Loch Ness Monster.
I bet you people might be knowing about the creature believed to be inhabiting in Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Popular interest and belief in the animal has fluctuated since it was brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is largely anecdotal, with minimal and much disputed photographic material and sonar readings.The scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, and explains sightings as a mix of hoaxes and wishful thinking. Despite this, it remains one of the most famous examples of cryptozoology. It has been cutely referred to been nessie.
So do you guys believe in her, and think that all the things are just an hoax..? got anything proof or whatever articles or anything legible for debating it's existense this is the right place, just do not spam and go off-topic and respect each others opinion. |
Well, personally. I don't think it exists. But it is possible seeing how theres new things being discovered all the time. But until a reasonable legit photo shows up that isn't blurry, i might change my mind.
|
I believe Nessie exists. I mean, they just discovered like, 41 new species of frogs in the Amazon that they had no clue even existed. Plus the several thousand leatherback (or was it lager head?) sea turtles they found on a beach in Gabon? We don't know half as much as what we think we do about this world.
Every time we think we know something, Nature laughs in our faces and throws us another curve ball. Nessie's out there. |

Numerous expeditions have been launched, and none have found concrete proof of the monster's existence, and along with the fact that the creature would be at least seventy years old by now if the earliest sighting is to be believed I can see no way for the Loch Ness Monster to exist. |
I haven't read much into it, myself, but I think it's plausible that Nessie does- or at least did- exist. I would have to see what such things would have eaten, though. that's a big indicator, especially for such a big beastie.
|
There have been a lot of evidences but at the same time lot of hoaxes to, and scientists deny it's existense either they can't accept being unable to make out a thing or they actually know it doesn't exist .
Btw anyone know about surgeons photo..? the first ever evidence. |
Today in our modern era, it's hard to believe on " beliefs " since many people now are messing around and that's what drives people away into believing on something. Anyway, just like me who has been affected by those hoaxes, I 50% believe, 50% not.
If I can see some solid proofs, that'll boost my belief. :D |

What if the lake has caves? Just saying. But yeah I dunno it could it could not exist or exist. I'm more of a believer only cause I believe in the supernatural.
|
and I'll be going to the three bears' house with goldilocks in half an hour. lol, just a joke. but seriosuly, lochness monster does not exist imo, it's just like I used as an example, a fairytale. for starters, loch ness in scotland is a tiny place that only happened to exist. it could just be a rumour some resident of the lonely place made up to get some fame for the poor place. also, nobody, obviously, have ever seen one. I don't really know much about this sort of thing, but all I do know is that if it did exist, it would surely be hunted down by so many keen yet foolish people to believe it. |
I've hunted long and hard for it, and I finally found it. I even snapped a photo of it.

Well don't know about you guys, okay i admit it won't be able to survive such a cold place, that's what the researchers and all say, but what if it's something else..? i mean it can be a different type of fish or something.. cause long ago i remember a squid getting caught which was quite big and is one of it's kind and earned him the name " The Giant Squid ", i still hope that nessie does exist.
and Lol you Fox♠ |
I don't actually really have a solid opinion on this but... I think it would be really cool if 'she' existed.
It would be so... different and exciting. Do you think they would have tourist rides? :D |

I thought maybe you could have a ride on Nessie and maybe get a T-shirt at the gift shop afterwards, saying 'I went for a tourist ride on Nessie' or something. :D Just an idea.
|
"20 men with binoculars and cameras were positioned around the Loch from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., starting 13 July 1934 and running for five weeks."
That must have been a barrel of laughs! XD I don't really have an opinion on this. I don't think it exists now, but I have no reason to doubt that it could have existed. There is a very low chance that it is alive now. But, in the 1800's 1900's, who knows! |
I livez in Scotland! - shot -
I for one, am on the fence for this. I I dont really fhave an opinion on Nessie. |
Yeah maybe it did exist and must have died soon.. coz we know that not all the creatures were wiped away in the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event some survived as in being crocs and alligs and other things.
|
If nessie really exist, i bet that it's some kind of long-living dinosaur.
|
Ofcourse it's from the dino age.. probably an amphibian, cause it's said that amphibians survived the meteor crash.

I believe that there is a nessie, it's invisible and it breathes air every 5 weeks and 1 day, how cool is that theory then? |
Quote:
Oh, and regarding the photos: all of them have been proved to be hoaxes. |
i believe in nessie....but of course it may just be wishful thinking on my part...but i did see a thing on tv where they did a huge search using lots of boats and sonar and things like that...and they said that they found nothing....so idk...i hope nessie is real...cause that would be cool..

Obviously, most people these days would only believe if they see it. I, however, am a believer.
Everyday, scientists learn and discover new things. Something like this just doesn't happen after hundreds of experiments, or years of research. I really can't support the existence of the Loch Ness Monster with all my heart, but I can also say that just because a group of smart, old men states that such things don't exist, does that make me think the same thing? I mean, just know, they discovered a prehistoric fossil of something that was related to us Humans, which could be the missing link between Humans and Apes. I'm sure that decades ago, scientists was saying that such thing was impossible, but today or yesterday, something actually proved them wrong. What would say that such thing won't happen again to the Loch Ness Monster? |
Loch. Loch Ness Monster.
Are you saying that the old guys do make you believe it, or they don't? I can't tell. |
Well, some people beleived the loch ness monster was just elephants swimming, but since elephants don't live in scotland, they scratched that out. I beleive that the loch ness monster exists, and we might have not had solid proof yet because humans can't go more then 30 feet under the water or they are crushed by the water pressure, so the loch ness monster might live really deep in the water and only come out and get food or see the sun or something.
I myself beleive that the myth is real though. |
Quote:
Belief is not proof as you all say, but scientific evidence also does not proof that nessie isn't real, i believe by the next decade we should have scientific evidence too, and ok if she doesn't exist so who was underneath the water whenever people sighted something ok even if not ness, couldn't it be something else..? |
I think Nessie is a link between our previous Aquatic Dinosaurs in the Jurassic Era...
Because of the recent proofs that this... Thing... Exists, i don't think it's still a hoax... P.S. - It might be in your ordinary Village lake... :) |
No one can deny that the cave paintings done by ancient Celtic people look extremely similar to the Dinosaurs we "know" to have lived millions of years before humans did.
I think this truth can settle this argument quite nicely. Will we cover our ears and simply believe Science's "facts" or will we see that we actually understand and know so little? Science has been wrong more than once, even with so called facts. |
Well, there has been many theories in how a huge plesiosaurs have gotten in the loch(and survive the disaster in the Late Cretaceous period) . Like after the melting of the glaciers that eventually forms the loch, the surviving plesiosaurs then travels the gap that joins the loch to the sea. And it managed to escape detention over the eons. But it's a theory, not a fact. But there are many scientific findings over the past years, which includes the corpse of a mysterious thing which has been discovered accidentally by a Jap fishing boat over the loch. Those findings can be promising.
I still believe there's something big lurking beneath that loch. And never argue with me. It's just my opinion. |
I literally laughed when I saw this thread.
Nessie is merely a myth, a tourist attraction for Inverness. All of the pictures above have been proved as hoaxes - as mentioned by various other people. It's very unlikely that there is a creature of said proportions lurking in the lake. Whether or not people have found "unusual artefacts;" it's still no proof that there is in fact a Loch Ness Monster. Plus, people dig up bizarre things all the time (this is directed at Rigel), so why would one thing from a loch with a supposed monster in it be any different? It's not. But then again, all of this is just my opinion on the matter, not attempting to start an argument, I'm just justifying my point. So, all in all, no, I do not believe the Loch Ness Monster exists. (And yeah, I'm Scottish.) |

NESSIE IS CLEARLY A HE. KTHXBAI
I don't believe in Nessie, it's just not possible. Nessie would have to breed with another plesiosaurus, assuming theres at least 3 different plesiosaurs out there in the same lake. Don't forget how much they were supposed to eat, and to be honest, the quantity is huge. So, yeah. Edit: Quote:

The photo looks odd.
The creature has an odd cut-off aswell. Where it meets the sea, I mean. I don't believe. |
It's an elephant, as I say. Nothing odd about it.
Those who think it's actually Nessie... those are the weirdos. |
nope i don't believe, from what i understand, Loch ness isn't that big. So how would it Harbor a population of giant animals. Food would run out and the gene pool too small and it would die off, even if it was there, it wouldn't have made it this long.
|
Well i do believe in it but then no if it was real it might be extinct already you never know maybe there is a whole bunch of ness eggs at the bottom of the lake you never know
|

And besides, the pressure of the lake would crush them. |
Yeah... no. It's definitely not real. Honestly, someone needs to find some sort of conclusive evidence.
