| According to Loch Ness Monster legend, the first people in the world
to record the mysterious creature in a remote Scottish lake have been Roman
legionaries, who have been conquering these Celtic lands with a sword
in hands at
the dawn of the Christian era. Scottish locals immortalized in stone
carvings all the animals of the local fauna from deer to mice. The
only carved animal Romans could not identify was the oversized strange long
necked seal.
History of Loch Ness monster sightings dates back to 7th century. Many
of them were recorded and passed through generations in legends,
poems and stories of Scottish folklore. Until the early twentieth
century the story of a sea creature Nessie living in the deepest lake of Scotland has
not been taken seriously by the scientific community. Rather it was
treated as a sea monster created by the ancient folklore, just like
dragon and Kraken. However, as technology of the recording equipment
advanced, more and more sightings were supported by the photographs,
audio tapes, and even videos in the later decades of the 20th century.
Loch Ness Monster had been officially viewed
within the crypto-zoology. In fact Nessie is considered one of the
most famous cryptids, along with Yeti and Bigfoot, and is on the "most wanted" list of
the modern science. While there's no solid proof evidence for existence
of Loch Ness monster, it may be only a matter of time before it is
found. Such may be the case of the filming done last week by the
Scotland resident Gordon Holmes. His video footage of the Loch Ness
Monster is the longest and highest quality film to ever capture
Nessie. It shows some 15 minutes of the animal swimming diving under
water, and just above water. Many body parts of Loch Ness monster can be
vividly distinguished and identified. The animal is swimming at about 5
to 15 miles ah hour. Scottish media have broadcasted the Loch Ness movie on many
TV channels, including BBC. Scientific experts say they are not ready
to give their final verdict on the video tape until they finish
studying it. Meanwhile this fresh monster story worked like a magnet
for the tourists coming to Loch Ness. Many of them bring sophisticated
recording and surveillance equipment in hopes of catching Nessie on
film and proving once and for all it exists. |
Gordon Holmes from Scotland claims he has filmed Loch Ness Monster on video. The Nessie footage is currently analyzed by the experts and the Scottish media. This is the first film footage of Loch Ness Monster with a high quality and BBC Scotland broadcasted the video on Tuesday in its breaking news segment.
