Where does the myth of the Loch Ness Monster come from?
Thanks for asking.
Affectionately known as Nessie.
The mythical Loch Ness monster has been a source of fascination and terror for centuries.
Many sightings have been reported over the years, but to date, no conclusive evidence of the monster's existence has ever been unearthed.
Still, there are many believers out there.
In late august 2023, the largest nessie hunt in 50 years took place, organized by the local loch ness exploration research group and bringing together nearly 200 people from places as far afield as australia, japan and the usa.
1500 years after the legend was first reported, the goal remains the same to prove Nessie's existence.
When was the first reported sighting?
Nessie was first said to have been seen in 565 AD.
Irish abbot and missionary Saint Columba met some locals burying a man they said had been dragged underwater by a water beast.
The legend goes that Saint Columba then sent one of his followers to swim across the river Ness and caused the monster to retreat by making the sign of the cross.
Popular interest in the Loch Ness monster really took off in the 20th century, with a series of alleged sightings in the 1930s in particular.
In 1934, the Daily Mail published a black and white photograph taken by Robert Kenneth Wilson showing a dark shape with a huge neck emerging from the waves.
However, 60 years later it emerged that the photograph was a hoax.
The supposed Loch Ness monster in the picture was actually a toy submarine with a plastic wood head and neck added on top.
Writing for theconversationcom.
In 2018, philosophy researcher Artur Loggins suggested that people's continued belief in Nessie, despite a lack of evidence, may be down to cognitive dissonance.
The theory refers to how people often react when discovering new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs.
To counter the discomfort it causes them.
They may attempt to rationalise their beliefs, even in the face of scientific evidence to the contrary.
Of course, maintaining interest in the Loch Ness Monster is also worth a lot to Scotland financially.
It brings in around £41 million to the Scottish economy, according to a 2018 estimate from chartered accountant Gary Campbell.
Is there any possibility the monster could exist?
It's not uncommon for new species to be discovered by humans.
But let's be realistic.
The existence of a creature related to a plesiosaur in the depths of Loch Ness is highly doubtful.
After detecting a significant amount of eel DNA in 2019, scientists raised the hypothesis that Nessie could, in fact, be a giant eel.
But experts say it's unlikely that any eels in Loch Ness would be more than a metre long, whereas descriptions of Nessie suggest that it's somewhere between 2 and 6 metres long.
