Example: [Collected via e-mail, August 2014] The photos in this video are starting to circulate the internet. There's other versions on YouTube which claim the dead mermaid was found in Thailand, the Canary Islands, etc. Origins: There's nothing much to see in this version of yet another hoax report about the supposed discovery of a mermaid skeleton or mermaid body. The still images of the Dead Mermaid Found In River Vladaya, Bulgaria shown in the above-linked video should be familiar to anyone who has seen the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which featured a plot point about the notorious pirate Blackbeard's seeking to prolong his life by harvesting tears from a mermaid. As seen here and here, those figures are dead mermaid bodies created for that movie by Joel Harlow, a make-up effects artist who provides special make-up effects and prosthetics for film and television productions.
