I saw it once. Most haunting memory of my life. I was on a boat, then it raised its long neck out of the water. I was terrified. The monster came over to me, bent over and said..”I need about three fiddy.”

That Mrs Moffat she gets on all the documentaries, bless her. I met her when i visited Loch ness about twenty years ago and i also met Adrian Shine too, a real gent. Long live Nessie whatever she is, she makes life more interesting.

I believe that it's very possible the Loch Ness monster exists. I keep an open mind about things like this, because I realize there's so much in this world that we haven't yet discovered. And if Nessie does exist, she's probably most likely a plesiosaur, left over from the dinosaur ages.

I paused the video and left finding Nessie is my one big dream and if someone say Nessies fake it will crush my spirit and I will be depressed

I just read this amazing book today about dragon stories and dinosaurs, and it made me in the mood to watch stuff like this, lol. I think the Loch Ness in fact really is a plesiosaur because there have been sightings of the same kind of creatures in similar lakes around the world, including in Australia. I've seen a real picture of an old Aboriginal drawing of a large creature that no doubt is a plesiosaur, and the only logical explanation is that the Aboriginals saw a real plesiosaur.

So you can't see air, but you breathe it everyday. I would love to go to Scotland and visit there. People said giant squid didn't exist either. Oh but wait, they do!

When Roy Mackal had organized a sonar sweep of the entire loch, they did not find any large creature. What they did find was a series of vast underwater cave entrances in the side of the loch facing the ocean. Small children playing on a hill near Urquohart Castle noted fissures in the grassy rock. They said that at times one could hear splashing and roars from far below through them. It is possible Nessie is a cave dwelling creature that ventures out into the Loch once in a while.

I like how so many people come up with theories about me.

All I do is travel through underwater tunnels, so I can be in any lake at any time.

My friends say that it's a dinosaur that was protected by the meteors underwater

If that's the road she was driving on, those are some pretty precise measurements; she said she glanced at it 4 or 5 times. Those would have to be quick glances or she would go over the edge of the road if she wasn't careful.

Although its a fun myth one would think with the technology this world has now we can just use a device to find out if its real once and for all.

[johnwilson]

Every time someone sees part of it it disappears so in my expert opinion I think it's a douyouthinktheysawus

[yneshAshanti]

Wait. If you've seen something you can't explain, you don't then go on and conclude that it's a grey, plesiosaur-like creature that is definitely the loch ness monster.

The ridicule that anyone comes in for if they tell their story (evidenced in this column) no doubt makes some people just decide, "Nah, skip it; not worth being called a looney the rest of my life".

[BaysOfThunder]

NESSIE?! YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER?!?! ;)

[supermomandj]

+LEGOguy2017 they have and found nothing but there are still many secrets of the world

No joke but my grandfather who went fishing on Lake Ness (Loch Ness) saw a massive eel that looked up to 6 feet wide but he thought it was some other bass, there wasn't any bass in the lake. That was the last day we went fishing there. So the Loch Ness Monster is real.

The bumps are caused from boats, from a lower angle they appear as solid humps ( illusions )

[sassbsassb]

Inside the water’s in my toilet there’s a monster name “ messie”

[calvingrey]

Yes please. I just got through watching the episode in which he went there.
