The Lochness Monster lovingly referred to as Nessie has been a large draw to many people each year trying to see if they can spot any glimpse of this elusive creature. For newly funded projects that use many scientific equipment have yielded no results for something that should be simple to find with such equipment. Alas Virginia there is no Lochness monster just merely a fantastic tale of a sea creature that has been spoken of for centuries. These folk tales travel ,and draw attention to get people to visit locals that most people would not even think of traveling to for any other reason. Lochness has been debated, investigated, denied ,and re-investigated time ,and time again with no proof of anything living in the waters of the loch other than the native fish. Many people claim to see things in the loch which could easily be explained as illusions created by waves ,and water currents to a simple log of a fallen tree. These people that would truly believe such non-sense would believe it was a creature that apparently has a large life span as tales of lochness are many years old, and if they believe such things I have some ocean front property in Utah to sell them. When I was growing up as a child I was read stories that had dragons ,and other beasts of myth. Well I know these creatures do not exist in real life ,and any one to actually continue thinking such things exist are in denial of reality.

The only way to prove such things exist is to show actual proof. A picture can be faked, Same as video what you need are scientist that are trained in such Fields came out to say it did exist. Most scientist who search for the lochness monster have yet to discover any evidence of such a creature. So until the day a press meeting is held ,and it is announced the lochness monster has been discovered to be real ,and been cataloged into the books as an honest to god creature I will not believe in such child's play.Keeping the lochness monster hype up all it has become is a spoof of a out of the way tourist trap such as a ball of twine ,or flea circus. While it seems a hopeful promise for a economic add to the locals it really has nothing to do with what happens to be known as real life. Hopefully these people who believe the hype are not going for any specially made drinks anytime soon because they seem to keep in tight knit groups that reminisce of a cult that never seems to bode well in the end.
