The Peninsula. reports that locals in the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam, have been gathering to glimpse an alleged mermaid. The "mermaid" only appears at sunset, performas a few tricks, then vanishes.One of the first people to see the mermaid, Shlomo Cohen, said, “I was with friends when suddenly we saw a woman laying on the sand in a weird way. At first I thought she was just another sunbather, but when we approached she jumped into the water and disappeared. We were all in shock because we saw she had a tail.”
The sightings apparently began several months ago.
