New Video Of The Loch Ness Monster?

For some reason, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster (and cryptozoology in general) has always fascinated me.

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP)—Like tartan, bagpipes, and shortbread Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster is as much an emblem as a tourist draw.

And now Nessie’s back.

An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland’s most mysterious lake.

Click through to see the video.

From what I see, something relatively large is moving under the water.  It’s hard to say how large as there aren’t really any good reference points from which to make a comparison.  But something is there.

What is, obviously, the question.

Comments

Last week, Japanese scientists explaced… placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Cort Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland’s local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.

Dude, I so have Nessie Christmas cards just waiting for Christmas next year.  They rock!

Call me unconvinced.  When i click that “watchers” link, I get sent to a Weight Watchers page.

Now if this were a post about Rosie O’Donnell, that would make sense… but the Loch Ness Monster?

Oh wait, now i get it.  Very funny dude. rasberry

I’m also skeptical.  Loch Ness is fairly dirty--or at least it was a few years back when I was there--and anything more than a couple of feet underwater would be impossible to see.

Going on a diet, Brian?

Not sure why you get a diet add. Perhaps your computer is trying to do an intervention!

That certainly appears to be a large object moving just below the surface.

Most likely a shoal of fish. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - bunkum!
There is no possible way that Loch Ness could support one pleisiosaur let alone the population required for the species to have survived the millions of years since the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. There’s more chance of Bigfoot walking into your local Jack in the Box and ordering a cheeseburger.


Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Now, Flamer, that is just silly. Bigfoot works the drivethru at Del Taco. Do please try to keep up.

Nessie a painting found unpublished by M.C.Escher ( 1898-1972)Holland.-

There is who says the painting of M.C.Escher 1898-1972 is authentic, to
Summon with consideration and respect towards a jurywoman who works
At the court of ROME, done by a professional ,famous and respected
person
The Dott.Anna PETRECCHIA ,dated august 04-2006.
The expert report is made of 51 pages that proofs the authenticity of
this
Works of art,with the opinion of art experts, tv and stamped papers
that represents
NESSIE the Monster Of Loch Ness that appears from under the water of
the lake
With the sound of a flute, played by a black man without a face.
( in my opinion a monster that calls another monster ).-
Local TV and newspapers have brought this notice in several occasions.

ATTENTION
The M.C.escher Foundation of Baarn Holand say their consideration:

This is to let you know that M.C.Escher NEVER HAVE MADE a
Painting and the mentioned paining of Loch Nes is fake.
You should rectify this message. It is absolutely nonsense.
For years this people are trying to get a certificate,but
The never will get, because it is a forgery.
M.C.escher Foundation.

Has far has we know from informations, uptil now the M.C.Escher
Foundation
HAS NEVER SEEN OR CHECKED THE ORIGINAL PAINTING
Neither the handwriting, the date 18.1.1949, the dedication, the
signature and
The registration number behind the painting.
Even though, the M.C.Escher Foundation say such a thing,
NOT EVEN EXAMINATING ( neither by their own experts )
THE ORIGINAL PAINTING .
We will wait for a proofing certificate that this art is really a fake
so we can
Spread it all over the world.
Uptil then the painting is the ORIGINAL.-

Seems like the rantings of a hyper-manic individual.
