Loch Ness is a 755 feet freshwater lake found in Highland, Scotland. According to few witnesses, on this large body of water exists a monster. Known as Nessie to the local, this creature was said to first appear on May 2, 1993. There is only a hundred of reported sightings of this monster all describing it as “a dragon-like water serpent”. However, searches made by the local officials and different groups of individuals failed to obtain any evidence that will prove the existence of Nessie. Is Nessie a myth? Or is it just hiding somewhere and lurking behind the darkness of the deep.
I was a runner up in the philosophy division of Xavier's 100 Level Essay Contest, which is open to all students enrolled in 100 level classes in humanities departments.
A lot of the stories came from native americans from the northwest. Some of these tribes who lived near Mount St. Helens told of giant ape men who on occasion came down from the mountain and stole fish right from the nets of fishermen. Could these ape men be the ancestors of the creatures we are looking for today, or just a silly excuse used by fishermen who came home empty handed? As time went on the stories changed to show the mountain creatures as horrible cannibals who were even blamed for murders among tribes. Stories differed from tribe to tribe(“bigfoot”).

One thing that many find hard to dismiss is the amount of people who claim to have seen him. Most people dismiss this as crazy stories. But some of these stories don't sounds so crazy. A large number of these sighting have even been caught on camera. The most known of all of these is the Patterson-Gimlin film. This video shows what seems to be a Bigfoot walking through the camera shot. However like any other legend many people created hoaxes to trick people into believing that it's true, and many say that this
Bigfoot or Sasquatch is a huge, ape-like creature who apparently lives in the forests of many different parts of the world. There is witness and or evidence to support the existence of Bigfoot, however other people would have been turned down the evidence. Some people truly believe in Bigfoot existence, and others are entirely opposite to the idea, while out of these people may not be sure what they believe. What people “believe” or “disbelieve” on Bigfoot, will not have the slightest impact on reality, until there is undeniable proof supporting the existence of the creature. This world holds mysteries that most people are simply unable to wrap their minds around, whether they believe it or not.
When I was seven, Zoey 101 was my favorite television show. Every Friday night, I would sit on my bed with a bowl of Froot Loops and my dog Linda at the foot of my bed. I sat and engorged myself with cereal while watching the show, occasionally rubbing Linda’s furry belly. Despite my intense love for the show, I had to hide the show from my grandmother due to the kissing scenes.
There is plenty of evidence about the strange creatures in the world, but perhaps the most well known is Bigfoot. This creature has been sighted in the United States region. Bigfoot has been described as a cross between a gorilla and a human that stands in the ranges of seven to fifteen feet tall. This creature is described as being covered from head to toe with long reddish-brown fur. Bigfoot is real, due to the many sighting, photographs, videos, and evidence leading to his existence.
The Loch ness monster myth has been around for a very long time. Deep down in the depths of Loch Ness Lake, this monster has been averting capture and clear documentation from humans for over 80 years. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? This myth is a lot like the legend of Bigfoot. Although some may believe in the existence of Bigfoot, Bigfoot is not real because there is a lack of evidence, other theories, and it overall just isn’t logical. Therefore, Bigfoot is fake.
In the murky, ice cold waters of Scotland, you see a long neck swimming towards you.”The Loch-Ness monster!” you think, but I’m here to tell you differently. The sightings of the Loch-Ness monsters are just illusions
The media has interviewed people who have seen the beast. Mr. and Mrs. Spice were passing the Loch on their way to London from Northern Scotland, the couple saw a large creature on the road in front of them. Also, Hugh Ayton asserted to have seen the beast from the shore. Ayton and a few friends got into a motor boat for a mile. He said “I could never forget it’s large oval eye looking at him from its horse-like head”. A Monk at Fort Augustus Abbey, he was walking with an organist when they both saw the beast with its neck and head above the water and it was claimed to be about 6 feet high. Consequently, these sightings still don’t help people decide that Nessie is a true
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.
In the manner that the creators of the Waterhorse production have chosen to showcase the narrative of the Waterhorse, they have provided the audience with some extremely strong similarities to the famous legend of the Loch Ness Monster. These similarities are displayed throughout the whole of the film with the use of various film techniques such as camera angles, lighting, and sound which have assisted to emphasize the bewildering yet enthralling story behind it.
We all love to think about what else could be out there that we don 't know about. We love mysteries. And when we get a glimpse of something mysterious, we are intrigued and want to learn more. On some special occasions, you get a glimpse of something truly mysterious. For example, in 2013, an Iranian vessel found the dead carcass of an unknown sea creature in the Persian Gulf. Now, three years later, people are still coming up with theories on what it could be. It has remained an exciting mystery for us all during these past few years.
