"Nessie" (from Nico)


Anyone would laugh at you if you say: "look,  there is a 25 foot monster in this sea". But not in Scotland. It is believed, that a large sea monster lives in the Loch Ness (a lake in the Scottish Highlands). But what are the arguements for this statement? On the one hand, many Scots believe that there lives a large sea monster... but on the other hand many Scots say that this is just a myth. In my comment I will show you whether the myth is true or not.
One proof for the truth of the myth is, that many people said that they saw Nessie. In 1527 Duncan Campbell saw at the bank of Loch Ness a really fearful monster. Or in the 16th century, an old chronic said a monster came out of the Loch Ness and killed 3 men. One of the most iconic images of Nessie is known as the "Surgeons Photograph", which was taken in 1934 by Robert Wilson, a surgeon, showed a long animal with a long neck. But on the other side there are just a few evidence for a monster in Loch Ness. In 1995, there was an announcement that the surgeons photograph was just a lie. Neil Clark, a ringmaster, said that the animal on the picture was just a swimming elephant from his circus.
In conclusion, I think that there isn't a monster in the Loch Ness. There are just a few evidence and I think if there is such a monster we would all know about it.

Too bad! I had always hoped to go there one day and see a real monster! :-) To me, the image looks more like a snake than like an elephant's trunk! And what is an elephant doing swimming in Loch Ness??? Fun topic!
