The Loch Ness Monster
The Loch Ness Monster seems like an ancient throwback to the time of dinosaurs, but in fact, "Nessie" is younger than Roscoe Bartlett. The monster was first reliably reported in a series of three sightings made on land in 1933. In each case, the sighting ended when the monster made its way back to the water. Loch Ness is a wonderful place to hide; it covers almost 22 square miles and is over 750 feet deep. But that hasn't stopped people from looking. Over the years, nine separate attempts to find Nessie have used sonar, telescopic lenses, submarines, and underwater microphones, to no avail. But don't let that stop you from believing.
