Welcome back to The Boo Review, where we dive into the most haunting tales from yesterday's news sources. 

Today’s tale of a mystical merman draws inspiration from a fascinating article in The American Weekly Mercury out of Philadelphia, published on September 6, 1739. It begins with an ambitious Englishman, desperate for quick riches, and two honorable Dutch brothers who team up to start a fishing business in colonial New Jersey. Their partnership seems destined for trouble, but everything changes when they pull something extraordinary from the ocean—a merman. What follows is a mystical twist of fate, where greed, honor, and the supernatural collide, and every man gets exactly what he deserves.
