The Loch Ness monster. Arguably, one of the most known cryptid animals of all time, is said to reside within Loch Ness. This is the biggest body of fresh water in the British Isles stretching about twenty-four miles in length and at one point is about a mile and a half wide. On average, it provides with a depth of about 500 feet of icy, dark, and gloomy water ("Nessie of loch Ness"). Naturally the perfect hiding spot for something that doesn’t exits right? This creature is said to be large in size almost like a living dinosaur. The beast has a horse-like head and a humped back with one or two humps. Its skin is said to resemble that

Radford claims that the Nessie existence is most likely a hoax. He states that the way the beast even began to gain attention was by a local newspaper, The Inverness Courier. In that particular article, was not a story about how the creature exists, but rather, the opposite (Radford). Benjamin Radford is a renowned skeptic and writer who devotes a majority of his writing to cryptid and paranormal creatures, entities, and encounters (About Benjamin Radford). Thus, he probably carries a bias along with his ideas. However, this bias shouldn’t interfere with his writing on the Loch Ness Monster or any other mythical being because he first researches heavily to make obvious his reasoning. This opinion on the mysterious animal that is said to reside in the Loch was published not too long ago (2015) on Livescience.com where Radford serves as the 'bad science' columnist …show more content…
From political arguments to monsters like the Loch Ness monster; what causes this blind belief in ideas, actions, and myths? Specifically, monsters are quite interesting when analyzing what possible motive or outcome was being sought to achieve at the time of their creation. There had to be a point to be made other than trying to prove a silly made up beings' existence in my opinion. Also, I think that sometimes things like monsters could be stories that have been told within a society for a long time perhaps just a part of the particular society's folklore or even a biblical story. Both folklore and biblical stories for majority of people are means to conveying a lesson or recommendation. Perhaps this is what occurred in the case of the creature that resides in the Loch, given that the very first account in which this being is mentioned is a tale of a Cristian saint. However, Scottish folklore too, plays a big role. The section about the Loch Ness monster, in the Britannica encyclopedia by Amy Tikkanen claims that the evidence supporting the existence of a “Nessie” to be a hoax by bringing up the fact that Scottish folklore contains many skeptical water beings. The article provides a very specific and essential bit of information that can help disprove the existence of this monster. She mentions that the Loch Ness Monster is a probable fake by saying, “Many of these alleged
The first reason bigfoot isn’t real is the supposed evidence that he is part human. There is no proof that he is part human. Just because he looks like a human a little, doesn’t mean he is part human. Sure, he has similar features, but does that really mean he is part human? Not in any way at all.
They described the beast as having a long neck followed a large body (see photograph 2) and they watched it until it left the road and entered the water.
The legend of the Chupacabra says many things about the human race. One prominent thing it says about humanity is the need to explain the supernatural. Humans have always fabricated explanations to make sense of abnormal happenings. A few examples besides the legend of the Chupacabra are Bigfoot, werewolves, the Loch Ness Monster, and vampires. People do not like not knowing something. They need explanations. Humans would rather make up a scary monster than believe wild animals could kill their cattle. They do not want to be scared of every living creature. A community will unknowingly create a monster so they only fear one creature, rather than every creature. Another thing the legend of the Chupacabra says about
In scotland there's a monster lurking in lake loch ness. A unsolved mystery of a long
Bigfoot (or “Sasquatch”) is a tall, dark haired cryptid humanoid that has become a mystery to the American people. Unfortunately, many believe that the furry beast is simply a hoax, while others know what they saw in the mysterious forest. Based on countless discoveries, Bigfoot has existed at some point. Considering the proof presented by dedicated Bigfoot scientists and fans, totally debunking the controversial topic of Bigfoot would seem ignorant. Perhaps people are not digging deep enough to find the creature.
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
It look like a fish but it has two legs. This monster is a curiosity. No one knows what it really is.It should be a fish that grows on the seafloor.They are have foot.The world has monsters just legend, but why there is a real monster?Monsters only in legends and fairy tales, but in earth has a monster!This no one believes there is a monster, but the monster wounding, but the data show that it does not harm humans.What if it was just a new species?strange, how would the world have the monster?Two zoologists were called in to make a professional evaluation of the creature.They agreed that this was some unknown species of animal.It have two feet, two leg,
Grover Krantz, admits that’s the height of the creature is within human size but the chest is too large to be human like. He quoted “ I can confidently state that no man of that stature is built that broadly.” Eventually they got a second opinion by David Daegling and Daniel Schmitt, they are anthropologists. They both claimed that the chest was “impossibly wide” for a humans body and also said that the creature walks in a manner impossible for a person to duplicate. Many people say they don't believe in Bigfoot because there is a lot of fake videos and pictures, but people tend to ignore the scientific evidence that is given to the world about him.
My logic is that i think bigfoot is real because,if god put dinosaurs and all them kind of animals what's the difference between a flying thing that can eat u or a 1000 pound trex monster different than a bear human like creature that we humans call bigfoot. Scientist found skulls and bones of bigfoot but some people have claimed to have saw bigfoot but some people have also said they have seen ghost to.Bigfoot in my opinion I think it is a breed between two gorillas that is just oversized and just bigger than what people think they are but when it is night and u see a figure in the dark sometimes people think it is a lot bigger than what it appears to be.Scientist have studied bigfoot and found a bunch of evidence the proved bigfoot is real like one of the things that the scientist found was big bones that had the shape of a human kind of but was about 9 feet tall and there is no human in this world that is 9 foot tall the tallest person in the world is 8 foot eleven and his name is Robert Waldow.
The Montauk Monster was the body of a dead animal that was found in Montauk, New York by Jenna Hewitt and three friends on July 12, 2008. It was a naked, bloated beast that appeared to have a beak. It both disturbed and intrigued the world, because no animal had been seen like it before.
The Claim: The "weird" claim is that there is a population of large hairy "ape men" (a non-human missing link) that grow to be up to seven and a half feet tall that are known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch that live in the Northwest part of the United States. Bigfoot is a previously undiscovered creature that inhabits the Pacific Northwest of the United States and other various mountainous areas around the world but has never been conclusively proven to exist. My contention is that there is no such thing as Bigfoot and that there is no credible evidence for the existence of Bigfoot, furthermore I intend to show that the existence of Bigfoot is not the best explanation for what people may think
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.
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.
by St. Columba. After that there was no more sightings till the 1930’s during the first World War. The Loch Ness monster’s hump estimated at 50 feet long. A lot of people believe that the Loch Ness monster is a dinosaur that never died and somehow stayed alive.
3. The Loch Ness monster obviously exists. Scientists have not been able to show that it does not exist.
