The first recorded sighting of a monster in the vicinity of Loch Ness was in the seventh century and reported a story which supposedly took place around 100 years earlier. The story states that an Irish monk who was staying in the area came across some people burying a man by the Loch. When he asked what had happened to the man, he was informed that he had been swimming when he was attacked and dragged underwater by a water beast. The monk sent one of his followers to swim across the lake, and the water beast came after him. The monk quickly made the sign of the cross and commanded the water beast to leave the man alone, and the beast fled in terror. The local pagans then converted to Christianity.

Modern sightings of the creature are reported from 1933. George Spicer and his wife saw a large creature pass across the road in front of their car. A report in the Inverness Courier newspaper was the first to name the creature the "Loch Ness Monster".
