mermaid pill  i am looking for evidence of mermaids. this is a political thread. while /x is a cryptid board i feel the answers can be found on /pol and we can all benefit from the shared knowledge. the reason i come to /pol is because rural white americans are the most likely to have seen.. things.. and are the best ppl to reach out to for information. remember supernatural? hunters? all rural people.  someone on pol made a cryptid thread a few days ago and someone began talking about mermaids saying they had seen them in cape fear.  i was surpsised to learn its right here on the east coast. google search of the river led me to a perculiar spot. one labeled "mermaid point". i read about the area and apparently long ago confederate soldiers had seen a mermaid there on the beach.  i followed the river to a large lake and looked up what i can find about the lake. lots and lots of drownings... the person who mentioned them said they evil. they drown people and that they were not reptilian but amphibian.  i tried to get more information online and too my surprise, the best lorekeepers i found were hatian black women. apparently hatians absolutely believe in mermaids and they have many of the same common tropes found in other cultures. they can steal your voice.  according to another source, mermaids were fallen angels who became water demons. personally i believe like most half human cryptids, they are a product of hybridization. like dogman or minotaur. i think some human fucked a dolphin or eel in our millions of years of evolution and nature just found away. strong swimmers, idk.  but apparently there is some mystical element to them. the vikings believed in them too. i find it hard to believe that all these accounts were just horny sailors seeing a manatee. theres an hp lovecraft book that deep dives into the subject. shadow over innsmouth. theres a movie about it called dagon. i watched it to learn what i can find. apparently mermaids are worshipped by cults all over.
