Author's Notes: The Loch Ness Monster
Perhaps one of the most enduring characters of modern day folklore,
Nessie has been the subject of countless conspiracy theories and urban
legends. Ideas about her origin and nature are widely varied,
from some believing that she is a plesiosaur (a species that was
supposed to have died out 65 million years ago) to others believing
that she is nothing more than a floating log seen by an overactive
imagination. Until a slightly better quality picture or video
footage is taken, we will never know.
