Does anyone believe in the Loch Ness Monster?

[Mezzanine]

Yeah the film of the Big Foot is BS. They guy who filmed it admitted that it was just his buddy in a gorilla suit- pretty funny eh?

are you talking about the video footage of big foot walking? i never heard that one was a fake.

as for ness: they did a special on tlc or one of those networks like it. they showed how easy it was to misinterpret naturally occuring events in the loc.. they showed some footage of the wakes from two boats crossing that looked exactly like some serpent surfacing and diving back down. they also showed a bunch of naturally occuring illusions that the lake can produce. it all has to do with the peat moss. so to answer the question; no, i do not believe in nessie; based on the tlc show and the scientific fact that a creature that size could not survive in that habitat.. i really wish it did exist though, im a fan of cryptozoology.

Yeah, I saw that same show. It was on the History channel program "strange but true?". The underwater photos were bullshit too because the camera the guy had mounted came apart and was just floating around in the water. One of the underwater pictures was a tree stump on the bottom of the ocean. The other was the bottom of the guys boat.

The famous Loch Ness picture was also a fake. For 60 years the picture has been attributed to Colonel Robert Wilson, a Harley Street gynaecologist who had claimed to see something in the water. In the end the monster turned out to be a toy submarine fitted with a head and neck made from plastic wood, The monster in the photo is, in fact, a foot tall and a foot and a half long.

Ok, what about the huge hump that you see in the lake with the wake coming behing it? You have an indication of it's size because that old castle is in the fore ground.

Its waves in the water. It's just an illusion.

There was an hour show about in on the history channel. I bet you could find a transcript of it on yahoo or something.

I saw that as well.....

I think people who want to believe in something, will find a way to see it---thus, illusions...

Naw... this can not be a wave because the wake is actually parting around the object. It is a mass object. Just don't know what.

 

[Mickey Knox]

Send it to me, then I will know which one you are referring to.

I believe there are all sorts of creatures that we are not aware of......but I have a hard time with "lake" monsters because there is only so much room/food ect.......

Heres a link to some pics......http://theshadowlands.net/lochness.htm#ness

I find this stuff very interesting.....anyone else have pics or links?

if only we could get somebody to admit to making up that jesus thing life would be good.

The first picture in that series is the plastic "monster" that was built for the hoax. The second and third are waves on the lake. (which, if you saw the episode you would see how they form and how they create the illusion of something swimming)

And the final pics on that page are the camera that became dislodged from its mounting point and shot the bottom of the lake and the bottom of the guys boat, which was also proved on the history channel show.

As far as believing in sea creatures, I do. But in the ocean mainly, not in lakes. The Oceans are huge and there has to be something down there!

One thing I've always wondered about is crop circles.
