UM-Bot Posted November 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The iconic monster earned the top spot in the poll which included several of the UK's most enduring enigmas. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/312986/nessie-tops-poll-of-uk-supernatural-mysteries 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted November 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2017 No Mystery - tourist trap unless there's an inter-dimensional doorway in the Loch we haven't been able to find that lets Nessie go as he or she pleases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDocMartens Posted November 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Gotta say "Duh" to the article's headline. The dog-killing bridge is interesting, though.

I haven't read the article, but would that be the dog killing bridge by the castle? The one where the dogs jump off all the time? If so it's well understood what's going on there. It's the old low side/high side wall thing dogs traditionally struggle with. Especially as there are plenty of sounds, smells, and stimuli to appeal to them in the gulley below.

GlitterRose Posted November 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2017 For some reason, I was reading cutoff title as if the voters were polling highest for Nessie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, of course there is. Any self-respecting sea monster has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightScreams Posted November 19, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I liked the River Monster's episode regarding this. He suggested Nessie might have been an Greenland Sleeper Shark as others have before him. He made some good points on that episode. The whole Nessie going through portals thing has been tossed around but lacks any foundation to even consider it some remote possibility but it would explain all the other cryptids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Monk Posted November 19, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 19, 2017 You can't say for definite that Nessie is supernatural. It could be entirely natural, like a plesiosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essan Posted November 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If Nessie is real, its as likely to be a plesiosaur as Father Christmas is a Tyrannosaurus Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Monk Posted November 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I like the poll results. According to the poll, most Britons believe in the supernatural, more than a third claim to have seen a ghost, while half say they know someone who has witnessed some form of ghostly apparition.

Myles Posted November 20, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I assume this was a popularity contest. Not surprising the Loch Ness Monster won. The famous pic, which has since been proved a hoax, was a pic I remembered being fascinated with since I was a little kid. Unfortunately, this is one mystery that that is very unlikely to be real.
