TOURISTS in Puerto Rico were left stunned as they watched their excursion video back after apparently spotting a “human-like” creature lurking beneath the waters.

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 moves under the water leaving the tourists baffled and terrified.

The footage has been shared widely online, with some speculating that the figure lurking under the water is 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 moving figure has yet to be explained but according to one paranormal expert, it’s probably a mermaid.

Speaking to Daily Star Online, Barri Ghai suggested: “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.”

While we can’t even hazard a guess at what it was, we can almost guarantee that this group of friends won’t be taking to the water again any time soon.
