Mythical Monster
In order to find the Loch Ness – the mythical monster, often known as Nessie, hundreds of volunteers equipped themselves with webcams, drones, and hydrophones assembled in northern Scotland. The weekend’s two-day search is being hailed as the largest in the past 50 years.
Hunt for the monster
The Loch Ness Center in Inverness, Scotland, is organizing the mystery hunt in collaboration with Loch Ness Exploration, a research organization that examines the lake and other unexplained events. Volunteers are searching the water from boats and the lakeshore, and webcams are being used by people all around the world.

The Mythical Monster has a history
Monster tales have been told for generations, but the current story of Nessie has only been around for 90 years. The mountain-fringed loch, the largest body of freshwater in the UK by volume and one of the deepest at up to 750 feet (230 meters), was where hotel manager Aldie Mackay saw a “water beast” in 1933.
The mystery of Nessie spawned books, TV shows, and films after the incident in 1933 was reported by the local newspaper “The Inverness Courier,” with its then editor Evan Barron describing the creature as a “monster,” and the location became a popular tourist destination.

Sightings of the mythical creature
There have been thousands of independent reports of the fabled creature up to this point. Many ideas identify the creature as a large eel, a sturgeon, a prehistoric marine reptile, or even an escaped circus elephant.
However, the mythology is a benefit for tourists in the gorgeous Scottish Highlands region. Some people think the sightings are hoaxes or might be explained by floating logs or strong winds. A volunteer affirmed, “I think there’s got to be something that’s fueling the speculation,” adding, “I do think that there’s got to be something in the loch.”
