[runlikehell]

Dominic Waghorn, Middle East correspondent
Israel is in the grips of mermaid fever after numerous sightings of the mythical sea creature off its coast.

One town council is taking the reports so seriously it is offering a $1m (£609,000) reward to anyone who can prove the existence of a mermaid in its waters.

Kiryat Yam municipality, near Haifa, says it has been told of dozens of sightings in the past few months.

They say it is a female figure, it looks like a young girl.

Council spokesman Natti Zilberman

"Many people are telling us they are sure they've seen a mermaid and they are all independent of each other," council spokesman Natti Zilberman told Sky News.

The nautical nymph is only seen in the evening at sunset, according to media reports, drawing crowds of people with cameras hoping for a glimpse.

"People say it is half girl, half fish, jumping like a dolphin. It does all kinds of tricks then disappears," Mr Zilberman said.

Asked whether a dolphin or large fish could be a more rational explanation, he insisted: "They say it is a female figure, it looks like a young girl."

The council denied its offer of a reward was a publicity stunt, but said it hoped to nurture the mermaid as something which could bring in more tourists.

Capturing a mermaid is not necessary, a verifiable photograph will do, Mr Zilberman said.

Asked if the council can afford the payout, he told Sky News: "I believe, if there really is a mermaid, then so many people and tourists will come to Kiryat Yam, a lot more money will be made than a $1m.

very interesting, i wonder what's going on down there!

[runlikehell]

If it turned out to be real, and someone was out there with a half decent boat and equipment, would it be possable to track it with a radar or sonar see where it go's?

[simmo]

I suspect it's some sort of astral creature popping into our realm for a quick jaunt at just the perfect time of day.

Mermaid definately. Once a month for three to five days she isn't as playful and has been known to get a quite tetchy with locals.

[arc_angel]

That particular report - (don`t know if there are others) is from a Sky news Page.

Surely enough said?

a lot more money will be made than a $1m.

That is one scary looking mermaid from the waistdown. Looks like she suffered a napalm attack.

I believe this could have been a real sighting report, the men describing exactly what they saw.

But like Bigfoot, Mothman etc just 'the jokers' having a laugh at us again. I am sure Keel was right.

[transcendental stallion]

This is a tourism trick by israel.

I hope we get the photo that proves it.:) A newspaper has put up a reward for a genuine photo. i just hope that idiots like those islanders who killed the Benbecula mermaid don't show up. I know that was 200 years ago, but we can be just as moronic today:(.

though these days you could get done padeophilia .. lurking around a school of merkids like that with your trench coat, seedy look in your eye and your camera
lol

[bobbydiva]

They are pushing lots of odd things in the news lately. Aliens, mermaids etc
I'm going to keep tabs on this.

Who knows, the next false flag could be an invasion of mermaids from mars.

[metacomet]

mermaid or merman?

Awesome!

Yes totaly agree Hagbard!

Surly if somthing like this was proved to exist it would be right on the endangered species or on their own protected creatures list

Photograhic evidence or video footage is more then enough no need to capture the creature, unless it gives it's self over voluntary

[romas]

Come guys, we've got mermaids, come on you stupid tourists, mermaids > giza pyramids!

[frase]

Freaking hell-Do Mermaids exist? For real?!!!!!!
Does anyone have any links to pics or sightings etc?
This site is so fucking cool sometimes!!

[decim]

I have fish fingers, do they count.

[hitithard]

mmm fish fingers chips and beans, they count ;-)

[kriss_crow]

the whole story reminds my the movie - the lady in the water
Watch it if you never seen it.

I fear that if mermaids exist then the last few might be choking to death on some oil slick or chemical spill, or trapped in an abandoned fishing net.:(:(
