The legend of the Loch Ness Monster is an intriguing tale of a mysterious creature living within the depths of Loch Ness in Scotland.
While plenty of speculation regarding the actual existence of this creature abounds, there is no denying the captivating nature of this particular legend.
Although people have speculated about the existence of an unclassified creature living in Loch Ness for thousands of years, the myth did not become an international sensation until around 1933.
Soon after, the media began running stories about sightings of a creature in Loch Ness.
While stories of the Loch Ness Monster seem to ebb and flow within the media, a new sighting or image of Nessie, as the creature is known, is usually all that it takes to prompt a new interest in this old legend.
There is a creature living elusively in Loch Ness and has yet to be classified as a species.
This body of water has some very deep portions that would be perfect for Nessie to retreat to, making it nearly impossible for scientists to get a glimpse of the creature.
On the other hand, sonar scans of Loch Ness have been inconclusive with no indisputable evidence pointing to a creature residing within even the deepest depths.
Nessie, as the creature is affectionately known, appeared in stories from Scotland as early as the 6th century.
Today, most scientists believe it impossible that such a large creature could continue to live in the waters of Loch Ness, but others aren't convinced.
Through the centuries, others reported seeing a strange hump in the water or an elephant-like creature lumbering near Loch Ness or the nearby River Ness.
Those who have reported seeing the creature out of the water comment on its elephant-like skin.
People who have glimpsed the creature on land also report no discernable front limbs or appendages, and use words such as lumbering to describe its gait, as if it is uncomfortable on land.
People who believe that a creature like this lives in Loch Ness say that the most likely explanation of such a creature is that it is a prehistoric beast that has managed to survive in the secluded area around Loch Ness.
Believers cite examples of other creatures thought to be a myth that have actually been found in recent years, such as the giant squid, as an example that a prehistoric creature may still survive in today's world.
If there is one creature in the loch, there must be more in order for it to reproduce, yet no evidence exists of multiple creatures.
Modern equipment, such as radar and sonar, have also increased the likelihood that if a large, 25-foot long creature lurked in the dark waters of Loch Ness, someone would find it.
Given all of the accounts in and around the loch, is the creature real or just a clever story trumped up by the locals to increase tourism to a remote and beautiful location?
Since no actual creature has ever been captured and documented, the proof of Nessie is left to the individual.
If Nessie truly is a cryptid of unexplained origin or a descendent of the plesiosaurs, the creature could be one of the last of its kind.
So many photos are blurry that Sasquatch photographs are often called blobsquatch pictures because the image of the supposed creature is just one big blog in the background.
It's unlikely that any one Sasquatch photograph would convince people of the creature's existence, but added to a body of evidence, including footprints and videos, it would certainly help convince the skeptics.
Just as biologists patiently wait for shy animals to emerge from the forest to be captured on camera, Sasquatch hunters must also remain patient since it's believed that the elusive creature shies away from human habitation.
By that time, the shy creature has already melted back into the forest gloom away from the prying eyes of humans and camera lenses.
Add to that the initial shock, surprise or even terror of unexpectedly seeing a huge ape-like creature, and you can understand why there isn't any better photographic evidence.

The ship floats upon water and the balloon upon air; but the ship differs from the balloon, and the ship and the balloon differ from the flying creature and flying machine.
A sailing ship is supported by the water and requires merely to be propelled; a flying creature and a flying machine constructed on the living type require to be both supported and propelled.
The physical properties of water and air explain in a great measure how the sailing ship differs from the balloon, and how the latter differs from the flying creature and flying machine constructed on the natural type.
The balloon in the absence of wind can only rise and fall in a vertical line; the flying creature can fly in a horizontal plane in any given direction.
The balloon is inefficient because of its levity; the flying creature is efficient because of its weight.
The inertia of the mass of the flying creature enables it to control and direct its movements in the air.
She regulates the surfaces to the strength and weight of the flying creature and the air currents to which the surfaces are to be exposed and upon which they are to operate.
The figure-of-8 and kite-like action of the wing referred to lead us to explain how it happens that the wing, which in many instances is a comparatively small and delicate organ, can yet attack the air with such vigour as to extract from it the recoil necessary to elevate and propel the flying creature.
In this case the air in rapid motion strikes the under surface of the kite and forces it up. The string and the hand are to the kite what the weight of the flying creature is to the inclined planes formed by its wings.
The way in which the natural wing rises and falls on the air, and reciprocates with the body of the flying creature, has a very obvious bearing upon artificial flight.
It only remains to be stated that the wing acts as a true kite, during both the down and the up strokes, its under concave or biting surface, in virtue of the forward travel communicated to it by the body of the flying creature, being closely applied to the air, during both its ascent and its descent.
