Topic > Essay on Nessie - 521

A man named Skipper George Edwards, a tourist, has been searching for a little over twenty-six years and says that "Nessie" looks like a manatee but definitely not a mammal ("Mackal"). The first known sighting dates back to 565 AD; St. Columbia saved the life of a Pictish who had been attacked by the "monster" ("Loch"). Even a modern day sighting in March 1933, a man named John Mackay and his wife noticed movement in the water (Eberhart 375-376). Many photographs have also been taken of this monster, but the images shown are believed to be a hoax or something other than the real monster. Actual fossil evidence of this creature shows that it was large, with a long neck and a very small head, with fins for proportion ("Loch"). On July 1, 2013, an Italian geologist claimed that Nessie sightings in the Lakes are simply the result of bubbles caused by geological forces.
