Do you believe in monsters–or aliens, or ghosts…
A neat image surfaced in the media on Friday. (That’s not all that is said to have surfaced.) That attractive monster from Loch Ness was sighted–but in that oh-so-teasingly way that cleanly continues to divide the believers from the skeptics.
Reading about it, both sides have lots of ammo. There have been countless hoaxes–from Bigfoot hoaxes to the Lake George Monster Hoax to those crop circle jokers, to well, other Loch Ness Monster hoaxes.
On the other hand, there have been many, many sightings that are, supposedly, not hoaxes.
Here’s the latest:
Who knows?
What’s interesting, I think, is our fascination with such legends.
Believers in the Loch Ness Monster are aided by their intrigue of something more to this life than meets the eye. Most people, I think, have this fascination, and when invested in a particular legend can really stick to it. It doesn’t mean they’re wrong, but a lot of people have been susceptible to false beliefs as exemplified above.
It’s not just creatures, either. This expands into beliefs of epic scale. If you believe in aliens, then you might believe they’ve visited Earth. Some believe that life on Earth started as an alien experiment. Others believe that Reptilian people live among us today–seriously. Others yet have succumbed to the false belief that the end of the world was to happen already.
Such things offer answers for that which we can’t explain–or that which simply has no clean-cut explanation at all, i.e. when the world’s going to end, the ruling order of the human race (Reptilians), and how we got here. It has a relief component, as well, adding a dimension to life so as to not take too seriously the events that occur in the world before us. It also reminds me of the movie, The Matrix, and the observation within it: that all but a few walk around without a clue of what’s really going on.
None of these urges are abnormal at all–and you can’t blame people for looking for answers–though some do have manifestations that are a bit interesting.
How about you? What do you make of this photo? How about aliens, ghosts, or Reptilians?

loch ness monster rules but knowone in newcastle belive’s in him or her(is it boy or girl?)
I’ve heard of the Wendigo walking around in Northern Minnesota. And I remember something about a Minnesota Runestone . Out here, we have our Bigfoot.
Here’s the thing kids, and I’m going to sound patronising, because there are nufties out there who need to hear this – The testimony, or the eye witness account of the average & honest man IS FINAL. This is the way it works in courts, BECAUSE IT IS THE WAY IT IS, people are basically honest. It doesn’t mean that what they saw is definitely this or that, or that what it seems to represent is this or that necessarily, because there is always the possibility of confusion or deception, however, (and hear the knocking on the side of the coconut when I say this), if averarge Joe tells you he saw a creature that looked like the lochness monster, that’s what he saw.
there is defunatley a possibility
the dragons that are now proved to have been real escaped the meteor that wiped out the dinosoaurs by developing water skills to be fish as well as mammels the loch ness monster is probly a sea serpent ( wich is a dragon who lives in water)
