One day in April 1934, a London doctor named Wilson was passing through Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands Gorge.
Wilson admired the beauty of the lake while thinking about the ancient legend of Loch Ness. In the ancient legend about Loch Ness, this Loch Ness contains unknown creatures (water monsters).
Wilson was in a reverie, when suddenly there was movement from the lake, and Wilson looked toward the movement and was surprised. Only to see a slender and slender head protrude from the surface of the lake, and a creature of water that had never been seen before appeared in Wilson's field of vision. This aquatic creature is very large, and is now leisurely cruising in the light of Loch Ness.
Could this be the water monster in ancient Scottish legend? Is the legend true? Oh my God, this kind of thing has happened to me!
Wilson didn't have time to think much about it, so he quickly took out the camera he was carrying, aimed it at the monster in the lake, and pressed the shutter. Since then, the true face of the legendary Loch Ness Monster has appeared in front of the world.
Dr. Wilson's photograph caused a sensation around the world. Legends about the Loch Ness Monster shocked the world. The eyes of the world began to focus on Loch Ness, located in the Scottish Highlands Gorge area.
It was Wilson who took this picture that sparked infinite reverie.
People carefully analyzed and studied the appearance of the water monster in this photo, and found that this so-called Loch Ness water monster resembled the giant reptile plesiosaur that went extinct more than 70 million years ago.
If the Loch Ness monster is really a plesiosaur, it is undoubtedly an extremely precious surviving prehistoric animal, and this discovery will also occupy an important place in zoology.
Beneath the vast and deep surface of Loch Ness, is there a lost prehistoric secret?
After that, people began to carry out large-scale exploration of Loch Ness, and the British and Americans jointly organized a large expedition, sending 24 research vessels in a long snake array to drive through Loch Ness in a dragnet in an attempt to capture the monster in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, nothing was found except for recording some sonar data.
The whereabouts of the Loch Ness Monster are puzzling. In people's reverie, the Loch Ness monster photographed by Wilson is back in the lost prehistoric mystery. There, there are still many Jurassic prehistoric creatures living there, and these prehistoric creatures still repeat the lives of seventy million years ago in the lost secret realm of the earth. One day in the future, the Loch Ness Monster may inadvertently appear in the world through the secret passage under Loch Ness.
However, the reality is always a big surprise. The most famous photo of the Loch Ness monster taken in 1934 turned out to be a completely man-made hoax. The so-called Loch Ness Monster is nothing more than a crude toy made of cork.
On March 14, 1994, on his deathbed, the 90-year-old Bourglin confessed for his involvement in the forgery of photographs and told the truth about the Loch Ness Monster photographed in April 1934: the planner of the incident was Waitrell, a journalist sent by the Daily Mail to search for the monster, who was Boslin's stepfather. At that time, a total of 5 people were involved in the matter, they first loaded a water monster made of cork on the toy submarine, put it in the lake to take pictures, and then published by Dr. Wilson. The water monster in the photo is actually just a 30-centimeter-tall gadget, but it has deceived countless people.
The long-circulated photo of the Loch Ness Monster turned out to be a man-made horror. The light of Loch Ness flows with the reverie of people, and the so-called lost prehistoric secret of the earth is just a wonderful fantasy of mankind, which cannot but be lamented.
But the phantom on Loch Ness still haunts people's minds, and people still believe that there are huge unknown creatures under the water surface of Loch Ness. Loch Ness remains a great camp for many people to explore.
The BBC organised a search in 2003.
In 2009, there were also hopes to find traces of the Loch Ness Monster on Google Maps.
The legend of Loch Ness continues. So, since that world-famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster has proven to be a man-made hoax, why do many people believe that there are unknown creatures (monsters) beneath the surface of Loch Ness?
The reasons for this are nothing more than the following:
First, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster has a long history.
In ancient Scottish legend, there are indeed unknown creatures in Loch Ness. It is also the source of fermentation for the Loch Ness monster. The earliest record of the water monster dates back to 565 AD, the Irish missionary St. Columber and his servants swimming in the lake, the water monster suddenly attacked the servants, thanks to the timely rescue of the priests, the servants swam back to the shore to save their lives, since then, more than ten centuries, there have been more than ten thousand news about the appearance of water monsters.
With such dense legends of water monsters, it is natural to make people full of intention to explore Loch Ness. Although Waitrell, the originator of the famous 1934 photograph of the water monster, forged it, he did go to find the legendary water monster. But the monster was not found, so he made the photo of the water monster that shocked the world.
Second, the complex geographical environment of Loch Ness hides too many unknowns.
Loch Ness contains a large amount of peat, which makes the lake very turbid, with visibility in the water less than three or four feet. Moreover, the terrain at the bottom of the lake is complex, and there are deep valleys and ravines that twist and turn like a labyrinth. Even large aquatic animals can easily hide in them, avoiding the reconnaissance of electronic instruments.
In addition, there are many fish in the lake, and the monsters do not have to go out to feed. The lake is connected to the sea, and it is difficult to ensure that the monster has not escaped into the sea.
Therefore, even if scientists use advanced instruments and equipment to search for water monsters, it is difficult to find traces of water monsters.
Third, the commercial opportunities brought by the Loch Ness Monster make Loch Ness more mysterious.
Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands is famous for its beautiful scenery, but also mysterious because of its "monster" rumors, when the eerie and winding Loch Ness is shrouded in a mysterious color, people flock to see the dignity of the monster. This undoubtedly brings huge business opportunities to Loch Ness.
Therefore, although the loch Ness monster is difficult to find, it does not prevent the legend of the loch Ness monster from spreading to the world.
