If you ever wondered how word originally got out about the great Orm of Loch Ness, this monstrous pairing of tales from times past should answer your questions. Alexander Gray was born in 1900 and raised within spitting distance of the loch. An accomplished fisherman and boatsman, he also drove a bus along the path […]
While the western world was hacking at their TRS-80s, celebrating the launch of the space shuttle Columbia, and watching Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pete Sylvester had something a million times more awesome than those combined. He, and his mates, spied Nessie. Up close and personal should he be believed. Just jolly rotten luck about […]
The year 2020 has not been a total loss. Nessie and/or her ilk have been putting in a goodly number of appearances on Loch Ness, not including the wildly publicized sonar images with which we are all now familiar. Meanwhile, Glasgow Boy has been digging through old newspapers and uncovered Some Sightings Of The Monster […]
Nick Redfern examines the possibility that sightings of the Loch Ness Monster are actually run-ins with giant salamanders. While it’s not unlikely that these wee beasties exist in and around the loch, at most they grow to only six feet in length which doesn’t quite meet monster standards. Next, Redfern looks into The Loch Ness […]
Glasgow Boy recently heard from a gentlemen who passed along second-hand details of an encounter with something along the shore of Loch Ness back in 1922. It seems a young lady stumbled upon the nap time of a dark skinned creature resembling a six-foot-long salamander. She was able to sneak up on it sufficiently to […]
Nobody’s gone and told Nessie about social distancing, and reckon we should be happy.

Also braving the pandemic […]
A second sonar sighting of a Great Big Something in Loch Ness has some experts saying words like “catfish” and “sturgeon,” while others roll their eyes saying there’s never been a catfish that big in the history of the world. Want to know how to tell a basic sonar ping apart from a ping that […]
Glasgow Boy takes analytical aim at the recent report of possible sonar contact with Nessie deep in the dark waters of Loch Ness. Pointing out that sonar doesn’t work well at targeting water-filled objects, and aquatic creatures are mostly water, he suggests that the 30-foot Something picked up at a depth of about 570 feet […]
Recent news out of Scotland of a tourist boat unintentionally capturing the sonar image of what may be Nessie has left similar operators on the US east coast salivating at the prospect of making a similar name for themselves. Hence the Champ Challenge, the latest hunt for Lake Champlain’s purported resident beastie. They need not […]
Breaking news from Loch Ness: A tourist boat has caught on sonar an image of something very large in the loch about 300 meters down. And no, this is not a hoax or an equipment malfunction. The image of the 33-foot target has been verified by authorities as genuine. Some wonder it if can be […]
