first I thought it was a seal. But when the figure rose above the surface, I saw the eyes. So... deep. As if looking through you. My hands were shaking. I couldn't scream or take a photo. She just looked. Then disappeared. I'm not even sure if it was real."
👤 Jason Miller, 54, fisherman:
"This might sound like nonsense, but... I heard her singing. The melody came from the water. No wind, no people. Just singing. And you know, it wasn't creepy - it was beautiful. Gave me goosebumps. I came home and didn't go out on my boat for two days. Strange feeling, like someone was watching."
