Are you kidding me? OF COURSE MERMAIDS EXIST! Actually if you want to be convinced or are willing to be, it should be quite an easy concept to understand. OK, people evolved over the years into what we are to day but originally we came from the seas. So our closest relatives are the mermpeople. They are almost extinct because of things like ocean pollution and they are nocturnal so they live in the deepest darkest reaches of the ocean where our human eyes are unable to see. People say, but if they exist why have i never seen one? Answer me this, if you were a mermaid/merman who everyone was dying to catch in a net and take to lab would you want anybody to see you?

1.) The chances are about 100%, plus-minus 0%. Primitive forms of life (i.e. cells) have been discovered on Mars and on some asteroids, the question is, whether there is intelligent extra-terrestrial life. And I find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be, given the infinite size of the universe and the laws of probability. \n\n2.) No, I don't believe in mermaids. Leprechauns, now that's another story...

we as humans have pulled apart and studied so many little things about creatures, humans, places. etc.. there is nothing left for the imagination.\n\nAlthough back in the olden times.  people could only go on what they felt and saw.  A lot of stories were made up (folklaw) to explain these happenings the best they could..  Some were written down others passed on though the generations. \nSome made a little nicer for kiddies stories.\n\nAlthough that doesn't mean all folktales are wrong or made up creations of people. \n\nI guess like myself, i believe in dragons.  yes they don't exist on this dimension and in the physical world to ours any more. \nBut they do visit from time to time. \nMuch like a Ghost or a Angel would.

I love fairy's.  My grandmother always believed in fairy's.  I frequent an area of woods that is absolutely magical.  Mosses and wildflowers, native trout, orange salamanders, mushrooms and waterfalls.  A PERFECT place for fairy's!!!

I'm not sure what you're asking here...do you want to know whehter any of us have encounter anything paranormal?  If so, I would have to say that almost everyone has...some either don't know that they have or refuse to believe it!

Okay, let me start this off by saying that I am a paranormal researcher.  And I do this with purely scientific methods.  Which means that to date, I have found no prove of any mythical or paranormal beings.  This being said I shall put forth what I have found on this subject.  \n\nWhile there has been no actual accounts of fairies in scietific history, it is a very common theme in many cultures.  You have Leprachauns in Ireland, fairies and pixies throughout europe, the "little people" of native american myths (varying in temermant and discription from tribe to tribe) to other sightings throughout the world.  The closest thing to any proof of "small" people to date (excluding those who have dwarfism) is a recent discovery of proto human remains in indonesia dating back some 13,000 years.  These remains are actually similar to that of the homo erectus, but reaching demunitive stature. On average of three feet tall.  This species is known as Flores Hominid

If one see animals that are not from this realm it doesn't negate that they exist, it merely means that they are seeing beyond this plain of existance. I have as a Totem animal the mighty Lepreachaun named Erniesta O'Latern of the Spanish Donegal and People try and tell me all the time that She doesn't exist yet I know that She does. So yes Sweetie Pie mythological Totems do exist and Your friend is really seeing those non existant armidillos. My other Totem when Erniesta is out of town ( She has a time share in the Caymans ) is Santa Claus! People are hard pressed to say Old Nicky doesn't exist eh, eh?.

You were obviously being sarcastic when you said you would pray for them. Of course,religious people don't appreciate\nthe irony of such statements and you obviously confused a lot of them.\n\n That being said,as an agnostic who tends toward atheism I\ncan appreciate your viewpoint. The only reason I'm not simply an atheist is that there's not any more evidence to support your theory than that of a Christian. As well,I do\nbelieve the world and the universe are far more complex than\nany of us can guess at this time.\n In a world where there IS evidence pointing to the possibility of reincarnation, as well as paranormal experts\nusing scientific methods to investigate reported hauntings,\ncan the existence of God really be ruled out so definately?\nMaybe your inner conscious is just your personal belief system at work. Who can really say for sure what the Reality\nreally is?\n\n Still,I can't bring myself to believe in a Biblical God who\ncreated the universe,is all-powerful yet knows all our names\nas well as where the smallest sparrow has fallen. It does sound like a fairy tale.

What does it mean to exist? Do they have to breath air and run and poop and live and die to have existed? They exist in stories and legends and in all of our imaginations. Is that any less real? \n\nAs long as we can all still think and feel and dream, they will always be around.

I do believe in Loch Ness monster.The Loch Ness Monster, sometimes called "Nessie" or "Ness" it is a mysterious and unidentified animal said to inhabit Loch Ness, a large deep freshwater loch near the city of Inverness in northern Scotland. Nessie is usually categorized as a type of lake monster.\n\nThe underwater photos were reportedly obtained by painstakingly scouring the loch's depths with sonar, over the course of days, for unusual underwater activity. An underwater camera with an affixed, high-powered light (necessary for penetrating Loch Ness' famed murk) was then deployed to record images from below the surface. Several of the resulting photographs, despite their obviously murky quality, did indeed seem to show an animal quite resembling a plesiosaur in various positions and lightings. A few close-ups of what is alleged to be the creature's diamond-shaped fin were also taken, in different positions, indicating movement.

I believe because of my personal experiences.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nI rarely ever actually see ghosts, but one time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a Pagan festival, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nI also believe in Faeries.\n\nOne time, on a camping trip, it was an especially magickal night. At some point, everyone in the camp noticed that something was missing, including a necklace from around one woman's neck. The area where we were camping was seperate from any other areas and so no one came into the area. Suspecting activity of the Fae, everyone put out offerings, except for the woman who lost her necklace. She cursed the fairies. The next morning, everything was returned except the necklace. To this day, the necklace has never been found.\n\nOn another camping trip, I put my tent right in the middle of a natural faery ring. When I camp, I always have a flashlight with me at all times. The only place I could have lost it was in my tent, so I searched my tent, and the flashlight was not in there. Then I had two friends search the tent, and they couldn't find the flashlight. I put out offerings to the fae, and the next morning, the flashlight was back in my tent.\n\nAnother camp-out, We had a tarp structure in the most wind protected part of a wind protected valley. I've put up a lot of tarp structures, and it was put up very well. I've put up hundreds of tents and tarp structures, and I know what I'm doing. In and around the tarp structure where etched glass tealight holders on stands averaging about 4 feet high (it was beautiful). That night, the structure blew over (in a wind protected area) but when it fell, somehow it completely missed all of the etched glass. About mid way through the day, with no one anywhere near the structure, about half of it spontaneously stood back up.

I'm open to the possibility, basically for the same reason I believe in God.  There's no evidence to prove or disprove either God or unicorns, dragons, or manticores existing, so I just have my gut feeling to go on that they all do exist.

I investigate them. I believe in a wide range such things---spirits, ghosts, demons, elves, lephrachauns, faeries, pixies, dragons, sasquatches, aliens, non-organic beings, etc. I have investigated all of these thinsg and experienced them with my own senses. \nHowever, for many people it wishful thinking. For example many people come to find these creatures through a fantasy that they exist--because they want them to exist. Howver cultural pressures also play a part in it. Many people believe in god just because their parents did and everyone else they know does.
