    I visited Loch Ness back in 1986 as part of my quest to meet Jimmy Page (he owned the Boleskin House, former residence of Aleister Crowley, on the banks of the bonnie loch), & although I failed to meet the legendary guitarist (I was literally chased off the property by a large, bearded man who emerged from the toolshed, shaking his fist & cursing me) I DID really enjoy the experience of exploring the area. Just below the Boleskin House was an old cemetery with elaborate headstones dating all the way back to the 1500s, & I met a colorful character, a weathered old man with a roadmap of wrinkles on his face & calloused hands, throwing back pints of lager at the local pub, who told me stories of the many times he had encountered Nessie, going all the way back to his childhood. Or at least I THINK that's what he was telling me. Between his thick Scottish accent & the fact that he was stumbling drunk, aside from an occasional "Nessie" & "monster," I could barely understand a word he said! The barkeep stood behind the long wooden bar, drying off pint glasses & shaking his head, as if to say, "You'll be sorry you got him going." But I wasn't. I could tell the old guy really enjoyed telling his tall tales to the tourists, that he was energized by the opportunity to recount them once again, to me, so I was happy to oblige. I kind of hate that modern technology has disproved the local folklore. Some things are better left a mystery, for all to enjoy.

The rain and fog never let up for a minute and it was bloody cold, with the fog, Nessy could have been sitting next to my tent and I would never have seen her.

      Yes. You use you fist or fingers to feel around in the murky, muddy waters near banks and undercuts to get the fish to grab you. Catfish are good eating but they are real scavengers. There is a lake here in Texas, called Canyon Lake, that was formed when a town was literally flooded to create it, and scuba training classes used to train there, because it had buildings and abandoned automobiles down at the bottom. I had some friends who swear there were catfish the size of couches under there. I had heard it before, and apparently, it's true. My friend actually got scared out of diving because they were so huge and would just try to eat anything...

    Not to mention that the pliesiosaur would've had to survive the the massive ice cap that covered Scotland in the ice ages. Actually, Loch Ness is along an ancient fault that was gauged out by glaciers and was created as they melted. Most lakes aren't very old on a geological timescale. I really wish we could see some of the amazing marine reptiles that lived before the KPG mass extinction, but I don't think the beach would be fun. Giant eels sound super scary too!

    Fun fact, there's a lake monster in Lake Champlain in New York, named Champ. Who happens to sound a whole lot like Nessie. But reports of it go back to the ancient natives. It's interesting, that the descriptions of these 2 are so similar despite being from 2 entirely different cultures

    • @TheDeadman419
      @TheDeadman419 Před rokem

      There are actually dozens of lake monster stories all over the world. I think it has to do with the human imagination. You see something in the water out of the corner of your eye, you only catch a quick glimpse of some movement, some splashing, then it’s gone. You have no idea what it was and you only have one or two mental images that are already blurring in your brain. You assume it’s something mysterious and unnatural so your mind begins to distort your memory to the point where you honestly believe you saw a monster.
      I’ve had the same experience with a UFO. I saw a large metallic shape one early morning outside my window, got only a half second glimpse of it, and to this day I can only picture it as a flying saucer, even though I don’t really remember exactly what I saw. It’s like there’s a hole in my memory and so my brain just inserts the image of a 1950’s cheesy Hollywood UFO to make up for it.

    I was in the US Air Force in England circa 1981. The BBC used to broadcast the news at 9pm. They would always run a teaser just before 9 at the end of whatever program that was on before that. We lived in a dorm on base and there'd always be TV's on while we did whatever we were doing. One night, there were 4 or 5 people in my room and the TV was on. It was also on in our dayroom, which was a communal relaxing room on the floor. ANYWAY,,,,,the teaser for the news came on. It totally blew us away. There in front of us on the TV was footage,,,,not video,,but film,,,taken from inside an RAF helicopter over a shallow area of Loch Ness. The guys in the copter were yelling and the camera was pointing below them. You could see the wash from the propeller on the water and in the middle of it was a creature. It looked like a small dinosaur,,,it had four flippers, a long neck and a somewhat short tail. It was thrashing about in a panic under the helicopter. The footage was real. They didn't have CGI back then, the inside of the copter was real,,,the men were yelling, the noise was loud,,,and the scene on the water was real. The announcer was saying something to the effect that the RAF had found Nessie and details would follow at 9. Of course we all freaked out. We watched at 9 and absolutely nothing was said. We were completely perplexed. Many people saw the clip,,,I know of at least two of my superiors who contacted the BBC and the RAF and no one seemed to know anything. We'd all seen it. I met locals who saw it as well. There was no internet then,,,no phones to text with,,,,so word couldn't get around like we can do today. I talked to people about it for weeks and many people saw it. The story faded away and one can only wonder what the hell happened. Over the years I have talked to people who remember it. But for me,,,,the creature,,whatever it is, exists.

      I do want 2 mention that, if I remember correctly, we’ve only explored abt 5% of the ocean. This means that there’s still a possibility that the Loch Ness Monster exists. Furthermore, scientists recently discovered over a million possible carbon-based alternatives 2 DNA. If the Loch Ness Monster truly does exist, it would have to meet 3 conditions:
      1. It would have 2 have a truly extraordinary camouflaging ability akin 2 that of chameleons (explains why it hasn’t been officially spotted yet)
      2. It would have 2 b based on one of those other nucleic acids (explains why it’s never been spotted in DNA tests)
      3. Its physical characteristics would have 2 allow it 2 survive in extremely cold environments while still being cold blooded (explains why it was never spotted by thermal cameras); maybe it could b using carbon-silicon compounds that make it less susceptible 2 cold environments (silicon can withstand a wider range of temperatures than carbon can)

    I love your videos. I think they're fantastic and educational. I'm not a fan of how shortened they've become. Regardless, I noticed in the video (and have really seen it in the comments) that the drawn picture that you displayed in the video, shows Nessy's eye at the short end. But, the Pict, shows it at the opposite end. With the elongated neck. I only mention this, because I am so curious about "The Loch Ness Monster" and have been since childhood. When I first saw it in a National Geographic Book (in my school's library). Yes, I'm showing my age here. But, that fascination is also why I've subscribed to this channel. I don't know. I mean no disrespect to you or what you're doing. But, one of the main reasons why I always look for your newest videos is your interesting topics and your attention to detail. And truthfully, I hope these past couple of videos, that were shorter than most. Are only because of the topic and not becoming a sign of things to come. Just a fan.

    There IS 'something' in the Loch. A similar loch is found in Africa with the same strange phenomona. This phenomona is a temperature inversion, a cold deep body of water with a warm body of water on top of it. You can get underwater waves effecting the surface. I always felt there had to be 'something' to the credible reports of disturbances in the loch, and this apparantly is it.

      I'm with you laddy, nessie has been alive in folklore for generations, and no matter how much they try and disprove her existence, she will always exist.. that's nessie for ya.

    I hate to be a party pooper, but that photo has been around forever. They have run too many sonic/radar studies in Loch Ness to be counted.
    That's a freaking forearm and hand.

      It's not a forearm and hand, it's a toy. The photographer admitted to it being a toy and you can tell by the ripples being so large compared to the toy.

    When one considers how fast species are disappearing both plant and animal and insect and arachnids, that haven't even been identified before. I believe in Nessie, I can only imagine what is in the depths of deep waters. And the fact that we can't survive in the water without actual help, Sure. Nessie, and BigFoot, can be real!

      Jesus wept, calm down, ffs....you obviously get far too excited over nothing. Seriously, why would you delude yourself into believing any old claim when it's totally illogical and irrational to do so unless there's hard, indisputable evidence that actively supports it?
      As you correctly said yourself, Nessie "can be real". However, "CAN BE REAL" doesn't exactly equate to "IS REAL", does it? By the way, the far side of the moon is made of lemon meringue, and, as I claim that to be true (even without proof), then I fully expect you to believe it. And you probably would.

    Oh, you can believe me that it does exist - I think it has been photographed many times, though it has also been hoaxed. I think the Tim Dinsdale film shows MUCH, and should be studied more.

    As is inevitable, you've removed all the nuance from the mystery. The nessie myth wasn't completely built around one fake photo, and wasn't dispelled by one exposed hoax.
    Just as an example, the pair that exposed the Surgeon's photo are actually Nessie believers, having one of the best eye witness reports out there.
    It's just a bit odd seeing such a big topic reduced down to a bite sized video like this, you barely scratched the surface or plumbed any depths. You're obviously a smart guy and a good communicator. Why not make a much longer video or a series?
