Have you ever noticed that much of the actual useful/credible information on cryptids comes out of Portland, Maine? Ever wonder why? Hint: the answer starts with an “L”. No, not ley lines. The answer is Loren Coleman, the founder of the International Cryptozoology Conference and the Owner/Curator of the International Cryptozoology Museum. So now on […]

Micah Hanks considers the “inconsistency” and “damning lack of physical evidence” to confirm that Nessie is both real and long-necked, by looking at some well-known pre- and post-1933 sightings. Did the original King Kong movie influence witness accounts, he wonders? And we are reminded in Part Two: Mischief, Monsters, and the “Surgeon’s Photograph”, that witness […]

Glasgow Boy has our first photograph of something in the Loch, and he declares it….a resounding disappointment. Ah well, the year is still young. Still, the less objectively minded Nessie Hunters Claim Two Sightings In Five Days. So what if the first sighting was the same speck on the water that has GB rolling his […]

Using Gary Campbell’s sightings register, Glasgow Boy finds a total of 13 reports of the Loch Ness Monster in 2018 with 5 hump reports, 5 neck reports, 3 he would consider unclassified, and 6 of the reports being captured as mobile phone camera images and 2 as webcam videos. Not a bad year. Tim Binnall […]

Well, if Nessie is made of metal, then maybe. It takes a determined imagination to see what looks like (and apparently sounds like) a metal object that has bobbed up to the surface of the Loch. Meanwhile Nick Redfern moves From One Controversial Beast to Another in his determination to include Aleister Crowley in the […]

Nick Redfern does a bit of head-scratching over Peter McNab’s 1955 photo of humps in the Loch and wonders what the significance may be of the differences between the original negatives and the published pics. And from a 1951 report, Glasgow Boy ponders Harper Smith and his Periscope Nessie. A father and son out fishing […]

Steve Feltham is the guy who’s been enjoying the view at Loch Ness since 1991, and that apparently qualifies him as “an Indiana Jones-type.” His reward is a cameo appearance in a seven-minute ad for a forthcoming Ridley Scott movie about him. From this, will he get rich enough, we wonder, to be able to […]

Being unemployed in Ohio needn’t be dull, as Lisa Stout has demonstrated by, apparently, finding a sure-fire pic of Nessie online from an “underwater Earth contributor.” The cynics among us might point out the glaring Photoshop characteristics of the image, but Glasgow Boy still wants to ask if it’s A Nessie Photograph from 2015? He […]

Or perhaps not. Alas this adds to the vast number of dark, indistinct humps snapped over the decades. The photographer was too much “in shock” to get another pic or take a video, and Glasgow Boy bemoans the absence of a more effective visual record. Mind you, he might take comfort in the information that […]

Who doesn’t love Nick Redfern? Writes at least 3000 words a day, and reads twice that making him one of the most productive forteans. Today he tackles Hugh Gray’s controversial photo, but doesn’t embed it. So we did, and you can peruse Nick’s thesis while comparing it against the notorious snap for your own edification. […]
