I’m African and my mom use to tell us about “water people” when I was a child. People in Africa don’t go to the beach at night or alone. There is this story of several missing young girls in a village in Africa. I feel like there is a lot of truth to this story otherwise my mom wouldn’t have told me stories about “water people” when I was a child. Crazy scary.

I respect him so much for being so incredibly understanding and respectful of other people's cultures and beliefs

I remember when I was about 13 years old, my family and I were on the beach and we had a lot of fun there. It wasn’t until my friend and I thought it was a good idea to swim farther away from everyone so we can both chill. I eventually agreed so we swam away from other people with those floaty things of our own. I remember saying
“ This float thing is so annoying “
And then she said
“ Try to place it in your stomach and just let it float you “
I put the small float on my stomach and the next thing I knew I fell of.
I didn’t know how to swim so I struggled.
I fell deep and closed my eyes cause I was praying someone would save me. I then felt a hand on my arms and thought my friend came down to save me. I was wrong. When I opened my eyes, I saw a girl with black hair, big dark eyes and extremely pale skin holding my arms. I saw her legs was like a tail of a fish and I was so scared I almost had an heart attack.

She didn’t say anything but swam up to the surface. That’s when I saw my friend’s feet dangling below.
The mermaid girl pushed me up top and I was back at my float thingy.
My friend was relief I was able to swim up but she didn’t know a weird mermaid creature saved me.

After that day, I told her what happened.
She eventually believed me because she knew very well I didn’t take swimming class and I didn’t know how to swim. She also mentioned that after I fell off my float thingy, she called out for help and before anyone that knew how to swim came, I came back up and she saw something behind me swim away but she didn’t mentioned it because she was more glad I was okay.

To this day, we both believed mermaids or merman are real.
We would still go to the beach but I never saw the mermaid anymore.

( thanks for listening to my story )

my native elders always told stories about different kinds of creatures, entities on our lands and deep in our oceans. we respect them whatever they may be.

This is the first time I heard someone talk about the water mama. I recognized the way she talks then realized she is Guyanese. She has a great resemblance of my grand mother. My grand mother told us stories about the water mama and her experiences with it. She gave us a description of a hairy monster with red eyes. She said it is a spirit that materializes. One other person told me about their experience with the water mama in the same location that my grand mother had her experience. Its kind of hard to believe their stories but who saw it knows. Similarly, the famous old higue. When I was about twenty years old I saw an old higue. My husband and I were going home and he said to me "you want to see an old higue?" and I jokingly said yes, since the saying goes: its a ball of fire that flies. Like come on a ball of fire? where is the fuel coming from? whats maintaining the flame and how on earth can it fly? So he said to me look over the river and to my amazement I saw a ball of fire flying. It was a ball of fire! But you can see through it and it looked as if it had wings but it was the fire shaped like wings and it was flying even with the tree tops. But cars were passing under it and i wondered if the persons in were not seeing it.

People here in the comments saying something about a twitter thingy.
Me over here having no clue what their talking about.

She's Guyanese and stories such as those are real. There are many creatures and animals that are unheard of in western countries that lives/exist in different parts of Guyana.

I remember seeing something in the sea back in 2011, Jamaica, it was late one night i was still at the beach, no one else, not even fisherman and i saw some strange bright white lights move around the sky in front of me then transcended onto the surface of the sea, so fast, it was nothing earthly, but not having enlightened myself back then or knowing about life amongst us other than humans and outside of earth, i didnt know what to make of it. Anyway these lights went from left to right and all around faster then the speed of light and i saw this white smoky skull with luminous eyes appear straight ahead of me on top of the water, the build of of it was humanoid and i just remember i froze i was in awe of it and i never spoke of it since especially as it conflicts with the illusion that most people are living, but since that and learning of other encounters, whether it be out of the sky or from the sea, i do feel to speak about it. Its strange, to alot of countries like Jamaica its no big thing knowing river mummas mermaids alien reptilians in the sea exist, here in the uk its very fascinating almost like a fantasy to majority. I 100%know that this woman is right about her husband being taken. People must wake up.

[oopsiedaisy]

Maybe he wasn't just going to swim, maybe he was loured

[sava]

Given the fact that so many communities (all over the world) who traditionally live near water bodies have almost similar stories of humanoid creatures with fish tails... I dare say mermaids exist!!!

[collinsmudimbu]

It has just come out in the Masvingo province of Zimbabwe in Africa there is an old woman who can talk to mermaids and bring back those were taken by mermaids. She is said to have brought back some 3 individuals who taken by mermaids some many years ago.

I'm African and everyone around me whenever I would go to the coastal region everyone would tell me not to go to the beach at night or even worse... past three a.m. they always said something was always calling out to you during theses times... water people. They also told me if you slept at night and woke up the next morning at the sea shore and don't have a history of sleepwalking... you're marked. Each and every story has an origin, a forgotten image but it's d3sctiptiin passed down with words

[blackmambablackwidow]

I believe her story but other people might think her story didn't match she's telling the truth.

My theory: The mermaids were once hunted by humans until the last of their kind had found a way to avoid their "predators". They lived in the depths of the oceans only coming up in the shallows once in a blue moon. In the long centuries, they weren't disturbed, the only ones left of their species are the strong ones that are able to withstand the environmental changes. And now, they take the title of "predators". And we are the prey.

When I was 8 years old I went to the beach. My parents werent paying much attention to me in the water. Than a giant wave came and it shoved me into the rocks, I had my eyes open and saw a lady, with a fish tail who had pushed me above water and than disappeared. I didn’t tell my mum what I saw though cause I’m an idiot but I knew what I saw and I know I will see her again at some point

Here in Philippines there are some cases like this. Many people dies in river. Some who lives after drowning says there is something in the river who pulled their feet. Shaman says there are spirit who protect the river and the forest. They dont want to be disturb. You need to give respect to the nature or offering them some foods or coins. There are so many enchanted places here. The number 1 is Biringan city. Biringan city is existed not in the physical world, but in spiritual. The kingdom of other dimesion

We are not only the living human being on earth

[drneddymakonza]

Mermaids could be real because the description of them is the same across e globe....Unless our ancestors in Africa usee to tell tales to other tribes in e East

[axe]

so far only 5% of the ocean is explored ...we dont know what lies deep down !

[nmahangu]

from Guyana 🇬🇾.. lived in ocean view three blocks from the Atlantic Ocean by the sea wall .. parents used to say never go to the wall at night since mermaids sit on the wall and drag you down to the bottom of the ocean .. and this was 40 years ago before Ariel and Sebastian ..
