Do you live in Wisconsin? Have you seen Pepie? Well Larry Nielson is ready to give you fifty g’s if you can prove Pepie’s existence. Don’t live in Wisconsin? Hie thee Lake City with all your gear and set up shop, your next blurry snap of a wave or log could make you a thousandaire […]

While the provenance of these shoreline bones are well known, it doesn’t stop the locals and Val Sweeney from making good fun of their re-discovery by a new neighbor. Still, looking at Hannah Burns’s snap it’s not very hard not to humor this flight of fancy. While we’re at it, our very own Patrick Huyghe […]

The late Duke of Edinburgh was, by and large, a straight-forward, no-nonsense fellow, noted for bouts of foot-in-mouth disease. But when he wasn’t making ghastly faux-pas in public, he was doing lots of things in private. Some are not talked about in polite society, but many do him credit and within the strict boundaries of […]

The planet’s still on lockdown, but thanks to 21st century connectivity and technology that’s no impediment to cryptozoologists across the globe, like Jocelyne LeBlanc. Eoin O’Faodhagain shares his surprising experience, along with Henry Bauer’s own guess on the provenance of the beast which is far from aligning with sour-faced greyfaces. Wanna see for yourself? Tim […]

Such is the view of Glasgow Boy who evidently is chafing at persistent claims that Nessie is really a 20-foot otter and he offers a video to support his view that one can’t mistake these cute critters for a giant water beastie. Nick Redfern however reckons that When the Loch Ness Monsters Choose to Change […]

Looking beyond the terrible hoax videos and breathless yet disingenuous “documentaries” on Discovery Networks, René Guzman takes a deep dive into the cultural folklore of cryptozoology. In this case, it’s all about the chupacabras. Nitpick — it’s chupacabras not chupacabra. Why? Spanish is not English and the beasts are known for sucking on goats, plural, […]

We love Nessie whether she’s a sneaky holdover from the jurassic period, a humungous eel, or an Aleister Crowley conjuring gone sideways. And we’re not alone in our sentiment. Cryptozoologist and life-long Nessie fan Ken Gerhard theorizes she’s a descendent of an ancient species of serpentine whale, which he explores in his newest book The […]

Nessie doesn’t seem to be bothered by the current UK lockdown, if January is anything to go by. Jocelyn Le Blanc takes a look at these sightings, which appear to be increasing because “the Loch is virtually watched 24/7,” thanks to webcams. Meanwhile, Henry Bauer gets into a bit of a strop over The Loch […]

Professor Henry Bauer feels that “everything described for the Loch Ness Monster” fits with his theory of a turtle species which became trapped in the Loch “at the end of the last Ice Age.” As we would expect, The Nessie Turtle Theory is quickly examined by Glasgow Boy, who prefers “the giant turtle theory to […]

We presume news of the COVID-19 Pandemic has reached the shores of Loch Ness as Nessie sightings have seen a marked uptick, emboldening her to flaunt her scales. Just the other day Louise Power and Jennifer Macrae ended their year right with a remarkable sighting, and Mike Merritt has their tale along with a curious […]
