The unproven mystery of Loch Ness Monster

1. Loch Ness Monster
The Loch Ness Monster

2. The Loch Ness monster, also called “Nessie”, is
a creature that is supposed to live in Loch
Ness, the largest lake in northern Scotland.

3. Here is where Nessie is
expected to live.

4. Cryptids are creatures presumed extinct, hypothetical species, or
creatures known from anecdotal evidence and/or other evidence
insufficient to prove their existence with scientific certainty.
Nessie is a cryptid.

8. Is Nessie a hoax or is it true?
Since Roman times the legend of a mysterious sea
creature has been alive
through numerous sightings of the animal.

9. Here are a few discoveries of
Nessie that have been proved
Hoax.

10. The Edwards Photo, 2012
George Edwards, skipper of a Loch Ness
tour boat, produced an image of a dark
hump in the water.

11. •He claimed that the photo
had been examined by a team
of US military experts, who
declared there was no doubt it
showed an "animate object."
•But a little over a year later,
Edwards confessed the photo
was a fake. It actually showed
a fiberglass hump created for a
2011 National Geographic
documentary

12. The Loch Ness Tooth(2005)

13. The Loch Ness Fossil (2003)

14. The Loch Ness Muppet (1977)

15. Nessiteras Rhombopteryx

16. The most famous picture of
the loch Ness monster,
taken in 1933, is in fact a
fake… Dr Kenneth Wilson
confessed just before his
death that it was a hoax.

17. •Several engineer and
scientist did expedition to
search Nessie, Tim
Dinsdale, an aeronautical
engineer did 56 expeditions
between 1960 and 1987.
• All of the pictures on
which he was sure to see
Ness, have been described
as simple boat’s pictures.

18. Proof that Nessie is Real..

20. •Beginning with an
explanation of the
origin of belief in the
monster, and the
myths and deception
surrounding the story,
this volume surveys
the eyewitness
evidence, reviews the
most notorious
reports, as well as
photos and
instrumental
evidence.

22. There are several theories about what
Nessie could be.
Nessie could be a plesiosaur,
which is a long-necked
aquatic reptile that is defined
as extinct.

23.  Here is a drawing of two pleisiosaurs.
• One important thing, apart
from the disappearance of
this race, is against this
hypothesis:
the plesiosaur was probably a
cold-blooded reptile requiring
warm tropical waters, while
the average temperature of
Loch Ness is only about
5.5°C.
• Also even if the plesiosaurs
were warm-blooded, they
would require a food supply
beyond that of Loch Ness to
maintain the level of activity
necessary for warm-blooded
animals

24. Nessie could be a long-necked seal.
Several scientists supported this theory but
however, the seal are actually visible on
land during daylight to sunbathe, and
Nessie was never known to do that.

25. • Nessie may be a giant eel. Scientists
believe that an eel might have grossly
enlarged in order to eat the bigger fish, or
that a larger eel species could inhabit the
loch.
• But, once again, a detail destroy the
theory, eels are not known to protrude
from the water as described in some
sightings.

26. Nessie could be a giant
invertebrate, and cited the
extinct Tullimonstrum as an
example of the shape, but
this hypothesis hasn’t been
accepted by a lot of people
as it is simple speculations.

27. • Also told that Nessie are associated
with the old legends of kelpie, which is
a supernatural and fantastic water
horse from Celtic folklore that is
believed to haunt the rivers and lakes
of Scotland and Ireland.
•It generally has grayish black fur, and
will appear to be a lost pony, but can
be identified by its constantly dripping
mane.
• Its skin is like that of a seal but is
deathly cold to the touch. A scientist
claims that the accounts of loch
monsters have changed over the ages,
originally describing a horse
appearance; they claimed that the
"kelpie" would come out of the lake
and turn into a horse.
•When a tired traveler would get on
the back of the kelpie, it would gallop
into the loch and devour its prey. This
myth successfully kept children away
from the loch, as was its purpose.

28. Conclusion
 Rumors of a huge animal living
in the loch have existed for
centuries – since 565. Some
believers have argued that a
lengthy history of monster
sightings in the loch provides
evidence of the creature's
existence but it may be an
invention.
 Some sightings are cases of
misidentified deer or boat
wakes, and of course, there
have been several hoaxes.
There are some sightings,
however, which cannot be
easily explained.
 As a conclusion I’d say that if
you want to be convinced, I let
you go to the Loch Ness lake
and see by yourself if the big
shape moving under water is,
or not, the legendary monster.
 Actually I’d prefer to stay there
in safety, with this little doubt
inside my head…
