Nessie!


The beast said to inhabit Loch ness in Scotland highland which is said that have more freshwater than England and Wales combined. The legend began in the 6th century when St. Columba went to Christianize the country who ordered one of his monks to swim across the loch to get the boat and when suddenly a monster appeared to the monk, then St. Columba upon seeing the monster said these famous lines: "go no further, nor touch the man, go back!" and the monster (nessie) said to fled.

After that story a numerous number of explorers gathers round the loch and waiting for the appearance of the 'Monster'. And centuries of waiting, in 1934, there was a man who was allegedly caught a picture of the monster, but it was deemed fake during the late 70's and during the 80's it is said to be a diving board and lately it is said to be a hoax perpetrated by the Big-game hunter who took the shot, and the reality was it was a toy with a clay attached to it.

In 18th century, the loch ness monter said to have a color of an elephant, a small head that is turning side to side. After a year the witnesses found the creature in the wooded area, that has 4 legs, long nech and a dak grey color. In the early 19th century it is compared to a camel but smaller, long neck, humped-back and fairly long legs, sandy pale yellow color. In 1934 Grunt said it has a bulky body with 2 slight humps, long tail, rounded at end. head like an ell with large eyes. Overall length is 15-20 ft, tail is 5-6ft, neck 3-4ft long,maximum diameter of 4ft and the color was black or dark brown.

Even for today it is being verified if the creature really exist.
