The Loch Ness “monster” which the locals call “Nessie” is a study in legendary creatures.
Purported to be a plesiosaur-like creature which lives in the Loch Ness, a very long and extremely deep lake located in Scotland, Nessie has a long body with a very long tail and neck with grey markings on her torso.
She is reputed to look very much reminiscent of the Brontosaurus.
Many sightings of Nessie have been recorded, going back as long as we have recorded such events.
Loch Ness Monster
Of course the current resident would be a child of the current, which brings us to another question. Is there more than one?
Beginning in 1934 Dr RK Wilson, a physician from London supposedly photographed a creature with a long neck emerging from the murky waters of the lake.
Prior to the taking of the photos, Nessie, as the locals call her, was a legend, and a local myth.
Professionals examined the photo and curious, began to examine more than just that first photo
Explorations by submarines with sensing devices followed. Today, in the wake of the Loch Ness question a tourist industry exists that spends literally multi millions of dollars each year.
The tourism industry that surrounds Nessie includes submarine rides and a tourist center as well as web cam sites existing.
“The Smithsonian even has a WWW page on Nessie, where it advocates continued scientific investigation into the matter.” If you are curious about the Loch Ness Monster, you can visit her Smithsonian Page on the web.

Hi, im carmen and i sponserd a dolphin called nevis and so i am intrested in many sea creatures and even the so believed legand creatures. I now believe that nessie is real because all the proof i have had it all comes together in one piece. Everytime i look up ,”loch ness monster real?” it all comes up with the same, same anwser, that nessie is real! Thankyou for reading this ill be commeting a lot so please look at what i say please! Carmen
WOW HAVE YOU REALLY SEEN HER???
you should take some pix to prove it huni coz no one will believe u till u can prove it… and why did u rename her?
Although I do think the picture is a fake there are documented cases of the sea monster as well as numerous amounts of money have been spent by scientists and private investors to find the creature. (http://www.monsterssightings.com/sea-monster-sightings/loch-ness-monster.html) I am sure there is some strong evidence suggesting that the monster exists, why else go through all the trouble to find it?
it could be like the giant squid, extremly good at eluding people. giant squids have never been documented in the wild so why is this any different? we know giant squids are real even though we have no documents of it so nessie could be real too!
I can sense all living creatures. but there isnt auras like of that the ness stuff existing. it was a fake.
he should have ‘photographer’ shoot many times to see the truth. but it happen one foggy day, so it was all messed up.
and lens of old are yea.. so yesterday.
it’s real ok
