Is the Loch Ness Monster true?

The story we are going to tell today is still an unsolved mystery. That starts with an explosive news from 1934 British media. 1934 In April, a small black-and-white photo published in several British newspapers boarded the Scottish Highlands.

Loch ness became famous all over the world overnight. The picture shows a strange animal: long neck and flat head. It is reported that this monster was accidentally photographed by London doctor Wilson while visiting Lake Nice. For a time, people exclaimed: There really are monsters in Nice Lake!

Loch Ness, located in the northern part of the Scottish Highlands, is very mysterious and has a cold climate, but the lake is not frozen all year round. The deepest part of the long and narrow lake is 293 meters, and many caves are hidden under the water like a maze. So far, no one can find out its true face. As early as 1000 years ago, there were rumors that a monster lived in loch ness in the Scottish highlands. Let's take a look at this photo again. It is true that the animals above are not like any aquatic creatures today, but more like the giant plesiosaur that died out more than 65 million years ago. The plesiosaur was 12 to 16 meters long, and was called "marine killer" in Jurassic period.

Is there really a plesiosaur who has survived many disasters in the paradise of Loch Ness? Suddenly, the media and people at that time were possessed and went north one after another, and huge rewards for catching monsters were posted one after another. The hotel business in the Lake District is unprecedentedly prosperous. It is said that even the then British Prime Minister MacDonald made a plan to visit the north, but he was unable to make it because of his busy government affairs.

During that time, the fame of Nice Monster quickly rushed out of Britain and went to the world. In order to alleviate the heavy atmosphere brought by the Great Depression, the French press spared no effort to report the so-called most exciting news. It is said that the United States on the other side of the ocean has also launched a suit named after Loch Ness. There are more and more stories about water monsters.

Among many journalists eager to get important news from Loch Ness, Witlow of the British Daily Mail is the best. Shortly after he arrived at Loch Ness, he announced that he had found the footprints left by the monster a few hours ago. Footprints were immediately sent to London for special care. As a result, people all over the world held their breath and waited for the test results of the British Museum.

Soon after, another film message was released to the public: this is the most unusual thing in recent years, confirming the existence of the Loch Ness monster. The weather and exposure to storms day and night affected the quality of our films, so the results were a bit vague. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we filmed the monster itself for the first time in history.

However, experts later confirmed that the footprints found by Vitello were nothing but the footprints of hippos. To be precise, it is made of an umbrella stand with hippopotamus feet in Victorian era. Witlow, the master of catching monsters, has long since disappeared. Later, the film materials were also proved to be excessive propaganda for the development of tourism, and the credibility of the existence of monsters was greatly reduced. By World War II, it seemed that only the eccentric Italian dictator Mussolini was still talking about this monster. He sent planes to bomb Loch Ness, and then announced that the monster had been killed and Britain was about to die.

The fanaticism of 1934 and all kinds of scams seem to have basically exhausted people's interest in Loch Ness. So much so that on 1947, when a bank manager named Forbes said that he had seen the lake monster, a local newspaper immediately published an ironic letter, which wrote: I want to take the opportunity of meeting Mr. Forbes to appeal to people to take your empty whisky bottle away from the lake. Broken glass is very dangerous to us amphibians. Signed Loch Ness Monster. In this way, the Nice Monster spent more than ten years after World War II in the cold eyes of the media, and it was not until the 1960s that the eyes of the world returned to Loch Ness.

What caused a sensation again was a film made by British aviation engineer Tinsdale in Loch Ness in 1960. The negative film was examined by technicians and proved to be true. Dinsdale said, "It's like a black python. Just stick out of the water. Then drill back, and there will be foam. Then, he came out of the water with another splash and left like this. I have never seen it again. "

Inspired by this film, people began to search for water monsters with the help of advanced instruments and equipment after 1970s. Scientists lines recorded a huge object with underwater cameras and sonar. After intensive computer processing, a series of images of water monsters are depicted. The world can't help exclaiming again, we finally found the water monster! However, everything is happy too soon. Do you remember the first photo of the monster of 1934? It is it that lays the psychological foundation for people to admit the existence of water monsters. But people didn't expect that 60 years later, this photo almost shattered people's curiosity about the water monster.

1994, 60 years after this photo was published, photographer Dr. Wilson passed away. Perhaps in order to seek the peace of conscience, Wilson exposed his family at the end of his life: this monster with a long neck and a small head was forged by him with a dinosaur toy set on a stake. The photo was taken on April 1 day, April Fool's Day in the west.

The most famous photo of the monster turned out to be an April Fool's prank! Enlightened skeptics then began to question Dinsdale's films and photos of Scientist Line. They think that the object in Dinsdale's movies is probably a ship, and it looks like an animal because of the distance. The monster in the photos of lines is actually a string of bubbles rising underwater, which is a common phenomenon in Loch Ness. To this, Dinsdale and lines fought back angrily.

However, this time the dispute between true and false did not make people's interest in monsters plummet. After all, the unexplained strange things that have happened in Loch Ness over the years are fascinating. For decades, various search activities on Lake Nice have also recorded the activities of large underwater objects many times. If they are not monsters, what are they? So far, more than 3000 people around the world have claimed to have seen the water monster. Are they all lying? At this time of doubt, a collective witness event once again aroused people's new interest.

The first sighting took place here. Witnesses said: I saw a head and neck there, one foot above the water, which was very strange. I felt a little brown, but it quickly retreated into the water. I know what I saw. It's really a creature. It can't be anything else. On this day, a lady living on a mountain near the lake saw a similar scene. Soon after, a father and son who came back from fishing became the third group of witnesses. The father said, the son is crying. Oh, my God, it's a water monster. I didn't believe him at first, but when I turned to look at the lake, the weather was fine and I could see the giraffe's neck sticking out of the water. Probably nearly 2 meters, came out with the body. When all the witnesses put what they saw together, we saw that this animal had a long neck and a small head, which was very similar to plesiosaur.

Just in July this year, a new discovery provided a more important basis for the possible existence of water monsters. Scientists at the National Museum of Scotland confirmed that a retired man found a plesiosaur fossil 654.38+0.5 million years ago by the Lake Nice. This shows that plesiosaur lived in Loch Ness during Jurassic period.

Is it true that plesiosaur was not completely extinct? Some people think that the "resurrection" of the empty spiny fish is a precedent. The stickleback is an ancient fish, which was once thought to be extinct 70 million years ago, but was later discovered in the Indian Ocean. Since the empty spiny fish can survive to this day, who can guarantee that there are no ancient aquatic creatures in Nice Lake that we don't know about?

In this way, after the truth is revealed, it is obvious that people are still very interested in the mystery of the Loch Ness monster. There is always an endless stream of tourists on the shores of Lake Nice.
