Is this a mermaid chasing a boat? Chilling human-like creature spotted swimming after tourists
TOURISTS in Puerto Rico were left stunned after apparently spotting a "human-like” creature following their boat in a video of their holiday.
The clip was shot by Morales Deby who was enjoying a punt down the Isabela River in Puerto Rico with her friends.
In the footage, the group can be seen speeding down the murky waters, first focusing on the scene in front of them before taking a shot of the waters behind.
The group travels through a tunnel at high speed before slowing down to take in the surroundings.
Things seem normal at first, but moments later something unexpected appears to move under the water.
The footage has since been shared widely online - with some even speculating that the figure could be a mermaid.
One commenter on the original YouTube post said: “I would s*** myself if I saw that on a boat.”
Another added: “Now that is a first for me – a ghost underwater – absolutely spine-tingling.”
A third said: “Looks like the ghost of a drowned tourist.”
The real reason for the moving figure has yet to be explained - but could easily just be a large fish or computer special effects added to the footage.

Speaking to Daily Star Online, so-called paranormal expert Barri Ghai said: “First thing I would think of, I mean it does kind of look like a mermaid.
“Either they’re towing a dead body or there is something that looks humanoid in the water that is chasing them.
“It honestly does look like something swimming underneath there and chasing after the boat.
“I wouldn’t say it’s a ghost or a spirit but it’s definitely some form of being.
“It looks like it has mass, hair and skin tone.”
