"Remember the time Nessie met Sherlock Holmes? In Billy Wilder’s 1970 film, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, the detective travels to the wilds of Scotland to investigate a mystery, and comes face to face with Scotland’s greatest icon. Since the real Nessie is notoriously camera-shy, the filmmakers constructed a 30ft-long Loch Ness Monster, towed it out into the loch…and watched in dismay as it sank. But now, thanks to modern technology, we’ve found Nessie!" "And so Nessie remained at the bottom of Loch Ness (possibly confusing the real Nessie) in a lonely maritime afterlife, until a new effort was made to survey the depths of the loch. Kongsberg Maritime, a Norwegian company, has partnered with VisitScotland and Loch Ness Project head Adrian Shine, to use sonar imaging to create maps of the loch, and turned up this image": (READ MORE)
How interesting ! It seems like there are always fakes for everything that people see and do not have an explanation for, and of course, they have to make fakes for the movies also. Since there are quite a few of the larger lakes that have had sightings of some sort of large creature, I believe that we do have something really large that lives in some of the deepest lakes, and in the ocean. I think we have an actual thread for lake monsters like Nessie somewhere here on the forum, and discuss some of the other places (like the Great Lakes) where there have been sightings. Even Lake Pend Oreille, in Idaho where I grew up , has had reports of people seeing some kind of huge creature in the water, and also Lake Chelan in Washington State.
Want to look for the Loch Ness monster? How you can join the biggest hunt in 50 years. (8-26 & 8-27-23) A new and sophisticated search is being planned for the elusive Loch Ness monster, the first major hunt for the fabled "Nessie" in 50 years. Scotland's Loch Ness Centre in Drumnadrochit, Scotland, is inviting “budding monster hunters” and volunteers to take part in the search, scheduled for Aug. 26-27. The hunt is being called the most comprehensive since a search in 1972.
Nessie Hunt Update : ‘My milkman saw her once’: Loch Ness sees biggest monster hunt in 50 years "Armed with drones, cameras, notepads and binoculars, hundreds of volunteers have arrived in the Scottish Highlands while others watch online from as far away as Japan." We’re trying to enthuse a new generation of Nessie hunters’ … Paul Nixon, general manager of the Loch Ness Centre.

This is a prop Nessie that appeared in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Now laying at the bottom of Loch Ness. A mix of Articles from the internet. Geneticist Neil Gemmell went to Loch Ness in Scotland with an open mind and a clever scientific approach to finding the legendary sea monster Nessie. His research team sampled the lake's environmental DNA (eDNA) to catalog the critters living in its dark depths. We found substantial levels of DNA from humans and a variety of species directly associated with us such as dogs, sheep and cattle. However we also detected wild species local to the area such as deer, badgers, foxes, rabbits, voles and multiple bird species. These findings indicate eDNA surveys of major waterways may be useful for rapidly surveying biological diversity at a regional level.” The researchers found evidence of 3,000 species in the water, but none of them were giant reptiles, dinosaurs or other animals that might match up with the popular image of the mythical sea monster. Gemmell did offer an alternate theory: that Nessie might just be a very large eel. “Divers have claimed that they've seen eels that are as thick as their legs in the loch, whether they're exaggerating or not - I don't know - but there is a possibility that there are very large eels present in the loch. Whether they are as big as around four metres as some of these sightings suggest – well, as a geneticist I think about mutations and natural variation a lot, and while an eel that big would be well outside the normal range, it seems not impossible that something could grow to such unusual size.
