It is believed that the mermaids or some called them sirens,used to sing to the sailors and lure them over towards the rocks and the ship would get crash and the sailors would drown but it is unsure if this is true. But it is believed that the mermaids/sirens would do this only for the purpose of seeing the men suffer but it is unknown what they did with the body's.
