Yet, the image of this enigmatic creature has endured, leaving many to wonder what secrets lie beneath the waves.

Off coast, Portgordon

The locals knew these creatures as Mermen, said to appear to warn of bad luck at sea. If a fishing crew caught a glimpse of them, they'd quickly head back to port for the day, hoping to avoid disaster.
