Discussion: Loch Ness Monster: Is it real? Do you believe in it?

When 50-year-old Consuela Ross went for a walk on the banks of Loch Ness with her daughter and granddaughter, she was simply hoping to photograph some of the stunning scenery.

But now she is claiming to have witnessed the latest glimpse of the fabled monster that dwells in its depths as it came to the surface for air.

However, despite having her camera in her hand she says she was too captivated to take a picture, and instead only managed to record the moment after the beast dived under the surface.

The family had spent the day visiting nearby Urquhart Castle with Mrs Ross's husband, Campbell Ross, 73, when they decided to drive to the lake.

Mr Ross stayed in the car while the others went to the water's edge, when Heather, who was seeing the Loch for the first time, pointed out a strange shape.

Consuela told the Daily Record: 'She said it looked like a big black belly. We looked and could see this big disturbance quite a way out and this big black object in the middle of it.

'We were so mesmerised, we didn't immediately think of taking pictures although we had the cameras in our hands.

'By the time we realised what we were seeing and began filming and snapping away, the object had sank virtually out of sight and moved away further into the loch, leaving behind a perfect circle of water - like a whirlpool.'

No. No way such a thing could live in a lake for such a long time without proof of its existence

It's funny how all these people who have claimed to spot the monster was "too much in shock" to snap a picture or "couldn't get to their camera in time."

That being said, no I do not believe in the Loch Ness Monster.

Who knows. Maybe the loch used to be home to a colony of the things hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Queef Queen

Prob just a whale or porpoise.

Toya

It's one of the mythical creatures I don't really believe in

As for this story... I would not have even gone public with this if the only proof I had was a picture of a damn ring of water

I am extremely into cryptozoology and am a strong believer in sasquatch's existence... because there is a lot of consistent evidence (both photographic and physical) to support such a claim.... There is not a single solid photo of the Loch Ness Monster for me to even begin to take it seriously. The one famous photo we have of it was debunked and proven to be a hoax in a bath tub. Also, the best picture we have of any sea serpent like cryptid is of Champ in Lake Champlain:

This is the best sea serpent picture we have of any of the reported ones across the world (from Nessy to Ogopogo, etc.). But, there is simply not enough evidence to support the existence of the Loch Ness Monster at this point in time.

A man after my own heart

I always thought Nessie photos looked like someone with their arm up with a bent wrist. I bet someone has hoaxed it that way before.

I believe in sasquatch too!

Interesting!

Has that picture got any credibility around it? Or has it been 100% debunked?

Footprints, whether you believe them to be hoaxed or not, is physical evidence. The Patterson-Gimlin is REAL evidence. Whether you think it's a hoax or not, it's evidence. It doesn't have to be proven to not be evidence. If it were proven authentic, then it wouldn't be a cryptic animal. Awful argument, try again.

There's debate. Scientists have looked at it and two possible ideas to explain it away were that it was a sturgeon or it was a log that randomly shot out of the water and the photographer happened to catch it at the right time.

Both explanations are flops. However, not enough people are aware of the Champ legend because it's overshadowed by the Loch Ness Monster. I'd like to see more scientists look into it, though.

Yes, when I was younger.
