The Loch Ness goes back to ancient times. I hope it’ll never be discovered because humans are evil. I do believe in such creatures. A couple of years ago (true story), my parents went fishing at a lake here in Minnesota (USA) and saw something big, long, and black in the river; it looked like a black log but have fins flapping around. Other people saw it too. Everyone there panicked and raced to their cars.

I was in the US Air Force in England circa 1981. The BBC used to broadcast the news at 9pm. They would always run a teaser just before 9 at the end of whatever program that was on before that. We lived in a dorm on base and there'd always be TV's on while we did whatever we were doing. One night, there were 4 or 5 people in my room and the TV was on. It was also on in our dayroom, which was a communal relaxing room on the floor. ANYWAY,,,,,the teaser for the news came on. It totally blew us away. There in front of us on the TV was footage,,,,not video,,but film,,,taken from inside an RAF helicopter over a shallow area of Loch Ness. The guys in the copter were yelling and the camera was pointing below them. You could see the wash from the propeller on the water and in the middle of it was a creature. It looked like a small dinosaur,,,it had four flippers, a long neck and a somewhat short tail. It was thrashing about in a panic under the helicopter. The footage was real. They didn't have CGI back then, the inside of the copter was real,,,the men were yelling, the noise was loud,,,and the scene on the water was real. The announcer was saying something to the effect that the RAF had found Nessie and details would follow at 9. Of course we all freaked out. We watched at 9 and absolutely nothing was said. We were completely perplexed. Many people saw the clip,,,I know of at least two of my superiors who contacted the BBC and the RAF and no one seemed to know anything. We'd all seen it. I met locals who saw it as well. There was no internet then,,,no phones to text with,,,,so word couldn't get around like we can do today. I talked to people about it for weeks and many people saw it. The story faded away and one can only wonder what the hell happened. Over the years I have talked to people who remember it. But for me,,,,the creature,,whatever it is, exists.

It's fins were small in size, as well as it's eyes. It appeared, to almost be the same size as our bass boat (Length/Width) This fish literally floated up, without making any water flash. It used it's fins, to remain afloat, for bout 20 sec.... (3 ft next to boat). No signs of aggression. It lower its body downward, only leaving very little water impressions of its body. I didn't feel afraid, just surprised. It was big enough, to swallow me. My husband did not see it, He fished off into a boulder of rocks.... It looked similar, to a catfish. MONSTER SIZE!

That looks to me like it could be a seal or a small whale. Doesn't the river ness which connects to the loch, also go to the sea? Is it possible that marine mammals are occasionally getting in by accident then finding their way back out? That would account for the legends of strange creatures (to locals who don't live on the sea) that nobody can seem to find (because there is not a breeding population in the loch) and that years can go by without anyone seeing anything? I've read that a few honest level headed Scots who live around there have reported seeing something in the Loch they can't explain and these are people who reluctantly come forward and really don't want to talk at all. Sharks (eg. greenland sharks) don't swim on the surface in a way that fits the reports, there are no living plesiosaurs (extinct marine reptile from the Age Of Dinosaurs) and eels don't get big enough nor swim on the surface. Reptiles could not even live in the loch, the water is too cold for them. What's left? Marine mammals from the Atlantic Ocean! Outside animals coming in on rare occasions seems to be the only scenario that fits.

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

Only a small fraction of Earth's Bodies of Water have been explored so there is no way to confirm that Plesiosaurus or any other prehistoric creatures no longer exist. There have been prehistoric fish that where thought to be extinct until they were discovered washed up onto shores. Seals are not the size of whales and whales cannot survive in Fresh water.

@@Servellion Bull Sharks can survive in both fresh and salt water. We know very little about Greenland Sharks and the first time one was caught on film was only about 20 years ago. I think it's plausible that Nessie is a (several even?) Greenland Shark, that has managed to adapt over it's hundreds of years of life to fresh water. Search online for Jeremy Wade's River Monsters programme, he give's his reasons why he think Nessie could be a Greenland Shark also.

[@gaz0463]

I used to work for Adrian Shine during the 1980s. He did all the scientific research into the biology of Loch Ness and, at that time, lead the search for Nessie. I helped setup and conduct Operation Deep Scan in the mid 80s. We set up a flotilla of boats each equipped with sonar. We lined the boats up side by side across the width of the loch to form a curtain of sonar. We also had backup boats, each with sonar, to confirm any sonar contacts we made. We then set off from Lochend to Fort Augustus and back again. We detected nothing that could’ve been considered Nessie/Monster. The one larger contact we did get on our 1st run down the Loch but couldn’t be verified by the backup boats and was never detected again, even on our return run. It was considered a sonar artefact/error. Adrian always said to me there wasn’t enough food, in the way of fish etc, to sustain a population of animals as big as Nessie was reported to be. There is no plesiosaurs living in Loch Ness.

@Ching Vang Kinda gotta prove they exist first before saying they're the cause of Nessie sightings. Though I do remember a book from years ago that had Nessie being the result of a boggart that really liked taking that shape and staying in it for extended periods of time. Children's book, naturally, so not a good scientific basis.

That's what I've been saying for years . Its probably something that's coming in from the sea and going back out again. Like Carborosaurus for instance. These creatures carcasses have been washed up on beaches around the world. Which makes me think it could be a migratory creature.

cadborosaurus. Great point!

[@keithblaenshet5041]

@@coppulor6500 When I was studying Parapsychology I read a report about two men who were fishing off the rocks on the Isle of Soay in Scotland. One of these creatures surfaced and came towards them hissing at them . They reported it as have a long neck and a head like a goat . The inside of its mouth was red ,and it had flippers front and back . As one of these creatures has been seen in Scotland that's what makes me wonder whether this is what's being seen in Loch Ness. A Plesiosaur. I dont think so . They were air breathing creatures. It would be seen more often when it came to the surface to breath.

One theory on the Loch Ness is that it’s a Greenland shark. One, they can swim in freshwater. Two, they grow to the massive size of 24ft. And looking at this picture it looks very similar to a Greenland shark at the surface. Not particularly a believer but it’s interesting.

[@17MrLeon]

People dont realize how large catfish can be. Just google catfish images and this skin contour is identical.

[@EastEndBandit]

[@KidTitan]

The newer photo looks like it could be more of a mosasaur.

[@The.RAGE.Master]

Nah, a mosasaurus would average between 30 and 60 feet, they were fucking HUUUUUGE, no way in hell Loch Ness could support a mosasaur but a plesiosaurus? Absolutely. They only averaged between 10-15 feet in length. Plus the curvature of its back suggests something with a build more similar to a plesiosaur.

[@roobix9425]

It has to be a Greenland Shark, after watching the River Monsters episode about Loch Ness it just makes sense. Even the back of the creature and the colouration looks like a Greenland Shark.

[@lewisgiles1006]

almost exactly the colour, and greenland sharks also have their dorsal fin at the back and its quite small so even that makes sense

[@whiteandblackzebra7005]

[@brianterry8317]

The Loch could have been used as a breeding area. Scientists do believe the Greenland Shark migrates and uses areas like this globally for breeding. This could be areas near the Sea such as River inlets or Fjords . A Greenland Shark was found washed up on the Northumberland coast,so they are a native species to Britain

There is no way its a single creature. Its likely an entire species as there are mysteries of the same time of creature in other places as well. It may be that there aren't a lot of the species because they don't breed often, are shy or scared of humans and live underwater most of the time.
