There are definetly large monsters in the loch. There are eel and fish (like sturgeons) but the Loch Ness monster is not an eel or a fish. The accounts are very mysterious and horrifying. From the report of the 'carpark lady' story it just goes to show just how loud and just how ominous this particular monster can be.
Unfortunately I cannot find the old website (discovered more than a decade ago) that had written reports of monster sightings throughout Scotland i'll keep looking though.
Interesting that this website had a report of this monster. This monster was seen crossing roads, and is known to use scarce water like streams at night/early-mornings to navigate.
It is also important to know that this monster is very nochturnal. Infact the most shocking/disturbing encounters have been reported at night when there is no light or when it is approaching dawn. They also seem used to the Scottish climate and its surroundings like glens, gallows, creeks and caverns deep below water where it can hide. A sinking point had been recorded in Loch Ness of a depth of more than 825 meters.
Things like having things knocked out of your hand and even been tripped over by tentacles or flippers. This behaviour would be more attributed to the Sasquatch but in this case not. A more amphibian or semi-aquatic critter is the story I discuss.
Perhaps it can breathe below water.
Going spying for them at night has been a hobby of mine and I recently went on a mission to discover more about Lake Cryptids in the midwinter we had. Snow and ice, sleet and frost in the mornings and these mornings were very dark indeed. Being out in the highlands with only an LED torch and supplies, was the route I took. I was nestled in between two mountains on high-ground and it remained dark until 8am. E.g. it remained dark until 7am in the local sea-side town. This is because there are large mountains that were once volcanoes and the lake creates its own climate. So take early January into consideration, Morning does not strike until an hour after city-time.
There is ice everywhere except for the forest bed or wooded areas and its getting dark an hour early.
To be continued...
Using only portable electromagnetic appliances like electric lanterns to guide you, can be the experience of a lifetime. I call myself an experienced Nessie "hunter" or finder.
Coastal pitch: There are some lakes that are so vast that you can pitch your campsite on the lakefront and spy. Even with a large crowd of friends this can be Dangerous even in the Summer months. Water can rise and take fast while you sleep. And what about the creatures out there?
Pitching aboard: Anchoring a boat or simple vessel during the night and doing your spying on deck is the most common adventure.
My favourite Highground pitch: Pitching your camp on a mountainside overlooking the lake is another option. Remember it does get dark and sometimes these critters come to you. Things that seem to entice them: fires, smoke, smoking, making noise or music, basically making your presence known to them, entices them.
ENDING
Most of us consider this unique creature to be cool and rare. Let's keep it that way. Like our Scottish and Irish, Scandanavian ancestors who were Strange to find. This is too. We came from remote islands and inlet-peoples; explorers were shocked to find people living here so sophisticative. Maybe this creature has a friendly nature to it like the Bigfoot. So… let's imagine that it does not want to stay in the limelight for too long.
