The Margate Mystery

Oh, my.  What strange and mysterious creature could have washed up on shore in Kent?

Beachgoers have found a "strange skeleton-like" figure which washed up on the shore at a British beach and left them puzzled over what it could be.

Paula Regan stumbled across the eerie object while enjoying a seaside walk with her husband Dave in Margate, Kent, on Monday, March 10, and a crowd gathered to look at it. Photos show what looks like a skeleton and mermaid hybrid, partially buried in sand and surrounded by seaweed- with a skeletal head and tail-like structure.

Followers of the blog will immediately recognize the creature as a traditional sideshow-style Fiji Mermaid.  It's hard not to congratulate the Regans for a hoax well played, but I really wish the reporter hadn't played along quite so enthusiastically.
