The famous Nessie, allegedly living in a Scottish lake Loch Ness, first seen in 1933. Decades later, it became it’s finally clear that the legend of the monster got such popularity as a result of conspiracy. “For 80 years of modern about a thousand stories about this animal – quoted by the BBC the words of marine biologist Adrian Sheen. – Usually, the emphasis is on the fact that all these were respected people, according to who can be trusted, but never analyzed who these were people by the nature of their occupation. “In April 1933, Oldie Mackay, walking with her husband along the shore of the lake, saw “something black and wet. “When Mrs. Mackay’s husband began to descend to the edge of the water, she cried out: “Stop! Beast!” In may of that year Inverness Courier reporter Alex Campbell published an article in which told the story of Nessie. Adrian Sheen is one of few scientists trying to find the Loch Ness monster, and one of the most famous skeptics doubting its existence. “She (Oldie Mackay) immediately screamed about the beast, although she caught a glimpse of the object, ” – said the biologist, adding that this is a very important point. Expert I’m sure that in a similar situation, people, as a rule, don’t know that they see. Shin studied hundreds of eyewitness accounts, dividing them into two groups. In about half the cases, the monster was seen by tourists, amateur researchers who came to look for Nessie. The scientist is sure that these people just fell victim to the mass hysteria that unfolded around the lake. Shin emphasizes that people from this group really believe that they saw something. The second group is locals. After examining who they were, Shin was surprised: the vast most witnesses witnessing Nessie with their own eyes, including the Mackay family, were the owners of local hotels, their relatives or close friends. The scientist is sure that this is about large-scale falsification, which was beneficial to the nascent tourism business. The story of Nessie was not born in Madame’s head Mackay. The legend of the monster that is found in local reservoirs, dates back to the VI century. According to legend, St. Columbus with prayers defeated the monster in the river Ness. The most famous proof of the existence of Nessie was the “picture of a surgeon” – a famous photograph of a dinosaur head sticking out of the water, which in 1934 was made by a London physician, Kenneth Wilson. That fact, that the picture was falsified, was established by experts only in 1994 year. According to Visit Scotland, The Legend of Nessie It brings the local tourism industry approximately $ 1 million per year.
