In 1603, a mermaid was sighted off the coast of Wales, near Pendean. Farmer by name  Thomas Reynold first noticed this creature, and then called others to watch the mermaid for three hours!

William Saunders, also from the same area of Pendean, examined the statements of Reynold and other witnesses. The story was reliable enough that in 1604, an image was created to depict a mermaid. She was described as "a monstrous fish that was in the form of a woman from the waist up."

Original news

1603 BY THOMAS RAYNOLD

In 1603, a mermaid was spotted off the coast of Wales, near Pendine. A farmer named Thomas Raynold first spotted the creature, and then called others over to watch the mermaid for three whole hours!

William Saunders, also from the same area Pendine, examined Raynold and the other witness accounts. The story was credible enough that in 1604, an image was created to depict the mermaid. It described her as a “monstrous fish that appeared in the form of a woman from her waist upward.”

With so many multiple accounts, we have to believe they saw something!
