'The most convincing Nessie photograph ever': Skipper claims to have finally found proof that Loch Ness Monster exists(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/08/03/article-2183094-145BAD3A000005DC-270_306x423.jpg)
QuoteHe has dedicated more than two decades of his life to the hunt for the elusive Loch Ness monster, spending 60 hours a week on the water.
And now George Edwards believes he has finally fulfilled his ambition of spotting 'Nessie'; he even photographic evidence to prove it.
Mr Edwards, who has spent 26 years on his quest, managed to capture this image of a dark hump slinking in and out of the lake's waters from the deck of his boat, Nessie Hunter, before it vanished back into the deep.
He claims the picture is the best-ever taken of the Loch Ness Monster and proves once and for all that the elusive leviathan exists - and is definitely not a sturgeon.

QuoteThe Loch Ness Monster (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag) is a cryptid that is reputed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next. Popular interest and belief in the animal has varied since it was brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings.
The most common speculation among believers is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs. The scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, and explains sightings as a mix of hoaxes and wishful thinking. Despite this, it remains one of the most famous examples of cryptozoology. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname Nessie (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag) since the 1950s.
Origins(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LochNessUrquhart.jpg)
Loch Ness with w:en:Castle Urquhart in the foreground. by Asbestos The term "monster" was reportedly applied for the first time to the creature on 2 May 1933 by Alex Campbell, the water bailiff for Loch Ness and a part-time journalist, in a report in the Inverness Courier. On 4 August 1933, the Courier published as a full news item the assertion of a London man, George Spicer, that a few weeks earlier while motoring around the Loch, he and his wife had seen "the nearest approach to a dragon or pre-historic animal that I have ever seen in my life", trundling across the road toward the Loch carrying "an animal" in its mouth. Other letters began appearing in the Courier, often anonymously, with claims of land or water sightings, either on the writer's part or on the parts of family, acquaintances or stories they remembered being told. These stories soon reached the national (and later the international) press, which described a "monster fish", "sea serpent", or "dragon", eventually settling on "Loch Ness Monster".] On 6 December 1933 the first purported photograph of the monster, taken by Hugh Gray, was published in the Daily Express, and shortly after the creature received official notice when the Secretary of State for Scotland ordered the police to prevent any attacks on it. In 1934, interest was further sparked by what is known as The Surgeon's Photograph. In the same year R. T. Gould published a book,[ the first of many that describe the author's personal investigation and collected record of additional reports pre-dating 1933. Other authors have claimed that sightings of the monster go as far back as the 6th century.

This photo, taken in 1972, seems to show the Loch Ness Monster moving toward the right with its hump protruding well above the surface and its mouth open.

'Unequivocal': George, top, says he has even had the picture independently verified by a team of US military monster experts as well as a Nessie sighting specialist
US military monster expert!?!?!....I missed that rate when I was in the military! :o If I had known about it I surely would have went for it!
It may not be as well known, but we have a lake monster here in Ohio, Bessie, in Lake Erie. Someone actually caught one in 1931:
Lake Erie is the fourth largest of the five great lakes, it shores reach the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan. The lake is named after the Erie Tribe, a group of Native Americans who lived along its southern shores. Lake Erie supports a wide array of fish species and is the reported home of a large unknown serpent like creature. This creature, dubbed South Bay Bessie or just Bessie, is described by eyewitnesses as a gray to green serpent like creature ranging from 30 to 45 feet in length.
Documented encounters with Bessie go back as far as 1817 when the crew of a schooner reported seeing a large serpent like creature swimming in the lake. On July 8th, 1898, the Daily register of Sandusky, Ohio reported that the existence of these fierce monsters had been verified and their existence can no longer be questioned. The lake monster they reported on that year was said to be able to live on both land and in water. It was a fierce, ugly, coiling creature said to be twenty five to thirty feet long and at least a foot in diameter.
On July 22, 1931, the Register reported that sea serpent had been captured in the waters of Sandusky Bay. A New York Times reporter who happened to be visiting the town that Tuesday picked up on the story. The story which followed stated that two fishermen from Cincinnati, Clifford Wilson and Francis Cogenstose, noticed the creature as it surfaced near their boat earlier that day. Frightened the two men beat the beast over the head with an oar, knocking it unconscious. They then fastened a line to the creatures head and towed it to shore.
As their catch began to regain consciousness Wilson and Cogenstose obtained a packing box, 6 feet long, 3 feet wide and about 2 feet deep, and coiled the creature in, nailing on the cover for safety. As the numerous scoffers gathered around the box neither the beasts captures or any of the curious onlookers would chance opening the box for fear of being attacked. Police Captain Leo Schively, C.J. Irwin and Mel Harmon, of the Sandusky morning paper, and E.L. Ways, managing editor of a local afternoon paper, claimed that they saw the serpent as it was being boxed up and joined the fishermen in describing it as a large, snake like beast, with a black, dark green and white hide resembling that of an alligator.

More sightings:
http://www.monstertracker.com/article/sightings-lake-eries-south-bay-bessie
1969: Jim Schindler stated that a serpent came within six feet of him near South Bass Island. Although he did not see the length, the width was about two feet. The animal appeared to be about one foot under the water.
September 1981: Theresa Kovach of Akron saw a snake-like reptile that "was so large that could easily capsized a boat. It seemed to be playing." She watched it from a house on the Cedar Point Causeway.
1983 (year approximate): Mary M. Landoll told John Schaffner about her encounter with Bessie off Rye Beach in Huron. Mary went out to the front porch just before dawn when the lake was quite placid. From the left end, she heard a rowing sound and saw what looked like a capsized boat. It was a greenish-brown color about 40-50 feet in length. Landoll realized that it wasn't a boat, but an animal of some sort. It had a long neck and an eye was visible on the side of the head with a grin going up one side The creature appeared to be playing in the water, but still put a scare into the witness.
Summer 1985: Tony Schill of Avon, Ohio was boating with friends north of Vermilion when they reported the serpent. It was dark brown and had a flat tail. Tony stated that "five humps came out of the water. No way it was a sturgeon."
Dale Munro of Lorain was also boating when he came face-to-face with it. He stated that it had three humps and was black. He also reported that it was twice the size of his 16-foot boat. The location was in calm waters just off the Lorain Coast Guard Station and his sighting lasted three to four minutes.
That new picture does not look any more convincing than any of the previous pictures that were taken. Loch Ness is very interesting lake though if you have not been there. It is extremely dark lake, which I believe most lakes in Northern Scotland are, where you cannot see with your eyes more than a few meters in front of you. Of course systems like sonar can and are used on the lake. When I was there a few years ago they showed us a sonar graphic of a large mass under the water that they claimed to have taken a few days earlier. Of course, that might have just been to excite the tourists but interesting never the less.
Another similar article as the initial one posted....But below is a video of another Monster in Iceland..
In recent years ..There was also a claim of a monster being witnessed in the U.Ks Lake district...Windermere..
IF I recall Loch Ness is about 700 feet Deep and over 20 miles long..
That is a lot of water...!
