Loch Ness Monster
The Loch Ness Monster (), known affectionately as Nessie, is a mythical creature in Scottish folklore that is said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is often described as large, long-necked, and with one or more humps protruding from the water. Popular interest and belief in the creature has varied since it was brought to worldwide attention in 1933.

Public interest skyrocketed, and countless letters were sent detailing different sightings.R. Binns ''The Loch Ness Mystery Solved'' pp 19–27 The letters ...
