Underwater Nessie Pictures

These pictures taken in the 70's are probably the best evidence of Nessie to date, particularly the photo of the flipper. There have also been sonar images which show something large definitely is in the Loch, but what it is none can say.

Ah...I know those these photos well....

For the most part, I think I'm only seeing what I want to see in those pics. Several of them really look like nothing :lol:

Keep in mind the waters of Loch Ness are extremely murky so as far as underwater pictures go these are about as good as we can get.

some of them are pretty good, others i really can't tell them apart from a rock... but then again, if they were perfectly clear, people would automatically dissmiss them as fakes, but when they are hard to see, then nobody really knows... those do look real, i do think there could be a nessie, but i think that there would be a family of them or something, because i don't think one creature could have lived so long.

It's my understanding that the really clear photo of the flipper has been heavily enhanced.

Cool...I used to visit the nessie sites all the time. I know one thing, when I was younger and lived in Europe, they would tell us th stories of the Loch Ness monster and it used to intrigue me yet freak me out. I don't know exactly what it is, but the water the creature is supposed to be in gives me the willies. Maybe it's the vast and murkiness of it. Maybe it's the surrounding gloomy, dreary castle and weather.

I don't see anything :(

hmm, umm.. i duno. Me 2, im intruiged n freaked by nessie - the thought of something that big living htere for so long without being seen clearly/caught clearly on camera is definitely spine-shiver stuff, and at the same time, the logical voice in my head keeps asking how is it possible. We're talking about a really big animal, who presumably eats a lot. surely it would have run out of fish by now? Im just not sure.

[Valnorran]

I've read that seals and sometimes even porpoises find their way into the loch, as do salmon, so their is apparently a connection to the ocean. Is that connection big enough for an animal as large as Nessie is purpoted to be to get in and out undetected?

Also, sonar scans can be deceptive. A large signature could be a large object, or a bunch of little objects clumped together, like a school of fish.

The thing is, seals and porpoises do not fit the description of Nessie. Nessie has a very long tapered neck which seals and porpoises do not have. Some suggest it might be a Conger Eel (whatever that is) and that would make sense, I guess.

Another interesting theory is that Nessie is not a creature at all but rather some supernatural/spiritual being. Supposedly Aleister Crowley or someone did some black magick at Loch Ness and conjured up the monster back before the modern sightings started. I don't know if I believe this, though, because the sightings go back hundreds of years.

What I'm asking, though, is could a creature as big as Nessie is supposed to be slip in and out of the loch through this connection to the ocean without being noticed?

Yeah, him and Kevin Carlyon. ;)

Maybe, but perhaps it doesn't need to slip in and out. Maybe it is perfectly comfortable remaining landlocked? There have also been reported sightings of the creature on land. I'm not sure what it means but it is interesting.

I say we drain the lake and end this Nessie debate!
Other then that I bet it'll never be solved.

Draining the lake is impossible because it is so huge. :fishsmack

Nothing's impossible if you put your mind to it!
Come on..we could do it. One bucket-full at a time. _whistle_

[HorseCrow]

Aww, I thought there were new pics- I know these well.

[Laisrean]

I wish there were some new pics. If anyone has any I would appreciate it if they'd post them. :)

[HolographicJoe]

The pics are such crap. I've been fascinated bynessie for years, and really, all the pics are crap. they could be anything, dead chickns, and we'd still say, "OOOhh you can make out a flipper.."

Also, there hasn't been a Nessie sighting in years. The were ver common, especailly in the 30's when they were blasting and building the road around the loch. The saw the monster very often at the at time, but less and less now and the loch is becoming polluted.

I read an interesting theory that nessie was actaully a giant sea slug. I can't recall the particulars, but it semed a good solid theory, better than the immortal plesiosaur theory that seems to be the most common.

[Tisiphone]

If I had to pick one paranormal creature it would be nessie, i love the thought of something in the water, that's been there a hundred years plus.

[enchancea]

Those pics werent really that good but they were the first I seen that were underwater. I think there definitely something in there. As far as it being this giant creature that has lived for hundreds and hundreds of years.....I dont know. I believe that there are more than one of them and that they are just some type of animal that has yet to be discovered.

[Ceres]

really really deep water freaks me out. there must be THINGS living near the bottom that never see the light of day and we know nothing about....i hate that ;)

[whitewater]

that is the coolest thing ever... especially the flipper. its kind of creepishly fascinating.

[SIthErAc]

i dont understand why they wouldnt try out thermal cameras if the water is sooo murky i mean more likely if its alive itd be giving off somesort of heat? i do think iam correct in assumeing so but it seems to me such a large body mass and no heat then what is it? cant be reptilian or itd be dead due to its cold blooded ness and the murkyness of the water,
soooo mabye they coould take thermal pictures of the lake from a satelite? just an idea

[Dragonflywings]

There is so much in this world still unknown - So, yes, I believe there is a possiblity that Nessie could be very real. I am fascinated by the unknown.
