wouldnt it have gotten found by now? its a lake not a ocean or a sea.. so where the hell could it hide!

lol. you have your own oppinon, but i think a lot of people on this board will disagree with you. Including me. But you have a point.

I actually believe it is a ghost or a spirit of some sort. It can be seen, But not captured.

some people believe that it can walk on land, so some people believe that it visits other places.

Oh, It isn't an ocean or a sea, but don't make the mistake of thinking it's just a little pond. Loch Ness is three miles long and two miles wide, with over a thousand feet of depth. To make matters worse, it is a peat lake, meaning that there is so much organic matter free-floating in the water that clear visibility is only about a foot. The water is extremely cold, and due to the mountains around it, storms and high winds can whip up the surface at a moments notice.

No, Loch Ness is not an easy place to find anything, not at all.

Which is not to say a breeding population of giant monsters could have stayed hidden in it, not all this time, without a bit more in the way opf confirmation than a few fuzzy pictures.

I believe there's also speculation of a complex network of underwater tunnels beneath loch ness and some believe that there may be a way for the monster to get in and out of the loch when need be, into surrounding ocean.

The only way to know is to suck out all the water in the lake, like in that episode of the simpsons with mr. burns trying to find nessy.

Yes it is a lake, but it runs very deep and there are caves which, go into other lakes, so there are alot of places for it to be , I do not think it is really hiding, but just going from one place to the other,Also this is one of the deepest body of water on the planet.

Thats one smart ass dinosaour to not be found even to this day. And sucking ALL the water out might sound stupid but if it was done there would be 1 less myth to think about and all those websites and researchers would either be very right or be ver ystupid and wasted alot of time.

lol triple post.


Many people dont think that dinosaur can live very long, the fact that they are reptile and the fact that they are very large it is known that they can live few 100's years or so.

How do you have just a single specimen survive of an entire species?
That's ridiculous!

"Damn ye Nessie! - you'll na' git away hidin' from Willlie!"

Actually, there aren't. That's a common myth. The geology makes cave networks impossible. And the only connection to the sea id via the River Ness (which runs through the middle of the city of Inverness) or the Caledonian Canal (via which you could get into the Atlantic, if you could negotiate all the locks.....).

The most likely explanation for Nessie and her cousins Morag (in Loch Morar) and Sheilag (in Loch Sheil) is the presence of eunach eels which can grow to a great size and have long lives.

(Btw although I've never been to Loch Ness I've walked the length of Loch Morar and visited it's uninhabited eastern end many times, I've also walked the length of Loch Shiel on several occasions as well as travelled down the loch on my friend's boat. Always kept my eyes peeled. Never seen anything though )

Yes it is just a Loch nearly 24 miles long and the largest body of Fresh water in the UK, you can hide the worlds population 3 times over below the surface and no a head would be above the water. It would not be that difficult for something to be so illusive once you see the sheer size of the Loch.

Who's to say Nessie is the only, umm, Nessie?

There may be a lil' family down there. Anything's possible. They may have just eluded being seen. Who can tell?

I highly doubt that there is a loch ness monster. I dont believe it is real because theres not enough hard evidence to actually prove that nessie is real. Maybe at one point in time nessie was real but a creature cant live for over a hundred years, unless it's a turtle or fish. I believe that all the so called nessie encounters are peoples minds playing tricks on them. The reason i say this is because people are told about nessie and when they go into the creatures so called habitat there gonna start getting a little edgy and paranoid. They think " i'm in the loch ness monsters territory" and then they see a log sticking out of the water and immediatly think it's nessie. Or they look on sonar and see a school of fish, they immediatly declare it as nessie because it's there reaction to being in nessies territory or habitat.


I believe nessie was real hundreds of years ago, but not any more. However the myth and story about nessie will never die because people keep him alive in there minds. Parents will tell there kids who will tell there kids and thus the story of nessie will continue.

Am I to understand you believe there is just one 'Nessie' down there?

Trust me, I have seen Nessie, manytimes. But if I said where it is, I'll get banned.
But the geology isn't true. Sonar shows there are some channels under the river. I think the Loch has two layers. the second layer is where they stay, air pockets and all.

My husband is from Inverness and I have visited Loch Ness many times. (Last time, last week)
It is an amazing and eerie place. Armour plated fish have been found there, so conditions are right but is there only one Nessie-Unlikely..Is there a Nessie at all- Dunno!
Class is out on whether there are under ground tunnels between Lochs Ness and Mor. Some 'experts' say yes, some say No! Some locals say they have been through them (are these the same locals that saw Hitler in Balmoral Castle.) Loch Mor has had a few sightings of its own monster. Is it the same one-Dunno!
I will try and keep an open mind about Nessie. As my FIL said when I asked was there any routine to Nessie sightings? He said "Yes at the start of every tourist season!"

Welcome to UM Aoifejoy, I think there have been many documented sightings to prove there is something in the Loch from single sightings to group sightings. Dinsdale took some good video footage and a few that have left their jobs and devoted their lives to prove Nessie exists all believe that their is a family of around 20 living in the Loch.

But sadly like everything else sceptics want hard evidence, there is probably less evidence of God existing but how many believe in him?

I believe there is something in the Loch, but I would like evidence as to what that is. Especially if it is an unknown species, so that it may be documented and (preferably passively) studied, so we may know more about our world.

Rhomphaia whatever is in the Loch has to be an unknown species and the Scottish Authorities placed a hunting and protection order to preserve years ago.

Maybe it is a creature that uses the Loch as a migration route or mating ground, travelling through the Caledonian canal to and from the Sea?

I guess wether you belive in Nessie, and so are more likely to 'conjoure up' an image of her in the Loch, is if you have an open mind, like I think I have. Some want hard facts, and that's fine, but they will probably never think they see Nessie, because they would explain it with a log, an otter, or a school of fish.

There's nothing wrong with wither opinion. I just think that people who want to belive in Nessie are more likely to see her.
