EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) -- Like tartan, bagpipes, and shortbread Scotland's Loch Ness Monster is as much an emblem as a tourist draw.
And now Nessie's back.
An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland's most mysterious lake.
"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45-feet (15 meters) long, moving fairly fast in the water," said Gordon Holmes, the 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video this past Saturday.

I remember learning of this in 3rd grade and to this day I am a sucker too, lol....I love all this stuff. I love reading of the Bermuda Triangle, and Big Foot.

Didn't I read somewhere recently that the person who allegedly shot that famous pic of Nessie in the lake, admitted it was a forgery? I mean, did anyone else ever hear that? Or did that happen in my dreams? :crazy:

I thought I read that too! I also remember hearing about a man dying and his family confessed that he had dressed up as Bigfoot for that infamous picture.

My daughter took a picture of something in Lake Eire (ok, ERIE) and I laughed because it almost looked like the Loch Ness monster pics. She had no clue what I was referring to!

Here it is:

This is not the fake one--What happened was the most famous picture taken at the surface decades ago was admitted to be a fake--a toy--Bigfoot huge footprints were also an admitted fake--but this new Nessie story sounds very interesting!

I've always believed in Nessie too

Remember that episode of the Goodies?? (lol)

i too have always believed there was a loch ness "monster" b/c i have seen interviews of people living in the area who have seen it and they seemed plausible to me. i think this new video which i have viewed is authentic. i have watched several TV specials on the search for the nessie and loch ness is very dark and deep. easy for a creature of this type of lurk. horray that there is finally something showing us what this creature appears to be.

I went swimming in Loch Ness when I was 18. I jumped off a pier and just kept going down, down, down. The water was ICE cold and all I could think of was Nessie! I almost drowned trying to get back to the top. Scariest experience of my life!

Omg Jilly- I would never swim in there LOL, how scary!

Pfff! Scots are such braggarts. We have a monster in lake Champlain that is ten times the size of Nessie! He eats wales whole! When he burps it causes local earthquakes! In winter his sneezes trigger blizzards! When he coughs volcanoes erupt! And when he far... well, if you ever wondered what causes global warming...
