Have you heard of Nes­sie, the Loch Ness Mons­ter?


Loch Ness is a very large, deep lake in Scot­land. Many people think a mons­ter lives in it.
The first re­port of Nes­sie was back in the sixth cen­tu­ry. A man cal­led St Co­lum­ba re­por­ted see­ing a mons­ter in the water, but he told the mons­ter to go back, and he was safe.

Then, in 1933, Nes­sie was seen again by Ge­or­ge Spi­cer and his wife – she cross­ed the road in front of their car.
The next year, a photo was taken of Nes­sie, which be­ca­me very fa­mous. It was taken by a doc­tor – but the photo tur­ned out to be fake.
Since then, there have been se­ve­r­al more sigh­tin­gs of Nes­sie. Some people have tried to take pho­tos and vi­de­os, but Nes­sie is very shy and the pic­tures are not very clear.
People have also tried ex­plo­ring the lake, but it is very deep and very dark. Some people wat­ched the lake, while other people used equip­ment like un­der­wa­ter ca­me­ras, mi­cro­pho­nes and sonar to scan the lake ca­re­ful­ly. People have even ex­plo­red the lake in sub­ma­ri­nes. No one has found an­y­thing de­fi­ni­te. There are lots of pos­si­ble ex­pla­na­ti­ons for what people have seen in Loch Ness. Maybe the mons­ter is just a giant eel, a large bird, a tree or a seal. A few people even think it could be a ple­si­o­saur, which is a type of di­no­saur. So, what do you think? Do you be­lie­ve that Nes­sie, the Loch Ness Mons­ter, re­al­ly exists?
