Lago Ness

The Loch Ness monster, Nessie familiarly called, is the name of a legendary creature that is said to inhabit Loch Ness, a deep freshwater lake (known as Loch Ness in Scotland) near the city ofInverness. Along with Bigfoot and the Yeti, Nessie is perhaps the "mystery" most widespread of cryptozoology.
Most scientists and other experts say that the evidence supporting the existence of Nessie isnot convincing, consider these reports and fraud or misidentifications of real creatures. Rumors of an alleged big animal or monster that dwells in the lake have circulated for centuries past 1,500years, although the accuracy, credibility and veracity of such stories has always been questioned. Many locals argue for their existence, but some skeptics suggest that the rumors of Nessie exist mostlyto support the tourism industry and local folklore.
