Meet Nessie the Lochness monster

Hey, it's me! and I am back as promised. Have you ever visited Lochness[lake] in Scotland? You might have heard about a monster living inside the lake.

Nessie, a large marine creature believed by some people to inhabit Loch Ness, Scotland.
Much of the alleged evidence supporting its existence has been discredited, and it is widely thought that the monster is a myth.

First sighting:
The first written account appears in a biography of St. Columba from 565 AD[so many years ago]. According to that work, the monster bit a swimmer and was prepared to attack another man when Columba intervened, ordering the beast to “go back.”[what a wonderful monster]. It obeyed, and over the centuries only occasional sightings were reported. So this is not enough to prove a monster living under the lake.

In 1933 the Loch Ness monster’s legend began to grow. At the time, a road adjacent to Loch Ness was finished, offering an unobstructed view of the lake. In April a couple saw an enormous animal crossing the road.
In December 1933 the Daily Mail commissioned Marmaduke Wetherell, a big-game hunter, to locate the sea serpent. It seems along the lake’s shores, he found large footprints that he believed belonged to “a very powerful soft-footed animal about 6 meters long.”After close inspection, they found it was the footprints of a hippopotamus.

1934 English physician Robert Kenneth Wilson photographed the alleged creature. The iconic image—known as the “surgeon’s photograph”—appeared to show the monster’s small head and neck. Many speculated that the creature was a plesiosaur. So is it true that the monster exists?? 
Nope, in 1994 it was revealed that Wilson’s photograph was a hoax spearheaded by a revenge-seeking Wetherell.[ never try to get revenge].
Then continued to be some occasional sightings.
Surgeon`s photograph


So, what could be that the people saw? so here is my conclusion in 2018 researchers conducted a DNA survey of Loch Ness to determine what organisms live in the waters. No signs of a plesiosaur or other such large animal were found, though the results indicated the presence of numerous eels. This finding left open the possibility that the monster is an oversized eel.




But then due to Nessie Scotland has made millions of dollars.
