I heard a report on Fox News today that made me have a sigh of relief, I’d heard most of my life about a monster called the “Loch Ness” monster being spotted in lakes around Scotland and it caused my skin to crawl every time I would hear it. I remember throughout my life when I was anywhere on water or near it, I would look for the Loch Ness monster but deep down inside I never really wanted to believe it was real.
I must admit throughout life whenever I took a dip in lakes and other water sources I would constantly be looking over my shoulder for an introduction to Mr. Loch Ness. Loch Ness had impressed me and it did cause me to ponder if it really existed.
In today’s report it indicated Italian geologist Luigi Piccardi is crediting the Great Glen fault system for the reported sightings of a long time legendary beast haunting Scotland’s waters. One researcher believes that the trembling ground and fizzes are actually caused by active faults happening beneath the Loch Ness and other close by lakes.
The appearance of the infamous Loch Ness monster would normally appear when there was Earth tremors and spinning bubbles occurring in the Scottish lake with the a name of Loch Ness.
Piccardi stated in a published Italian newspaper La Repubblica that, “There are different type of effects on the surface of the water that can be related to the activity of the fault.”
He asserts that alleged Loch Ness monster sightings coincide with periods they have had seismic activity in the area. He said, “There was a period (1920-1930) when there was increased activity of the fault; and in fact, people saw the effects of earthquakes on the water.”
Fox News reported the Great Glen Fault is (100 kilometers) which is longer than 62 miles and it cuts the Scottish Highlands into halves (northern and southern).
The report stated the San Andreas Fault and Anatolian Fault where they have rock slides passing one another with “no” vertical movement which causes the creation of the legendary Loch Ness that’s the deepest freshwater lake in Britain.
The Daily Mail reported that there were minor earthquakes recorded in the years of 1816, 1888, 1890 and 1901 which had magnitudes of 3 or 4 that caused the fault.
The first appearance of the Loch Ness monster’s international fame came in the 1930’s after a London surgeon, Kenneth Wilson, took a photograph that showed a serpentine head and neck and it was then extensively published. Years later the photograph was discovered to be a hoax.
There’s been years of people looking and searching for the Loch Ness monster and they’ve strapped cameras to dolphins and miniature submarines to end-up finding “no” evidence that “Nessie” ever did exist. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) conducted satellite imagine and sonar beams researching the lake but to “no” avail either.
There has been “no” proven scientific evidence the Loch Ness monster ever existed but people are “still” interested in finding the beast and I’m sure they’ll continue searching for it for years to come. George Edwards, a boatman, claimed in 2012 the he had seen and photographed the Loch Ness monster but skeptics actually dismissed it as either a large fisher or floating log.
