I was at a water park and hotel in South America. The guys from Ghost Adventures were there because the place was haunted and I was interning under them. The owner was very rude and did whatever she needed to keep the place running. She had a daughter who was around 6 and very sweet. We started the investigation and supernatural things started to happen. Once while swimming, I got pulled under even though there was no one around me. Later I saw a young girl who didnt have a face and then quickly vanished. We continued investigating and I found out the daughter had an imaginary friend which I suspected to be a ghost because the daughter said sometimes "she gets scary and throws things." We spent the night in the hotel and nothing happened except I couldn't sleep. In the morning I concluded that there wasn't one ghost there, but three. There was the ghost of a woman, her child who appeared as the faceless girl, and the one who was the imaginary friend. The reason they were so hostile was because they drowned at the park and their deaths were covered up in order for it to stay open. I was correct, the woman was arrested, and most of the ghosts could now rest. The imaginary friend ghost stayed and I could now see her. Both of these things worried me. The Ghost Adventures crew and I headed out to the next location and we brought the girl along with us. The next place was a large farm. During the day, we split up and started doing preliminary investigations. The girl and her ghost stayed inside and before I left the ghost made a joke I didnt find funny but I laughed anyway because I was scared. It was afternoon when I came back to the main house to find the other guys weren't there even though they should've been. As I waited for them on the couch, a guy working on the farm came to make small talk with me. He was really nice and we hit it off really quickly. I asked him if he knew where the crew was and he said he hadn't seen them since a couple of hours ago when they were looking at the old graveyard. As we went to go look for them, the cops came and said I was under arrest for trespassing. My new friend vouched for me saying that I was welcome there. After I was let go, we kept walking along a dirt road with a huge lake on the side. I stopped because I thought I saw something in the water. The guy was acting nervous and kept telling me to move on. Upon closer inspection I saw a mermaid in the lake. Realizing I had seen it, the guy admitted that there were mermaids not only in this lake but in a cove in the ocean that was nearby. He also admitted that he was one and he could show me the rest if I wanted. I totally forgot about finding the crew and totally focused on this. My legs became I tail after I slumbered them into the cold water. I swam around a lot and it was a lot like flying. Time skip to a couple months later where I'm still friends with the guy and he and I with two of my other friends are about to go hiking.
