LOCHNESS MONSTER A MYTH? OR TRUTH?

It is believed that the Earth was once inhabited by large monsters and dinosaurs. It is also widely believed that a comet had crash landed on the Earth destroying all those prehistoric animals. But has each and every one of those species become extinct?

A number of sightings of monsters have been reported. The most prominent of which is the LOCHNESS MONSTER affectionately referred to as the ‘Nessie’. There are various reports on sightings of the Nessie in the Lochness lake in Scotland.
Reports of this monster had begun from as early as the 7th century. The monster has been described by many as possessing a large body with a long neck, a small head and two flippers. Some photos have been taken in the past to prove its existence. But a few of them have been proved to be fake and some of them have been considered inconclusive and insufficient proof.


But inspite of a lot of investigations it has not been possible to prove the existence of such a monster. Scientists have tried to reason that it is not easy to judge the size of objects under water. They say that people could have misjudged some Otters or birds or some oddly shaped tree trunks as the Nessie.

Nevertheless there is a very wide spread belief about the existence of the Nessie.
Possibly in the future conclusive proofs may be obtained.
