Sea Monsters Lochness In Scotland

Mystery of Nessie - the monster of Lochness
In the world of kriptozologi, Lochness monster of a top priority in addition to Bigfoot. Legend of Nessie, he usually called, can be traced back to 1,500 years ago. Some people who claim to see this mysterious creature describes Nessie as long-necked creature with a hump on his back like a dinosaur. Estimated to be around 15 to 40 feet and weighs about 2,500 pounds. Until now, after 1,500 years, sightings of the mysterious creature is still happening. This is the story of Nessie from time to time.

History of Loch Ness
 
People often refer to lakes Lochness, but the designation is not appropriate. "Loch" itself means lake, so the lake Lochness means Ness. Lochness is located in the northern part of Scotland. This lake is one of the largest lakes in Scotland, just less great than Loch Lomond. Length of 24 miles and 1 mile wide with depths up to 1,000 feet.

During the ice age about 12,000 years ago, Scotland was originally covered by a giant glacier. When the glaciers began to melt, the water flow is moving too slowly eroding rocks to meet the region's territory. When the water receded, daratanpun appears, then formed lakes. This causes the possibility of sea creatures caught in the lake. Over a period of thousands of years, salt water turned into a freshwater lake, causing animals that can not adapt become extinct. But it seems some animals to survive.
Bottom of the lake is covered by black soil and particles floating in the water around the lake. This causes water Lochness dark black. This factor has led to the difficulty of investigating the creatures that live in the lake. Some geographers say that the Lochness is the deepest lake in Europe. If left blank then the 15 billion humans fit into this fit.
Lochness Monster
Nessie is often compared with the plesiosaurs were thought to have become extinct 60 million years ago. Plesiosaur itself is a cold-blooded animals to need warmth from the surrounding environment. Scientifically, plesiosaurs can not survive in cold water environments such as Lochness. Moreover, he needs air to breathe. If Nessie is a plesiosaur, then of course the appearance will be more frequent. However there is the possibility that Nessie is a descendant of the plesiosaur that have learned to adapt in the new environment.

Lochness Monster sightings
Nessie The term was first coined by a newspaper journalist in 1933, and since then the global Nessie. But the history of Nessie, much older than that.
Starting in the year 565 AD, A Christian missionary named St. Columba met a group of people who were burying a body that is said to have been attacked by a monster lake. He then sent someone to investigate. When the boat messenger St. Columba was in the lake, the monster appears and prepares to attack. Envoy St. Columba was so scared that they can not move. St Columba who witnessed the incident from the edge of the lake immediately made the sign of the cross and shouted: "You should not go forward anymore - go". Monster was soon gone.
That's the first documented report of sightings of Nessie. Not surprisingly, following the encounter St. Columba with Nessie, the lake is called Loch na Beiste as a means lake of the beasts - Lake of the creature.
There are many reported sightings of this monster in the period of hundreds of years, here are some reports that the most frequently mentioned and described:
In 1725, a group of British soldiers arrived in Scotland to build a road to the south of the lake and all of a sudden they heard strange noises in the water. Then they saw two monsters of whales swimming across the lake.
In 1919, Margaret Cameron and three sudaranya encounter a monster who was moving among the trees toward the lake at bay Inchnacardoch. According to them the monster has two small feet that round and move like a caterpillar.
Another man named Alfred Cruikshank also saw this monster on the ground. On April 1923, he was driving his car when he saw a monster as high as 6 feet (1.8 meters) with a hump on his back stood before him. He said it has a 4 foot monster big as elephant feet. According to him, the animal noises are loud groans.
In 1933, the workers are also building a road near the lake using dynamite to break large rocks. The explosion caused the rocks to fall into the lake. This incident seems to interfere with Nessie. He stared at the water surface of the workers, and then back into the water. In 1933, there were at least 50 sightings were reported.
In March, 1933, John Mackay and his wife who were driving heard a noise in the water. Then they saw a large black figure with two hump surfacing and swimming in the lake.
On July 22, 1933, FT George Spicer and his wife even saw Nessie were crossing the street when they're driving in Dores and Foyers. According to them Nessie has a long neck with the back about 6-8 feet high. Total length of about 25 feet.
On January 5, 1934, at 1 night, a man named Arthur Grant was riding his motorcycle when he almost hit a creature in north Abriachan. The creature was panic then quickly jumping into the lake. Grant claimed that the creature had a long neck and long tail which is also great. Her eyes Oval and Large.
Since St. Columba, at least there are about 2,000 reports of sightings of the mysterious creature were reported.
