I have family that moved to that part of the world. When I was a kid, I believed in Santa. I’m now all grown up, and I believe in Nessie.

[ArranVid]

No, the monster is not always depicted as green. You already had an eyewitness saying that it was an elephant-grey colour in the beginning of the video.

I'm glad to see the eel theory making a blip in these documentaries. The giant Anguilla eel proposal checks a lot of the blocks. Steve Alton's novel The Loch brings this theory to life.

They discuss the Rhine's photo of the flipper, but did not mention the full body shot and the head!

[riaddaniels]

I thought this was an old documentary but then I heard 2019, and August 2023.

We have a telescope that can see 14 billion light years away. We can routinely fly to space and have landed a remote vehicle on Mars but we can’t find a 25ft creature in 800 ft of water… Seriously people, it’s a camp fire story🙄

“Every [Loch Ness show] ends the same: ‘Thanks for watching! We didn’t find shit, but thanks for watching!’ It was a two hour show, and you said something scary was gonna show up! ‘We’ll find him next time’—oh, your not gonna fucking find him next time, either! Why’d you make a new show if you haven’t made any goddamn progress!? It’s the same thing every show, it’s just four different dudes on a boat going, ‘Yeah, he’s not over here, either. I dunno where he is!’”

Don't ever doubt her, for those that see, wish they hadn't, and for those that haven't wish they there. 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍺🍺🍺

Deep cave tunnels to the ocean, Could be why nessie is only seen rarely 🤔

[craigwalker]

Nice Documentary. Don't know weather I believe in it or not but it's Interesting.

I've wanted to believe for so long until it a geologist brought out that when plesiosaurs existed, which they say Nessie is, Scotland was still part of North America, and the loch didn't exist yet. The loch is only about 10, 000 years old. Until someone films it, catches it, or takes a clear picture, Nessie will only exist in my heart.

[Tarathathewookiee]

Possible candidates to be Nessie: The sleeper shark. They are big. They can survive at great depths. They have very low dorsal fins and would be very hard to see at the surface. They live in very cold water. There are lots of eels in the loch to eat. They are a rarely seen creature. Not at all "Snake like" so no explanation there. Another possibility; The Coelacanth. A big solid prehistoric fish. Rare, deep water creature. can survive cold temps. Has triangular rear fins that look a lot like one in the "diamond fin" photo. However, its not known to surface so can rule that out. Nessie could possibly be some type of giant eel. Maybe an unknown type of fresh water moray. They have a low hump, they can grow to impressive sizes. They certainly look snake like. Is it possible for a salt water species to adapt to a cold fresh water environment given enough time? Perhaps. What we do know of Loch Ness: its very deep, very dark and full of places something unknown can hide. Its a mystery. Lets hope it remains so.

Its a freak breed of Eel. Its a proven fact that some eels that do not migrate and "stay put" grow to enormous sizes. Eels love to bask on the surface, and this is why lots of Lochs, rivers, lakes, seas regularly have report sightings of serpents around the world. Furthermore, there was an incident in Loch ness years ago when a diver who was carrying out cable installation in the loch, nervously shot to the surface and reported he was "bumped" by an eel which had the same thickness of girth than his actual body. When i was a young man, i worked on the local Docks in Grimsby, and it was a regular occurrence to come across 6-7 metre Congar eels that had been landed and laid on the pontoon, many were as thick as an adults thigh.

[Toolness]

There's actually a tiny chance a north American ape could exist...there's plenty of room, food sources, etc.
There isn't enough of a food source in Loch Ness to support a breeding population of creatures of that size even if by some miracle some escaped extinction.
Edit: also Loch Ness is only around 10, 000 years old so it's not like some Dinosaur could have escaped extinction there.

A few years ago I was camping in an area close to Bigfoot territory in Ohio near Salt Fork State Park. It was late at night and I had a fire going and was sitting by it reading a book and drinking a beer. Around 11:00 p.m. I heard a strange rustling in the trees behind my tent. Then I heard low guttural growls. I stood up, turned around and as I did a huge hairy creature emerged from the woods not more that 25 feet from me. It stood 8 feet tall and had to weigh in excess of 450 pounds. I stood motionless not knowing what to do when the creature began dictating the narrative. It slowly lifted its right hand and pointed to the beer I was holding in my hand. I immediately realized the beast wanted a COLD beer. And why not? It was at least 85 degrees and so humid you could cut the air with a knife. I popped a brewsky and gave it to him and motioned for him to come sit by my fire.

He capitulated and as we sat by the fire I lit a cigarette. He instantaneously became agitated and started motioning to my mouth and then to his mouth. Damn, the Dude wanted a smoke. So I lit one for Bfoot and we continued socializing, drinking our beer and having a few smokes. Eventually Bfoot's eyelids began to droop. The beer was making him sleepy. He arose, waved goodbye and walked away, whistling as he disappeared into the woods.

I haven't encountered the creature again, but since then I never venture into the woods without my Bud Light and a carton of Marlboros. Hopefully I'll meet the Big Guy again with his wife and children. If so, I hope the kids are at least 21. No way I'm doing time for serving minors. I got a rep to protect.

[LadyThunderbird]

In early 1930s Bertram Mills Circus was in the area, and would of traveled the A82 road that runs alongside the loch that had recently been completed, after a sighting of his indian elephant bathing in the loch had spread and everybody was in a frenzy, he very jovially offered 20.000 pounds to anybody who could catch it for his circus knowing it would never be claimed.

[annoyingarchie]

The nessie sightings are massive eels, its not uncommon for some animals to grow much larger than normal ... there will be eels in there at 10-20 foot long

[ArranVid]

Yes, it does exist. Well, it did exist decades ago, but I am not sure if it exists now. Also, there would perhaps be many of these animals, not just one.

[jdove]

How did he know the "full speed' of something unknown and mysterious?!? 🤔🤔🤔

[idealmethod]

TRUE STORY - so the guy that took the original picture, the famous one, just before he passed away he told the truth, that it was a hoax he made the prop himself. I herd this on the news on the radio back in 89 ish. I remember because i thought to myself aaaww he gave the joke away, but the legend lives on.
