Carvings of this unidentified animal, made by the ancient inhabitants of the Scottish Highlands some 1,500 years ago, are the earliest evidence that Loch Ness harbors a strange aquatic creature. This looks a lot like the stone carvings of the Chupacabra. The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of St. Columba by Adamnan in the year 565 AD. The monster apparently attacked and killed a man who was swimming in the River Ness.

Since the larger public first became aware of the monster in 1933, the Loch Ness beastie has become an international media star, her most recent appearance on a commemorative stamp recently issued by the Maldive Islands.

"Nessie" is an alleged creature living in Loch Ness, a long, deep lake near Inverness, Scotland. Many sightings of the "monster" have been recorded, going back at least as far as St. Columba, the Irish monk who converted most of Scotland to Christianity in the 6th century. Columba apparently converted Nessie, too; for it is said that until he went out on the waters and soothed the beast, she had been a murderess.

Mackay's and Campbell 1933 The MacKays owned a pub at Drumnadrochit, and on April 14th saw an "enormous animal" in the Loch. They told the man responsible for controlling salmon fishing in the Loch, a Alex Campbell. Campbell, because of his job spent a lot of time observing the Loch, and he saw Nessie a number of times. Campbell put it at 30 feet long and described it as having "a long, tapering neck, about 6 feet long, and a smallish head with a serpentine look about it, and a huge hump behind..."

Mankind has always had an interest in a good mystery. The monster, sea serpent, kraken and other mythological creatures have formed a part of folklore since the beginning of time. Around the world there are reputed to be sea serpents or monsters in many bodies of fresh water. Nessie in Loch Ness, Morag in Loch Morar, Shielagh in Loch Shiel, Lizzy in Loch Lochy, Champ in Lake Champlain, Ogopogo in Lake Okanagan and, would you believe, Wally in Lake Wallowa to mention but a few.

The world's favorite monster stole the headlines again this month, when the remains of a giant sea creature were discovered in Scotland's Loch Ness. But instead of hailing the find as possible evidence of the monster's existence, scientists now think it a hoax.

Sightings of large serpentine creatures emanate from many lakes throughout the world. Perhaps the most famous lake monster is that said to inhabit Loch Ness in Inverness, Scotland. This creature is affectionately called "Nessie." The earliest written reference to a monstrous creature in Loch Ness dates to the sixth century when Saint Columba supposedly prevented the monster from devouring a man swimming in the loch. Such creatures abound in Celtic folklore. Called "water horses" or "water kelpies" they are considered powerful and malevolent. There are also a dozen or so later references to a creature in Loch Ness before the twentieth century.

Hundreds of publications and TV programs about the Brosno monster made the creature a world sensation The weekly Karavan+Ya (Caravan+Me) published in the Russian city of Tver became widely popular seven years ago when it was first to report about a monster from Lake Brosno in the Andreapol District of the Tver Region.

The Loch Ness Monster: The Evidence is the final word on this mystery; a compact but comprehensive review of the principal evidence for the existence of an unknown creature (or creatures) in Loch Ness.

The most publicised and well known of the lake monsters, Nessie has captured the popular imagination. There are hundreds of sightings on record, which describe a roughly similar creature in and out of the water over a period of 200 years. However, the nature of these sightings has not been adequately resolved, and there are numerous theories to explain and explain away the evidence. The most popular of these being the survival of an aquatic dinosaur, which like most theories has many problems.

There is mention of a monster in or around Loch Ness as long ago as the sixth century AD. We are told by Adomnan, biographer of Columba, that the saint had made a journey to visit Brude, King of the Picts, at his fort. beside the River Ness.

Considering that the Loch Ness monster is one of the most recognized enigmas in the world, it is relatively unrepresented in the world of cult movies.
