So you are into necrophilia?

Aliens > Ghosts > Mermaids/Bigfoot/Zombies

I'm pretty sure Aliens exist (intelligent or not)
And I actually kind of believe there's ghosts in stuff I have experienced

The rest is a no go.

Most to least:

Aliens - we haven't explored a fraction of a percentage of the universe. It's stupid to believe that in the entire universe we are the highest evolved beings

Bigfoot - mutation of an ape. Somewhat likely at some point

Mermaid - major mutation. It's theoretically possible, look at the kind of things you see in so called freak shows

Zombies - some kind of crazy virus that kills its host and can somehow manipulate the brain. Theoretically possible, but highly unlikely

Ghosts - don't really see how these are even possible to explain scientifically

Aliens > Bigfoot > zombies > mermaids > ghosts

Aliens seem likely somewhere in the universe. The middle three are just a matter of evolution providing the right animal or virus or whatever in different levels of likelihood. Ghosts just aren't.

Zombies actually exist, but it's pretty much among insects and it's usually caused by a parasite/fungi instead of viruses (one of which is what the zombies in the Last of Us series are actually based. In fact the fungi that causes them exists in real life, it just doesn't make the hosts aggressive as far as I'm aware and they only affect insects I think). I'm confident alien's exist solely because I don't believe that Earth would be the only planet in the universe that would have sentient life.

Those others I don't believe they exist.

Yeah, cordyceps.

All of them have been in The Sims, and that series pretty much emulates life to a T, so they must all exist.

if by mermaids you mean sea people then that is probably real. they are the ones piloting the "ufos" not space aliens. space aliens do not exist.

Aliens, Bigfoot, ghosts, mermaids, zombies

I suppose in that order.

Even Bigfoot?

You know what they say about big feet....

1. Aliens
2. Ghosts
3. Zombies
4. Bigfoot
5. Mermaids

Ghosts = Aliens > rest

Zombies literally proven to exist.
Deer zombies hit the news last year. Also, fungi zombify insects and so do other things.

Bigfoot is just a new species of ape or bear that has big feet. Very plausible.

Mermaids could be a species of highly intelligent fish that have a semi-human like appearance. Octopi are known to be super duper smart as well as dolphins so it is just random chance a human looking fish exists in the ocean somewhere.

Ghosts imo are not likely. They could be some sort of mental energy snapshot or whatever. In any case, they wouldn't be very sentient.

Aliens are last place. Size of universe arguments are pathetic. Any alien out there is likely just microscopic and the conditions for life to become intelligent basically aboslutely unknown. Earth is one of a kind from all the billions of planets scientists looked at so far.
The very idea that you see water you find life is misguided as well.

Bigfoot certainly seem to be out there somehow. The weirdness in the topic is how much variety seems to exist in sightings.

About 4000 other planets have been observed, and several of them are earth-like.

I believe aliens exist. I used to believe in Sasquatches but not so sure these days. We probably would find them by now or evidence of them

Zombies technically exist in the insect world.

Exist- Aliens (they exist statically they will have to)

I could see it happening-Zombies not like in the form of most movies, but there are animals who get their bodies controlled by parasites.

These are horrible.

Less likely but still possible.Ghost=Bigfoot. Call me crazy. But I think there could be ghost, no logic or science behind it, I just do. For bigfeet. We find new animals all the time. So it could be something there. I don't think it is, but I would also not rule it out 100%.

Mermaids-Naw I don't think that is possible at all.

That you wear big shoes. Research has shown there is no correlation.

Mermaids are completely possible evolutionary speaking. Whales ancestors walked on four legs millions of years ago. Eventually the back legs fused and became the fluke. They still breath air as well, so there is nothing from an evolutionary perspective that says the same can't happen within the human gene pool. Now it's doubtful you are getting The Little Mermaid, but they would still look vaguely human.

1. Bigfoot-esque type creature could exist whether it is just a giant ape or something
2. Zombies could exist just by definition of those being infected that could infect others with some infection.
3. It would be hard to think that there doesn't exist some kind of lifeforms out in the endless universe. Like not even like visible things, but microscopic things that may only be technically alive.
4. Although incredibly unlikely, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a fish attaining a form that may somewhat resemble as human.
5. There is no possible explanation for the existence of ghosts.

Aliens>Bigfoot>Ghosts/Zombies>Mermaids

The universe is REALLY fucking huge. So it's entirely possible alien life exists

There are thing here on Earth we haven't discovered yet, so Bigfoot is also possible (albeit highly unlikely)

Ghosts/Zombies are both paranormal, and thus go together

Mermaids are pure fantasy

---

1. Aliens (99% chance of actually existing in some form).
2. Zombies (not very likely, but I guess in theory there could one day be some kind of mind-altering parasite that takes control of the human brain since weve seen this with other living organisms. probably wouldnt behave very similarly to zombies in fiction though).
3. Mermaids (chance is infinitely small, but the oceans of Earth are so indescribably vast and largely unexplored that there could be a small chance that theres an intelligent underwater civilization of life that we havent detected. Wouldnt bet on it though).
4. Bigfoot (unless Bigfoot is an immortal creature that never reproduces, this is complete bullshit because if this species actually existed wed find bodies of them and evidence they actually exist somewhere in nature).
5. Ghosts (Just straight up no chance they exist. The concept of them doesnt even make any sense when you really think about it).

It also depends on the type of zombie.

Are we talking literal undead or just sort-of-dead like a plague that destroys people's mental capacity and makes them zombie-like
