Man's Photo Of The 'Loch Ness Monster' Has Experts Scrambling

George Edwards was no stranger to the dark depths of Loch Ness. For decades, he'd shuttled tourists across its murky waters, all of them hoping to see that elusive beast: the Loch Ness Monster. But one afternoon, the day he'd waited his entire career for finally arrived. He rushed for his camera and snapped a single photo — not knowing that it would send the world into a frenzy and leave experts scrambling for answers.

A Magical Place

Yep, tourists come from all over to nab a glimpse of the legendary Loch Ness Monster, and George helps them do it. But after years exploring the vast lake, he claimed to have seen something that even skeptics couldn't explain away entirely.

Unmatched Confidence

"I believe in these creatures," George has said. "Far too many people have been seeing them for far too long." But George is far from the first explorer to have witnessed something suspicious out on Loch Ness.

The First Sighting

The first recorded encounter dates all the way back to the year 565, when St. Columba was attacked by a "water beast" while swimming in Loch Ness. Strangely enough, though, the next supposed sighting wouldn't come for hundreds of years.

Continued Intrigue

From the late 1800s, brushes with the monster apparently began to increase. And Nessie — as the monster was nicknamed — began to be described as a crocodile or alligator-like creature. But could all those encounters just have been with non-mythical creatures instead? Some experts think so.
