There have been many sightings in the Loch Ness. Some say that it's a monster, some have even taken photos of this so-called monster. While many people try and debunk the claims, the fact is there is something in the Loch Ness.

The Loch Ness monster that we all know has been given a name, "Nessie". Everyone knows about the most famous photo of Nessie, called the Surgeon's Photo, which was published on April 21, 1934. There have also been many sonar evidence of a large, moving object in the waters of Loch Ness.

"Loch Ness monsters are, if they exist animals of species either not yet known to science or known but thought to have been long extinct" Henry H. Bauer wrote that. Just because we can't see something or prove that it is real, doesn't necessarily make it untrue. We believe in God, yet no one has ever seen him. So because we don't see God does that mean he isn't real?

There is a theory out there that the Loch Ness monster could be in fact a Plesiosaurs. A dinosaur thought to have been extinct, perhaps this dinosaur some how escaped the Ice Age and is now the focal point of this mysterious creature that many call the Loch Ness Monster.

Henry H. Bauer Points out that there is in fact, "strong evidence that there really are large, yet-to-be-identified animals in Loch Ness " There are three bits of objective data that proves to be strong evidence of something being in the Loch Ness.

1- " The Dinsdale film" - Which is a film recorded by Tim Dinsdale in 1960. Showing a large hump that is moving in the opposite direction of the camera, it then turns to the right, goes under, even under it still makes a sizable wake in the water. Some say that Dinsdale filmed a boat, which somehow didn't show up. Many computer enhancements of the film didn't reveal anything with the shape of a boat.

2- " Many sonar echoes from large, moving, mid-water objects" - These echoes have been obtained through a numerous amount of expeditions, using a variety of different sonars.

3- " Underwater photos of a giant flipper simultaneous with huge sonar echoes" - The sonar images show a huge reflection that was brought on by one or two large objects. Along with the sonar echoes there were images of a large flipper.

The fact remains that there are many things in this world that we can't prove. Such as God, ghosts and yes even monsters. Just because we can't prove certain things, they can still be real. Maybe in the future we will have some new technology that will help us prove the unproven.
