Loch Ness Monster Mania

The Loch Ness Monster

This past week marked the anniversary of modern Nessie mania. From the this day in history website we learn that although accounts of an aquatic beast living in Scotland's Loch Ness date back 1,500 years, the modern legend of the Loch Ness Monster is born when a sighting makes local news on May 2, 1933. The newspaper Inverness Courier related an account of a local couple who claimed to have seen "an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface." The story of the "monster" (a moniker chosen by the Courier editor) became a media phenomenon, with London newspapers sending correspondents to Scotland and a circus offering a 20,000 pound sterling reward for capture of the beast.

What are your thoughts on the Loch Ness Monster? Real, a hoax, something else? Would you go on a Nessie "hunt?"

Enjoy!
