The mystery of the Loch Ness Monster is one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of mankind.
The modern record of the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster dates back to 1933, while the ancient legend of the Loch Ness Monster dates back to 565 years ago.
Here are some of the sightings of the Loch Ness Monster:
The earliest mention of the Loch Ness Monster appears in Adomnán's Life of St. Coulomb in the seventh century columba）。According to Aardman's account a century after the event, the Irish friar St. Coulomb and his companions were in the area of the Picts. He met local residents who were burying a man on the banks of the River Ness. Residents explained that the man was being dragged into the water by a "water beast" while swimming in the river and was injured, and by the time they rushed to get him to the boat, he was dead. St. Coulomb sent Luigne Moccu Min to swim across the river, and when suddenly the monster approached, St. Coulomb made a cross and shouted to the monster: "Don't go forward, don't hurt anyone." Get out of the way as soon as possible. The monster suddenly stopped as if pulled backwards by a rope and fell back into the water, and the congregants and Picts of St. Coulomb thought it a miracle and thanked St. Coulomb.
In November 1933, Navy Lieutenant Rupert Gould began a series of sightings investigations. He interviewed all those who had seen the Loch Ness Monster firsthand, and found that the organism was not easy to correctly determine, as most of its bodies had never been above the surface of the water, so there were very few correct descriptions. In 1934, he published a book called "The Loch Ness Monster", which collected 42 sightings that took place between May 1923 and mid-May 1933. Later, in her 1957 book, More Than Legends, published by Constance Whyte, recorded more than 60 sightings.
