tkatz Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 The Bigfoot stories inspired me to do a little research on another such mythical creature, The Loch Ness Monster. This alleged creature has been around much longer then Bigfoot and citings started in the 1800's. There is no substantial evidence but recently underwater caverns have been found which lead much deeper then scientists ever believed the Loch went.....It is just interesting and kind of cool to think that some pre-historic creature still exists. http://www.myspace.co.uk/nessie/menu/nesscont.html ...Also some scientists believe ancient sea-creature from pre-historic times could still exist at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinInsite Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 It'll be cool if we could capture a live giant squid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 that would be cool, but where would you keep it? I bet they have mad strength. Something as big as Nessie needs lots of their species around to keep going. I think there is a better chance of the Chinese Red Man than this.

Kilmer17 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 They have caught Giant Squid. Just not full grown ones yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmer17 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Yep. Small ones though. Smaller than a hand. Saw it on discovery a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman56 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Not very giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinInsite Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Maybe they can grow it to about 60 feet and have it fight with a whale. I bet fox will buy the rights to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Not very giant. :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 LOL... I know the LNMonster was a story that I loved, but the famous picture that was taken by a doctor was proven to be faked recently when the doctor confessed on his death bed. That being said, the Giant Squid was just found. I'm sure that the ocean in it's vastness has some creatures to hide. The LN Monster however, may be just a legend. But I'm always open minded.

f_dallas Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Yep. Small ones though. Smaller than a hand. Saw it on discovery a few months ago. I saw that special too. The part that is even more frustarting than the fact that they have never caught/seen a full grown one alive is they can't even keep the small ones they ARE able to find alive for more than a day or so.....

WallyG3 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I saw this really great special on TLC or Discovery a few months ago. They did a fine sonar scan of the whole loch from shore to shore and found nothing. They took a very good scientific approach and debunked all the theories. I am convinced, there is nothing there.

In Flames Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 i say give this story to mythbusters, those guys are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smsmith40 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 As a Scotsman, I would say that as long as tourists keep coming then it doesn't really matter if the legend is true or not. I would say that Loch Ness is a very spooky place, its about a mile wide and 23 miles long and you can really sense the immense depth of the water. Well worth a visit for the scenery and hospitaility, whether the beastie exists or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J33Edwards Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I heard a theory quite awhile ago that there might be channels from the loch out to the ocean and that the creatures may come and go as they please...not sure how that holds up but i thought I would through it out there for you.

NavyDave Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yeah I saw it on Discovery too but according to my other half it was nowhere as exciting her encounters that day with the one eyed monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 J33Edwards, I heard that theory too....I kind of want that to be true. I find myself wanting most of these types of stories to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
