This is known as the surgeon's photograph and is a proven fake.

See above.

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.

PokemonFanatic2 May 20th, 2009 7:34 PM

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.

Sorry for that.. :\

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.

♣Gawain♣ May 21st, 2009 10:02 PM

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.)

You do realise that humans have been to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, which is about 1,200 times as deep as your purported 30 feet limit? Not to mention that men and women have gone much deeper than 30 feet with free-diving. The bottom line is, if you're going to say stuff to make yourself sound smart, make sure it's actually correct before you say it.

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.

That pretty much beat the point of the thread. EMILY = WINNER.

The photo looks odd.
The creature has an odd cut-off aswell. Where it meets the sea, I mean.
I don't believe.

Careful With That Axe, Pichu! May 22nd, 2009 12:18 PM

It's an elephant, as I say. Nothing odd about it.

Those who think it's actually Nessie... those are the weirdos.

Shem May 22nd, 2009 12:20 PM

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.

kingofjokers May 22nd, 2009 4:29 PM

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

The eggs would need some sort of nourishment.
And besides, the pressure of the lake would crush them.

Tinhead Bruce May 25th, 2009 10:48 PM

Yeah... no. It's definitely not real. Honestly, someone needs to find some sort of conclusive evidence.
