Loch Ness Legend

Media has been the real culprit in setting the tone for Bigfoot perceptions. In fact the name Bigfoot was coined by a

Nessie’s story begins from the first century A.D, when Romans first went to Northern Scotland and found carved, standing stones (which are still found in the region around Loch Ness) that represented animals, which were all easily recognizable, except one.

The quest began when Bigfoot was captured on film for the first time by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. In the year of 1967, the two men were out in a remote mountainous location in Northern California. After Patterson heard about the tracks found near Bluff Creek, he was determined to make a documentary about the mysteries of the Sasquatch. Buoyant, he rented a 16mm movie camera and went to the area in question with his comrade, Bob Gimlin. He caught the beast on camera casually strolling through an open clearing, staring at Patterson filming while continuing to walk. The film became known as the Patterson-Gimlin film. According to Animal Planet, "The Patterson-Gimlin film is widely regarded as one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the existence of Sasquatches,” (“The Patterson-Gimlin footage”).

Bigfoot has become an influence to American children for decades. Bigfoot (or “Sasquatch”) is a tall, dark haired cryptid humanoid. With the mystery and merchandise, many believe that Bigfoot is real. Unfortunately, many believe that the furry beast is simply a hoax. Based on countless discoveries, Bigfoot has existed at some point. Considering the proof presented by dedicated Bigfoot scientists and fans, it would seem ignorant to totally debunk the controversial topic of Bigfoot. Perhaps people are not digging deep enough to actually find the creature. It all started when Bigfoot was captured on film for the first time by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. In the year of 1967, the two men were out in a remote mountainous location in Northern California. After Patterson heard about the tracks found near Bluff Creek, he was determined to make a documentary about the mysteries of the Sasquatch. Buoyant, he rented a 16mm movie camera and went to the area in question with his comrade, Bob Gimlin. He caught the beast on camera casually strolling through an open clearing, staring at Patterson filming while continuing to walk. The film became known as the Patterson-Gimlin film. According to Animal Planet, "The Patterson-Gimlin film is widely regarded as one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the existence of Sasquatches,” (“The Patterson-Gimlin footage”). Throughout

There have been several similar situations like this in the past. For example we have witnessed how the yeti, bigfoot, and other varieties of so called mythical creatures. The public may be able to just simply write these so called mythical beliefs off but the people that were the eyewitnesses can not do this. People have collaborated with professionals to try and make sense of what they have claimed to see. Nearly every witness has some form of proof for dogman in 2006 a man in Troy, Michigan allegedly contacted onstar, a security system for cars, after running his car off of the road. He supposedly swerved to avoid hitting an animal in the middle of the road. He claimed that this animal was a great big dog that ran in front of him. Another man claims that Dogman scratched his thigh when he was trying to run past him. To this date there have been no reports of any injuries or deaths from the dogman. Although none of them are confirmed, there are many people that go missing in Michigan forests each and every year.

Marine parks around the world introduce the public to an animal that they would never encounter on their own. Seeing the majestic whales perform and listening to what the trainers share about the killer whale educates large groups of people about killer whales and creates excitement about the wild animal. However, some of the information being shared may not be accurate. Marine parks exist to make a profit. It would be in their best interest to tell the public bits of information that would keep them interested in the illusion created by the performance….that the killer whales are happy,

The claim as to whether the eye witness issue on Loch Ness Monster is reasonable and possibly true is worth searching. Loch Ness, placed in the Scottish Highlands, has been that area that a lot of people have sightings of a peculiar creature sneaking in the water. Its long neck and furthermore a snake formed head led individuals to trust it is not an ordinary fish. But instead a massive, complex animal that was eluded to be constantly located to in length ages of time (Val Moffat, eyewitness quoted in NOVA Online, “The Beast of Loch Ness,” accessed December 2, 2003). Result of this claim’s SEARCH tells me that eyewitness claim about the Loch Ness Monster is not reasonable and true, but this claim is still debatable.

In my English class we often talk about urban legends. Our teacher, Mr. Spooner, could rant all day about how the Loch ness monster or Nessie does not exist. Personally I say Nessie can exist at the bottom of Lock ness, but one thing Mr. Spooner believes exists, is Bigfoot. Again, I believe the opposite of what he thinks and that Bigfoot is just a myth. Growing up in Ohio, there are many stories of Bigfoot living in its forests or caves, but I’m not convinced Bigfoot just does not seem real enough to me.

Throughout history there have been countless sightings and eye-witness accounts of an ape-like creature with human characteristics lurking in remote mountain ranges and forests. Although there is no smoking gun which can conclusively prove or disprove the existence of Bigfoot outright, there's plenty of evidence to support either claim. This article attempts to separate the myth from the reality and determine once and for all whether Bigfoot was, or still is, a living mammal or whether the existence of such a creature is nothing more than a case of mistaken identity, a series of elaborate hoaxes or the figment of overactive human imaginations.

Another meaningful pattern and function found in studying the collected items were the pattern of what the monster could be instead. One informant stated that others assumed that the monster was instead just a migrating elk or often times a herd of elk that were swimming across the lake. In which with their backs and antlers poking up above the water, it made them look like the back of a monster moving in the water. Besides this, two other informants also believed that with the similar traits between the Bear Lake Monster and Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster the two were related. Another similarity amongst two informants were that there are water caves and tunnels in Bear Lake that connect to ones in Loch Ness, and that the Bear Lake Monster and Loch Ness Monster are actually the same creatures which travel back and forth between the lakes. These patterns of what the Bear Lake Monster could instead be also able to play an important part in the research because not only did a few of the informants speculate that it was a herd of elk or other wild animals. Several other informants also thought that since the Bear Lake and Loch Ness Monsters had similar stories that perhaps they came from the same legends and

The mystery that I chose is “BigFoot”. Bigfoot is a giant ape-like creature that is said to roam the Pacific Northwest.Is BigFoot fake or real? There are many sighting of bigfoot. People often saw bigfoot in the woods while hiking. Some people believe that bigfoot is a species that has not yet been discovered. People are curious about the mystery of bigfoot. There is a website that indicatesthat the bigfoot is real, “http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/bigfoot-existence-backed-dna-video-report-article-1.1473883”

myths are the fuel for individuality, originality, and imagination. They allow us to revitalize our past and construct out future. Life is influenced and interconnected with myths in a variety of different ways. Daniel Wallace's Big Fish introduces these ideas of myths being more imortant than merely stating facts and knowledge. Throughout the novel, william, son of Edward Bloom, tries to understand the truth in his father's life as it nears his death. Through all of the tall tale stories and jokes that Edward passes onto his son, William has a hard time taking him seriouslt and becoming emotionally close with him. Near the endm William was finalyll able to come to a realization about his father. NOt only did he learn all of the jokes

One of the stories goes as so, Patterson–Gimlin film 1967. A man who goes by the name Roger Patterson and his friend were out in bluff creek woods, which in fact, is famous for it massive amounts of bigfoot reporting, creating a Bigfoot documentary. While out in the woods on October 20th near 1:15. Patterson hit gold and surprisingly saw a strange figure crouching beside a tree. Patterson horse started becoming unsettled of the strange animal about 25 feet away from them. Patterson settled his horse and got his camera and ran towards the animal.

In The Power of Myth, Joseph Campbell states, “…myths offer life models. But the models have to be appropriate to the time in which you are living, and our time has changed so fast that what was proper fifty years ago is not proper today. The virtues of the past are the vices of today. And many of what were thought to be the vices of the past are the necessities of today. The moral order has to catch up with the moral necessities of actual life in time, here and now. And that is what we are not doing.” I support Joseph Campbell’s stance that ideals and paradigms we rely on now have changed over time and will change in time. Myths are used as a tool to teach children the conduct they should be exhibiting. Nonetheless, these myths and conducts

Myths to most people, appear to be just stories people tell for entertainment. But for centuries, these myths have been told for centuries and serve a specific type of purpose. There are so many myths in our world today that come from so many cultures and nations, one can only assume how much of an impact it has had on our world. For example, the Greek myths such as the Olympians or Prometheus were prominent myths because they explained the origins of our world. In addition to Greek mythology, we have Egyptian myths where the gods fought each other for power. These myths and legends, although are just stories, Joseph Campbell sees them as a significant part of life.
