Ever seen a loch/lake monster?

Question

I was canoeing on Loch Morar in the Highlands. My canoe was lifted up by a swell in the water, which made me feel very uneasy as there have been reports of large creatures in that body of water. I didn't see anything, but it felt like something had passed under the canoe. I'd be intrigued to hear of anyone's stories on this subject.

The highland lochs have been known for stage occurances. i too have been in a position but my raft was tipped over. It was not a whale or a fish of any kind. It looked to me more like a dolphin with a long neck. It was weird. i got a picture of it many days later and i have been told it's Nessie. But then again, she isn't real, is she?....
Blessed Be.

If you're telling the truth this is a good answer. Otherwise may the bogles bewilder yer barnacles and cause a coowrie and a timourous manner for a split second!!!

Answer 2

Yes. We've lived on Lake Travis for a couple of years. So far this year there have been 14 deaths in the lake, by drowning. We lived in a cove next to the place where the emergency vehicles (EMS, Firetrucks, Police, LCRA Officials,helicopters, etc) had to go when another boater or swimmer disappeared. These things were going by with their lights and sirens a couple of times a week! Then, invariably, it would be on the news the next day: "Person disappears while swimming and never resurfaces." Not always a boating accident, one 16 year old boy just fell off a private dock and was lost, 3 weeks ago! The creepiest ones go under right in front of their friends. Divers have to search 85 feet blindly (by feel). There are a few unaccounted for, but they usually find them a week later. Could be cold currents drawing them down?
We have been swimming (before we knew better) and we saw a BIG "thing" cut through the water near us, it looked like a guy in a wetsuit, only big. My husband guesses it was a giant garfish. There are some of those & also giant catfish in there. It made us think twice about the safety of this lake. I don't think other lakes are like this.

And this is definitely real. Look up Austin news reports about drownings at Lake Travis.

Answer 5

Never seen one.... why don't you think of a more radical approach to your experience......
Also, to me the lochless monster is a myth....

Answer 6

No- I hope I never do either (they're scarey looking!!)- but there are many scientific shows trying to prove they are real.

Answer 7
