I don't know if this is the right place to post this terrifying experience. I travelled home (to Nigeria) last month. My cousins told me mermaids had been spotted at the village stream (iyi) numerous times, and the elders had decided people should stop going to the stream. They were literally shaking. I laughed in their faces. Mermaids? Were they sure? I told them off for being idiots and they shook their heads,

On December 24th we were supposed to go watch football. After I waited for them in front of our compound, I thought perhaps they had gone to the stream. I began walking there. As I approached I heard the sound of voices, like people jumping in the water and shouting for joy. I said to myself, "See these boys oh. So na here dem come to enjoy with their babes."

When I emerged on the water, my head began to swell. I mean literally. I saw a woman with reddish skin lying on her back on the bank, her legs raised. A good looking man with a band of cowries around his wrist was on top of her moving his hips powerfully between her thighs. They saw me. Stopped. They looked at me. I just stood there as if a giant hand pressed me to the spot.

Then they slipped quietly into the water, and submerged themselves, completely disappeared. I'm not ashamed to say I ran from that place screaming like a girl.

Some people have suggested I go for cleansing. But apart from some nightmares, I feel okay.

But damn! It's the most bizarre experience of my life!!!!!!

Anyone have a similar experience?

tianshie:


They were structurally similar to humans.

dawnomike:
I quite believe your story cos I've also seen stuffs no one would ever believe... I later came to a conclusion that there are beings we have no business poke nosing into their worlds!

Jones8:



In other words, what ever was carrying their upper body was inside the water.

mm! I wish I was the one who saw them. Curious though.

Where which location in 9ja, I'd love to visit such area in the nearest future??

Harry00:
I've been hearing of marmaid,
I don't believe it

Are You Sure On What You Saw?

LilMissFavvy:
If this happened in her room, people would have said her imaginations played her. If they were humans why didn't they pick their clothes to cover their bodies? They rather dived into water. I only have one advice for you OP, don't go for any cleansing. Cleansing is a local way to summon or appease demons, beware. Go to a good deliverance church for prayers/deliverance.

tianshie:

Mbaise. In Imo State.

Jones8:



I hope the people are friendly with outsiders?

tianshie:


As far as I know. They don't eat humans like I hear they do in Ugep, Okrika and Ngwa.

tianshie:


Mbaise. In Imo State.

psalmsmiles:
I believe you OP. As an African man, i believe that such creatures exists! The whites have taken away our beliefs and culture away from us and left us in between no where.
Tag me foolish or uncivilized but i still believe that spirits, ghosts, re-incarnation, mermaids, gods and magic exists.
It is what my fathers before me believed. It is my heritage!

tianshie:


I can't reconcile these two things. That's what I heard, and those two were who I saw.

ericuzor:
I thought mermaid have fish tail but the woman you saw has human legs but red skin and the merman you saw has a good manly built but no fish tail

kingrhirhs:
Pls what is the name of your village & state where you saw the his marmaid & her lover. So that some of us can go & see them too or set up a carmera and observe. This is 21st century you don't just see things for yourself only. Let broadcast it. It will promote tourism.

Ladylite:
Here in Pretoria, as recent as 2017 I saw a goblin close to the zoo forest and it was running deeper into the forest so we all scattered running.

We have mermaids here in S.A but they usually hunt men

Jman06:
This op and his fallacious posts! And some people still believed him!

You can hide secretly in other people's brains but not in mine! For I'm an intelligent being with a sixth sense!!!

tianshie:


Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it.

Dont get carried away.... For your sixth sense is useless

Lol l had to leave this: Most 'deliverance/prayer churches' are actually demon centers...centers for contracting 'demons'. It's an irony. We Nigerians are desperate as you already know.


Fear works 'wonders' as well sir, at least you could see from the symptoms...
A wise man once said something in the lines of "not running away from your demons. Seat them down, serve them some drinks and have a chat...ask them about how they got the terrifying scars on their faces..."

...a child picks a snake, and it doesn't harm it...you pick same and get bitten...difference is a thing known as 'Fear'. Technically fear tears open a protective 'sono-bioelectrogravitic' sheat surrounding every living thing, it's also known as 'aura'. There are indeed living things beyond our scope of vision. Some are malevolent who look for people having there auras messed up by fear and worry. The snake too detected the unpleasant aura and bit the person.

In matters of this nature (fear), just know your are Soul, Indestructable even by the devil himself, and that whatever happens, you will always exist, for death itself is a falsehood! What this statement means is: If someone dies for instance, the person still maintains his consciousness, opinion etc. After all, these things are not stored or located in the physically body they just left behind. Most times, they are relieved at it. After you grasp this, you can approach life as an explorer; for wherever you may be, you are always home!
