No, There have done a scan of the entire lake with this large machine that was supposed to find the monster, but nothing even close to that size showed up. Also all the old pictures and stuff has been proved fake.

i don't know but one interesting fact is that of all sea monsters,sea serpents lake monsters and lake serpents 98%of sightings all appear in the same Parallel on earth.that Parallel [56 north] includes loch ness

No. I don't believe in nessie but i think that there probably is sea creatures that we haven't discovered yet.

The big problem with Nessie's being a plesiosaur or a dinosaur or some such, aside from the fact that these creatures do not appear in the fossil record after 65 million years ago, is that Loch Ness is a post-glacial lake. The valley it occupies was glaciated (filled with ice = no lake at the time) mere tens of thousands of years ago. Whatever lives there now could not have taken refuge in the Loch since the Mesozoic - there WAS NO Loch Ness until relatively recently.
I think Nessie is a mixture of misidentified waves, fish, otters, seals and logs, conflated with the occasional kelpie encounter (along with some deliberate hoaxing).
It ain't no plesiosaur.

i think its possible i mean maybe not a monster maybe a dinosour thats lasted through everthing unseen a oversized turtle that got into some kind of toxic a disfigured sperm whale

it could defentialy be a monster as well i mean theres not enough to prove its real and not enough to prove its not its like ghost not enough evidence to prove its real or not

I believe there is some truth to it. All myths come from reality in the beginning then it expands.

Yes, I believe that at one time it did exist. There is stories of the monks that would feed it.

Nope, for the same reason. It can't have lived for 2000 years on its own and if there was a family there would be bones...
