Did you know that the first recorded sighting of the Loch
Ness Monster was 1,450 years ago?
The first known recorded sighting of old Nessie comes
from an early Christian Irish missionary, by the name of Saint Columbia. In 565
A.D., Saint Columbia reported a “certain water monster” in the 24-mile long
loch near the village of Drumnadrochit, Scotland.[1]
However, Nessie has been pretty shy since her famous
sighting in 1925, until last year after a 90 year game of hide and seek.[2]
According to Glen Campbell, founder of The Official Loch
Ness Monster Fan Club, Nessie has now been captured on satellite imagery after
all these years.[3]
