What is the Loch Ness monster ? The Loch Ness Monster’s first sighting and much more. The monster, also known as Nessie, is one of Scotland’s most popular myths and legends. Since at least the time of St. Columba, there have been rumoured sightings about the Loch Ness Monster. However, it has only been recently that sightings of Nessie have really expanded.The Loch Ness Monster’s first sighting was in the 20th century was in 1933, when George Spicer and his wife saw a strange creature cross the road. It was in front of their car, when they were driving. The Spicers were from London, and they were driving to Inverness on holiday. The road that they were on was recently constructed, and was on the part of the loch that was largely uninhabited at the time. This led people to suspect that there could be something unknown in the area. The monster was seen to have a large body and a long neck that was slightly thicker than an elephant’s trunk.
The year after, in 1934, a motorcyclist called Arthur Grant claimed to nearly hit a monster. This was when he was riding at the north-eastern part of the loch. The monster he described had a small head and a long neck. When he saw the monster, it was around 1am at night. This has led people to suspect that he may have seen a seal or an otter, and he later imagined it to look bigger than it actually was.
One of the most famous Loch Ness Monster sightings comes from the “Surgeon’s Photograph”, which shows an image of the Loch Ness Monster sticking its head out of the water. However, this was later revealed to be a hoax
