Travelers Discover Strange Shape in River, They Are Shocked By What They Find Up Close

On a peaceful day at a tranquil nature park, Caleb and his friends spotted a peculiar pinkish-red shape drifting in the river. At first, it appeared to be a playful optical illusion, maybe a forgotten toy. However, as they drew nearer, a bone-chilling realization dawned upon them.

The object they had glimpsed from afar was nowhere near the whimsical mermaid they had thought it was…

“What on earth is that?!” Caleb’s friend, Monica, squealed in fright as she moved away, not wanting to get any closer to the water.

“That can’t be a mermaid!”

“Mon, I’m sure it’s harmless,” Caleb reassured her, attempting to calm her down. “I’ll go check it out up close,” he offered. Monica and their other friend, Jason, both nodded but remained still.

Caleb wished that Jason would have volunteered to accompany him, but it seemed like he was too frightened too.

“Okay, I’ll go alone,” Caleb whispered to himself, making sure Jason and Monica couldn’t hear. He turned towards the river once more and cautiously took a few steps forward.

“Watch out, Caleb!” Monica shouted, and he took a big breath as he observed that peculiar shape in the water. It appeared to be a human body, but it wasn’t moving.

The nearer Caleb got, the more scared he felt. Whatever that thing in the water was, it didn’t seem promising…

Caleb swiftly turned around and rushed back to his friends, surprising them with his sudden movements. “What’s wrong? What did you see?” Jason asked him, but Caleb simply shook his head.

“I can’t do it, I’m sorry. I don’t know what that thing is, but I don’t want to swim in the water.

To be honest, it’s really scaring me!”
