One day on July 2, 1933 George Spicer and his wife were taking a drive past the Loch Ness lake in Scotland. They were quiet when suddenly George's wife cried "Look!" Spicer turned his head just in time to see a long neck and a tail flip through the water. And just as quick as it came, it was gone. The monster that Spicer and his wife saw was the Loch Ness Monster.

The Loch Ness is the most voluminous freshwater lake in the United Kingdom. So who exactly is the Loch Ness Monster? Well, like Bigfoot, no one knows if the Loch Ness Monster is real. Many have tried to snap a picture of the famous monster until this photograph came out in 1934 called "The Surgeons Photograph" because the photo was said to be taken by Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson.

The interest for the picture ended in 1994 when Christian Spurling, confessed it was a fake made by his father, Marmaduke Wetherell. They made a wooden monster, took the picture, and they convinced Robert Kenneth Wilson (the village doctor), to tell the world he shot the picture.

The Loch Ness Monster's sightings first began 1,500 years ago! Over time there have been over 10,000 sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, or "Nessie" to which people prefer to call it.

The Loch Ness Monster is described with a neck like a Camarasaurus and a long body with a flipper and the end and sides of its body.

So, is Nessie real? Or is this monster a myth?

What do you think?
