We all have heard the name of this lake at some point in our life, named "Loch Ness" located in Scotland, which has always been surrounded by mysteries. It is very vast and deep and at the same time the visibility is very poor when you go inside it, so it becomes impossible to explore this lake. There is a legend associated with this lake, here the claims of seeing such a prehistoric creature have been raised since the beginning, which science considers to be extinct. This creature is called Nessie or Loch Ness Monster, it is a species of water-dwelling dinosaur or serpent-type creature with a very long neck.
The exact date of the emergence of stories of this creature is not known, but its first written account appeared in the year 565. Saint Columba of Ireland was staying on a land nearer to this lake with some of his companions when he saw some locals burying a man near the lake. Then suddenly he saw a giant beast coming out of the water and dragged a man underwater who was swimming in the lake. The description of this giant creature was exactly as people claim today. After this D. Mackenzie claimed to have seen this creature in the year 1871, at first he thought that a part of the tree trunk was floating in the water. Moving slowly at first but soon that object started disappearing at a faster speed and then Mackenzie understood that The Loch Ness Monster's claims were no fantasy. The scientific community has always been denying its every sighting and so far many sightings emerged as its evidence.
Some very famous and trusted people also claimed to have seen this monster, such as Alexander Macdonald in the year 1888, Aldie Mackay in 1933, George Spicer in 1933, also Hugh Gray in the same year, and Arthur Grant in 1934. In 1934, the famous surgeon Robert Kenneth Wilson not only saw this creature but also claimed to have taken a photo of the creature's head and neck, and this is how for the first time, any evidence of this creature came to the public. This photo became the first step to investigate this creature. After this incident, scientists started searching for the creature in this lake, but as soon as the divers went underwater, the problem of visibility started coming in front of the divers, due to which it could not be explored to date.
In the year 1954, Sonar readings of the lake were also taken, in which it was found that some creature or large object was swimming at a very high speed 800 meters below the vessel. But after a few minutes, it again got disappeared somewhere in the depths of this lake. But even this evidence was not enough for scientists. Several people claimed to have seen this creature and some people have also shared its video clips. Even today this lake is a tourist spot where people spend time trying to get a glimpse of this creature.
