The Loch Ness "monster" is little more than a fabricated tourist attraction. The fact is that there is no real evidence for the existence of any large creature in the loch other than anecdotal accounts and a few very indistinct photographs, many of which have conclusively been proven to be faked. Additionally, the loch is too small a body of water to support a life form that would have to be at the top of the food chain. Whale-sized creatures require whale-sized sources of food and the loch is entirely lacking in that regard.

I had a few girls say that to me before. Been in therapy since.

That's because you pulled a 'Scary Movie 2' and tried to stick 'em in their ear!:lol::p

Maybe someone is allready doing it via remote and just torturing this guy.

That's a good point. Once someone has been invested in something like this for so long, they tend to have their blinders on and could perhaps miss something that other people would have caught.

Ok, that got a literal LOL. :)
I would like there to be a Lock Ness Monster, a Bigfoot, an Ogopogo, etc, but I'm afraid all of these are all
just creatures of the imagination. The only convincing proof of one of these monsters would be a live one.
Photos just don't do it anymore.

I would hope that, if in fact any of these being do happen to exist, that we never really find out. I think it's great that these are creatures of the imagination. It's fun and imagination is that one ever so slight thread of childhood that we can take with us no matter how old we get! :)

You're right. Absolute proof, one way or the other would take away the smidgin of magic that feeds these legends. Okanagan Lake
and Lock Ness are both very deep. There is plenty of room for a monster or two....:smile:

Give me 26 years and a couple thousand dollars, and I will design a believable Lock Ness monster that will
swim, dive, and surface, more convincingly than Dr. Edwards' "discovery", or whatever it is.

Hollywood already has one. Called it JAWS.

I suppose, but Great White sharks like they had in the movie "Jaws" exist in the wild.
The shark model in the movie was very well done. The "photo" in the topic header
could have been anything.

I didn't know that the shark didn't work. I watched the movie and thought there was just enough shark. More
would have been too much.

I saw it in a documentary a few years ago, it was the first time I'd heard about that as well. As Spielberg says, ultimately it was fortuitous that the shark didn't work. Lol.

I believe his name was Bruce.
