The Nessie is the nickname of the strange creature which exists (or supposed to exist) in the lochness lake and hence is also known by the more popular name of the lochness monster. The history of Nessie sightings can be traced back to as far as the 7th century A.D. wherein a local Saint of the region by the name St Columba is believed to have interacted with the monster by giving him orders not to touch human beings after a man was slaughtered by the beast.
Coming a bit further in history close to our own era, the earliest sightings were described in the year 1933 when two different sightings were reported by different people and their description was roughly the same and on both these occasion the creature was seen loitering on the road but ran into the loch after getting discovered. There have been several such sightings by different people after that in that area.
Though many of these accounts were mere verbal descriptions they cannot be relied upon with surety, yet many people came up with photographs and videos at different points of time. Many of these photos were later on found to be having some sort of deliberate or unintentional flaw which gave the impression of the monster while in reality they were other objects or animals, yet all was not over. Given below is one such popular picture known as the surgeon’s photograph which was later found to be fake and it was named so because it was taken by a doctor. You can also click here to see a self proclaimed Nessie video which shows something moving beneath the water. Obviously such videos can excite the believers to assume that it is the monster and hence help to spread the word about Nessie, but apart from these amateur findings there has been some serious study going on as well as you will see next.
