Lochness Monster
Information

The Loch Ness monster or "Nessie" as many would like to call it is an alleged creature living in the Loch Ness Lake in Scotland. The modern day sighting of this fabled beast began in the late 16th century but things really began to heat up in 1934 when Dr. Robert kenneth Wilson photographed a plesiosaur-like beast in the murky waters of the Ness. After that photo was published people flocked to the Ness to find the mythical creature. Experts examined the photo and some thought it was real many more thought it was a hoax, but the immagination of common people was captured and people came with money looking for the creature. People even used submarines to try and photograph the creature under the water. Today there is a full blown industry generating upwards of $40 million dollars annually for the local economy of Loch Ness, complete with submarine rides. .
