Loch Ness Monster is believed to live in the waters of Lake Loch Ness northern Scotland, UK. Hundreds of people claiming for hundreds of years have seen the monster being out on the lake surface is always calm. But until now, the monster who was nicknamed Nessie remains a mystery. Is this monster exist?

Some scientists for decades struggled against doing a series of studies, but the Nessie-like many other legendary creatures, chose to conceal his identity, buried in the depths of the lake that has not fundamentally grasps to it.

The story of Nessie preceded by a description of ancient manuscripts from the 7th century. In a note of the Christian clergy, entitled "Life of St. Columba" Adamnan writing, there is an explanation of a monster in Loch Ness Lake.

Mentioned in the year 565, St. Columba spiritual help people Pict Tribe (Ancient Scottish population) who suddenly attacked by a giant water creature while sailing on Lake Loch Ness. By chanting prayers from the mainland, St Columba get rid of these monsters.

Since then, no more explanation about Nessie, but he still talked about until the late 1800s. Then in the 1930s, the issue of re-emergence of Nessie crowded reported.

Nessie sightings

In the 20th century, the first report appeared in April 1933 by a husband and wife of John Mackay who rode motorcycles on the road of Lake Loch Ness. They claimed that Nessie was sunbathing in the middle of the lake.

Tumultuous story broke on July 22, 1933, when George Spicer and his wife reported seeing a giant creature cross in front of their car around Lake Loch Ness.

Described, the creature was as high as 1.2 meters by 8 meters long body, long neck like an elephant trunk along the 3 meter, while the small head. The creature had crossed dozens of yards in front of their car.

Another report on January 5, 1934, a motorcycle rider, Arthur Grant, reported nearly collided with a figure "dinosaur" in the north shore of Lake Loch Ness. 01.00 At dawn when the moon, he was surprised to see the emergence of a long neck on the side of the road. The creature looked at him a moment before walking into the water. He also pursued the creature, but only saw riapan water on the surface of the lake.

Then on June 5, 1934, a domestic servant named Margaret Munro admitted watching the giant creature for 20 minutes. At 06.30 am, from a distance of 180 meters, he saw movement on the shores of Lake Loch Ness.

Mentioned, "monster" was a rough-skinned like an elephant, a long neck, small head with two short fins like feet wide. The creature then dive into the lake.

In May 1943, CB Farrel of the Royal Observer Corps (British Royal Observer Corps) was startled by Nessie sightings at Loch Ness. He was at a distance of 225 meters from the giant finned creature the size of 9.6 meters by 1.6 meters long neck which suddenly appeared from the water. He was officially reported these sightings to London.

Then in December 1954, the sonar of a Rival III fishing boat caught a giant image of the creature about 150 yards below their boat on Lake Loch Ness. The image appears for a half-mile voyage, before finally disappeared from the radar.

Many similar reports appar until 1963, until an amateur camera recording showing the figure of Nessie from a distance so many miles for several minutes.

Photos and Records

The first to claim success photographed Nessie was an unknown young man. He is the shadow image capture Nessie's back playing water (1933). This photo was not clear, except the black silhouette of winding and spraying water.

The first photographs of the world's most appalling is the fruit of the work of Kenneth R Wilson in 1934. This surgeon was very interested in the legend of Nessie. This picture became one of the important evidence of Nessie (the time) that shows the long-necked creature, small heads and some hump sticking on the surface of the lake. This photo was known by the code "Surgeon's Photo". Having studied for decades, in 1994, this photograph declared a hoax and engineering.

Other photographs are the work of Peter A Macnab (1955). He photographed the shadow of the back Nessie swim near a castle at Urquhart Bay, Loch Ness Lake. This portrait saved for research.

While in 1938, GE Taylor, a tourist from South Africa to claim a movie about Nessie for 3 minutes in a format of 16 mm color film. But this film was never publicly published. Some scientists consider this the original recordings (though not so obvious) and became an important scientific evidence about Nessie.

Then the other footage is the fruit of the work of Tim Dinsdale (1960), a flight engineer. He managed to record a giant monster hump was across the lake with rippling water tumbling. Yet many doubt this movie and call it a trick of the camera tricks alone. However, scientific research with more sophisticated equipment in the year 1993 is correct that the picture is the original!

Several expeditions and research conducted around Lake Loch Ness, but none managed to uncover the mystery. Even a scientific expedition financed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in 2003 also did not produce results. No one knows if Nessie exists or not.

Is this monster hiding under the grass of Lake Loch Ness thick at a depth up to 240 meters? This remains a mystery that surrounds the lake along the 37 km with a width of 8 km's.
