For thousands of years, tales of mermaids have drifted across cultures and coastlines—part myth, part memory, and maybe… something more.
In this episode of Paranormally, we dive deep into the murky origins of mermaid lore, from ancient goddesses like Atargatis to the eerie river spirits of South Africa. You’ll hear real-life sightings—yes, including the time Christopher Columbus claimed to see three—and explore the chilling 2009 mystery of the Kiryat Yam mermaid, whose legend was so convincing, the town offered a million-dollar reward for proof.
Are mermaids cryptids, spirits, or forgotten truths from a submerged world?
Are they watching us from the waves?
Prepare for mythology, mystery, and modern-day mermaid encounters that might just change how you see the sea.
Because when the ocean calls… it’s never just the wind.
