Does the Loch Ness Monster exist ?

Start looking into the phenomenon of the Loch Ness Monster and you cannot help but stir up controversy. Nessie is one of the most iconic symbols of Scotland and every year thousands of tourists make the trip to the banks of Loch Ness.

But the question of what is, or isn't, beneath the deep mysterious waters of the loch has given rise to feuds, rivalries, forgeries and even bombings.

As much scrutiny and observation that Loch Ness has recieved in the last 50 years or so, someone would have produced some sort of hard evidence by now.

My opinion:

The LNM is not real, it may have been at one time, but not now.

I'm unsure, because there might be something we've missed no matter how small that could prove or disprove it's existance.

But still for me i'm not sure what to believe if it has lived or it still does, but i do believed it has exisisted at some point.

I always like the entertain the idea that it exist just to keep up the mystery. It does look like after all this time there would be one picture or something to at least keep up the chance that it is real.

all the interest in the lochness monster has been stirred up by that new toyota commercial that has a very good CGI of what the monster could look like

Does the Loch Ness Monster exist ?

I think so or atleast open to the possibility,... after all not all of the waters at loch ness or all of the worlds oceans for that matter have bin fully explored!

I want nothing more than for a Bigfoot riding on Nessie's back to be well lit by a low hovering UFO, but for the size of Loch Ness and the supposed size of nessie I just dont see her existing. Now SEA monsters, I still hold out hope for. But Nessie...not so much.

Ride em' Nessie Yeehaw!

On a serious note. Did Nessie existed? Sure, we have Plesiasaur fossils to say the least. Are they still living? I have my doubts, but unknown animals are still being discovered in this day and age. I could be wrong to say they no longer reign among us.

If you do some research on the searches for Nessie you'd see that almost all of these searches are in the spring and fall. Now do some research on the eye witness accounts. You will see that Nessie is almost always seen during the summer. The Lock appears to be it's "summer home". It seems to be a migratory creature. Now most people don't know about the many under water caverns and underwater water ways that lead directly into the ocean, including the researches themselves obviously. This is why Nessie has been hard to find. Now if you look into all of the other Nessies around the world you'd probably come up with the same circumstances. But, I'd rather NONE of these creatures would ever be found. You can just imagine what researcher and scientists would do to them. They would most likely kill off most of them as soon as they were found. Where would that leave us? Pretty much in the same place except they would still be alive and well.

I dont understand it we have found other planets far away of our system but we haven't found if there is this monster,contraditory isn't it?

I think Nessie is a myth, like the Kelpie. early reports of Nessie describe a horse-like creature, but modern reports have more reptile and dinosaur-like-appearances. it appears the legends of kelpies have evolved into the present legends of lake-monsters. reflecting a more realistic appearance since the discovery of dinosaurs and aquatic reptiles. and because of the high peat content, loch ness does not have enough food to support animals as big as a plesiosaur, particularly a breeding population of plesiosaurs... IMO

I believe Nessie is real. I'm only part Scottish, but i believe science can't always be the answer. That's just my thoughts though.

There could be things we don't know about lurking deep in the bottom of Loch Ness, not saying it's nessie, but the loch is extremely and very deep. Has anyone managed to get to the bottom of it yet?

A while ago. They found a new species of crab down there.

a real mystery! after over 50 years and still no concrete evidence yet!

like to believe but i think nessie like the whale he or she just travel over the world not just a scottie breed

I think people are seeing something in the loch. If it is something living and BIG, like a prehistoric saurian, (I can't spell Plesiasour-at least I don't think I can) it would have to be like one of the other guys posted, a regular visitor to the loch since there isn't enough food there to support a breeding population. Maybe they go there to make or have babies.

If it is something that lives in the Loch all the time it has to be something like Roy Mackell's giant eel, or a sturgeon.

Personally, the only lake monster I'm pretty sure exists is Champ. Of course I'm not going to go swimming in any of the supposed monster lakes.

Take care...

The main problem with the migratory theory is that, in order to get into the Loch, it would have to go through the locks downstream. That means that it would have to go through the relatively small chambers and not be seen by the captains, pilots, and lockmen who have to make absolutely sure that the boats are positioned safely and that there is nothing that might threaten them, such as an errant tree trunk or something, and remain unseen for the half an hour it would take to simply fill the lock. The chances of missing a twenty to thirty foot aquatic creature are pretty small.

i found this pic. supposidly an old picture of some lake monster, not sure which one but its cool
