2. • The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid,
reputedly a large unknown animal that inhabits
Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is similar
to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and
elsewhere, though its description varies from one
account to the next.

5. St. ColumbaSt. Columba was
the first person
who saw Nessie,
in 565.

6.  Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence
has varied since it was first brought to the world's
attention in 1933.
 Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal
and much-disputed photographic material and sonar
readings.

7.  The most common speculation among
believers is that the creature represents a
line of long-surviving plesiosaurs.

8.  The scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-
day myth, and explains sightings as including misidentifications of
more mundane objects, outright hoaxes, and wishful thinking.
 Despite this, it remains one of the most famous examples of
cyptozoology. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred
to by the nickname Nessie.

9. Hugh Gray’s Photograph(1933)
• On 12 November 1933, Hugh Gray was walking along the loch after
church when he spotted a large creature rising up from the lake. Gray
took several pictures of it, but only one of them showed up after they
were developed.

10. "Surgeon's Photograph"
(1934)
 The "Surgeon's Photograph" purported to be the first photo of a
"head and neck“. Dr. Wilson claimed he was looking at the loch
when he saw the monster, so grabbed his camera and snapped
five photos.

11. There have been some expeditions, sonar
studies, submersible investigations... in the
Loch Ness to find Nessie.

13. However, many people say that there isn't a
monster in Loch Ness.

14. Misidentification of
inaniMate objects or effects
• Trees
• In 1933 the Daily mirror showed a picture with the
following caption 'This queerly-shaped tree-trunk,
washed ashore at Foyers may, it is thought, be
responsible for the reported appearance of a
"Monster”’.
• Optical effects
• Wind conditions can give a slightly choppy and thus
matte appearance to the water, with occasional calm
patches appearing as dark ovals (reflecting the
mountains) from the shore, which can appear as
humps to visitors unfamiliar with the loch.

15. The people who don't believe that a
monster lives in the loch say...

The pictures and videos are false.

If there is only one monster, the one
St. Columba saw 1400 years ago, would
have died by now.

If there are many monsters:

The loch has not got enough food to
feed a group of large animals.

How do they all keep from being

16. After these explanations...
Do you think there is a monster in
Loch Ness or not?
