Loch Ness, located in northwest Scotland is twenty-four miles
long and reaches 788 feet down at its deepest point. Its water
is said to be extremely dark, at times even black. Its depth and
darkness give it an aura of mystery. Human beings are said to
fear what they do not know, but fear and intense curiosity are
feelings inspired by the lake for another reason: there may be a
monster living in its depths. The Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie,
as it has been nicknamed, is among the most well-known urban
legends of modern times and it is among the greatest points of
interest for cryptozoologists – scientists who study animals
that have not been proven to exist. The History of the Loch Ness
Monster The first documented sighting of Nessie was in the year
565 when Saint Columba saved a swimmer from becoming its dinner.
For nearly 1500 years following, the Loch Ness Monster had
appeared in stories, but it is unknown which ones were
eyewitness accounts and which ones were invented solely for
entertainment purposes. Leg
