Perhaps you've seen the picture above. Blog and web mysteries often feature the image above. Details on the web says that the creature is a mermaid or a fish man dragged to shore. But here's the real story:

Pictured above began circulating via email, forums and blogs since 2006. It is said that the image is a strange creature like a mermaid or human fish found on the coast of Malaysia. And even another statement stating that the creature is extraterrestrial.

Sites like Youtube and even display video invention. Exact location of the discovery is said to be in the Gulf heat, Malaysia. But strangely, banned newspapers publish this discovery.

Actually not strange, because the real human mermaid or fish is not real at all. The body is the work of a famous sculpture artist named Juan Cabana. Several series of photographs can be seen on personal websites Juan cabana, including photographs of other strange creatures handiwork. If we look carefully, we can actually guessed that the creature was a hoax. Note the creature's body is too clean for being a new trail to the beach.

Mr Cabana has sold body mermaid creations via ebay auction with the name "SeaMystery". According to the flow of information available on ebay, the body was sold for USD 1,550.

Cabana does not provide information on ebay that the creature is a creation. In fact he made a fictional story that is being washed up to shore until it was found. Cabana claimed include fiction is to generate interest in their work. But when the image is escaped and spread over the internet, the story caused a variety and make a lot of people fooled. Images are taken from ebay and distributed on the Internet without the permission of Mr. Cabana.
