What is Loch Ness silent about, or is there a Loch Ness monster?

Lake Loch Ness is one of the largest and mysterious reservoirs of Europe! It hid in the Scottish highlands, it is surrounded on all sides by mountains and cliffs. The length of Loch Ness is about 40 km, and the width is no more than 1 km. The depth of the lake - more than 300 m - makes it the third largest in Europe in terms of fresh water among lakes. Tradition says that in his icy depths, opaque and dark, like a night, dwells ... a Loch Ness monster! About him and talk. As it is not called: the water kelpie, the sea horse, the lake bull, the gloomy spirit. Whatever it was, and parents from century to century forbid their children to be or play next to this pond. Some superstitious people still believe that the Loch Ness monster (photo 1, 2, 3) may well turn into a galloping horse, grab the child and sit him on his back, then plunge into the abyss with a small and helpless rider!

Who saw the Loch Ness monster?

But something happened under the water, and he burst out of the lake with a bullet! His face was twisted with fear. When he was brought to his senses, McDonald trembled his lips, but uttered arrogantly that he had seen the Loch Ness monster. He especially remembered his eye - small, spiteful, gray ... Since then, more than 3 thousand various eyewitness accounts have been accumulated, which under certain circumstances allegedly observed the Loch Ness monster from the shore and from the boat. According to them, it appeared in the afternoon. Today, scientists are confident that the size and appearance of this uncaught creature depends on the imagination of one or another person.
