Ever hear of the Loch Ness monster? It’s one of the greatest and most popular creature, fact or fiction. The cryptid lurks the Loch Ness, the largest lake of Britain that can just about hold the 6 billion people on the face of the Earth.
Nobody knows just what the Loch Ness monster really is. Many will say it’s a plesiosaur, or a marine animal with a long neck and flippers. Others will speculate that it’s an eel, or a ‘zeuglodon’ (long, slender whale, possibly extinct). The problem with these theories is that none of them will ever be solidly proven until the monster is dead, a situation in which another cryptid would be extinct (like the thylacine).
The first reported sighting of Old Nessie was in the year 565 AD by a visiting missionary named Saint Columba. The man had asked a follower to swim out into the lake and bring back a boat that was not tied to the dock. After this first incident, reports of this very same creature were few and placed in a broad range of years. The construction of roads surrounding the Loch Ness drastically increased the frequency of the sightings, and today, an estimated 11,000 people have seen Nessie in the water. One man has reported 18 different sightings.
So as long as the Loch Ness monster or it’s descendants are alive and well in the great lake of Britain, thousands of people will be mesmerized by it’s mystery, like everything else.

Recently, a group of scientists, from around the world, have come together to uncover the secrets of Nessie. Whether she is real or not, and if she's real, where she stays. One problem that some of the scientists don't realize is that Nessie walks among the humans during certain points of the day, and that she is working with them.
