Exactly two decades ago, on the sixteenth of May 1996, was opened the first and currently only official registry clashes of people with the Loch Ness monster.
Local scientists, cryptozoologists and officials decided to create a unified the base where all plausible stories will be entered, as well as photo and video materials associated with the monster living in the depths Scottish lake.
Gary Campbell, who is the person in charge and one of founders of the registry, says that over these twenty years he and his colleagues managed to get a little more than a thousand certificates of encounters with the alleged prehistoric creature who miraculously survived to the present day. You might reasonably think that this is quite modest figure, but the fact is that not all are entered into the register observations and materials of eyewitnesses.
For example, in order for a story about Nessie to be documented officially, testimonies of several strangers are needed friend of people on the same day near a pond and describing the incident in a similar way. And the pictures and videos, as you might guess, should portray something that really could be a Loch Ness monster, not a big snag or glare on the surface of the water. So many testimonies and materials are screened out, although not the fact that all of them do not deserve attention of specialists.
The registry of certificates has replenished with one more picture
This year, the registry has acquired so far only one new entry, to which was attached to the photo below. First of May a traveler from Texas swam across a lake in a motor boat in accompanied by a guide. Suddenly a woman noticed not far from the vessel is a large and elongated dark spot. First american thought it was a shadow, but there was nothing nearby that could throw her into the water. The tourist realized that she probably managed to meet the legendary cryptid, and quickly photographed the lake.

Campbell says: “There is still no consensus on who the same Nessie is in fact. Some consider it relict dinosaur. Others suggest that Loch Ness lives incredibly large fish. Still others are convinced that this creature from parallel world, and to us it penetrates through a hole in space under water. You can only with accuracy to say that there really is something in the lake. There are hundreds of it. confirmations, and our task is to collect them, and at the same time careful selection of just noteworthy facts. ”
According to Gary, the Loch Ness monster was known even before our era. So, the Roman legionnaires who conquered at the dawn of Christian era celtic expanses claimed to be seen in the waters of the lake a huge snake. And at the beginning of the sixth century in the biography of the Irish Monk Krimtan was pointed out that the saint fought with a similar aquatic a beast on the river Ness and drove a hostile creature into the lake.
