"Mermaid Traction," the underwater horrors of the ancients.

"Mermaid Traction," the underwater horrors of the ancients.

In the old days, during the flood season, many children died suddenly. Some people survived to say that swimming suddenly was like something under the water. They grabbed their legs (especially the shins or ankles). When they came to see, they saw cracks, like the squeezes of their hands. The villagers in the old days often said that they had to be pulled by a "mermaid," and some that they were pulled by a ghost. Water ghosts dragged differently in different areas, but they were also terrible mysteries in the water that pulled their legs under the water.

.

In fact, the mermaid is the Elephant Trunk Snake (Acrochordus javanicus), a large type of water snake that is usually found during the water season, a snake in the same family as a rag snake, the skin is crinkled into a small button, a small pointed head, nimble in the water, and when caught on land, it is still like death, and it does not look brown, but if you come up on the dry skin lane, it looks like a pale yellow, a snake that does not look poisonous, and eats fish, and then you catch a duck, a bird that is playing in the water.

.

* * * Sometimes it's called a "pocket snake" because the leather is always patterned with buttons, so it used to be used to make leather with bags.

.

Normally, other snakes have scales under their stomachs, but they do not have them, and they form snakes like "Anacondas in South America." There are about 25 to 30 litters (according to the perfect condition), which are large water snakes in all parts of Thailand. The oldest is more than three meters in size. They like to float still, appear only at the head and the water.

.

Because they are heavy and large, they can drown children aged 7 to 8 years old. The tightening of elephant snakes sometimes makes the part of the child that is strangled as if they were touched by the leg. Even some adults may die of shock. Some people survive, they often say that they have been pulled by mermaids.

He would love to dig holes in the banks, some fat turrets, as far as it seems, not very long, probably a meter, but where the ecosystem is complete, it's as long as an elephant.

.

If anyone has ever been to the Abdul's snake show, it's the elephant.

* * * An adult survived, saying,

.

. "..I was hit as a child and bruised on the left ankle. Grandma and the old people said that I was hit by a ghost, and I was really dragged down. If I didn't eat water, the canal died. Of course, because when I drowned, it would give me enough oxygen to survive. The band is really peppered like a hard worker's palm, but with a snap because the elephant snaps its mouth, we were shocked to want to flick it, and it is the nature of fighting and struggling to survive. If I am not helped by the big generation, you are definitely talking to my soul...Heh, heh..."

.

Normally, it is a scared snake, not biting, not fleeing a single child, but it may be that suddenly, being stepped underwater, or pregnant with a filling, so the resident loop is shocked, so the bully accidentally bites his body, so pulls his nemesis's legs into the water, becoming a mermaid.

.

And because it has no cuteness and has disappeared from nature, no one has studied it, the elephant has finally become an implicit "underwater monster."

.

But before, there were a lot of canals in Bangkok, especially in the suburbs, children go down to fish and meet, often pretend to throw on land, so they are lazy, so they do not run away, but today they are starting to disappear from nature, probably because of pollution, poisoning, chemicals in the water, and probably a lot of modern people who do not know but hate snakes, beat to death.

.

* * * During the rainy season, the water may come out of the mysterious land under the sewers. If you find an elephant ring, don't hurt him. He's not dangerous.
