What have witnesses said about the Loch Ness monster?
Nobody knows yet. There have been many "Sightings" of "Nessie", but not always credible.
Technology has failed to reveal any evidence: On 11 October 1987, "Operation Deepscan", a major sonar exploration of the Loch, was undertaken by a team of 20 cruisers. High-tech sonar equipment bounced sound waves to the bottom of the lake, electronically recording any contacts. Three sonar contacts showed up as crescent shaped marks, but the results of the sonar test did not indicate there was anything unusual on the bottom of Loch Ness. Many say no, the Lockness Monster does not exist because there is no such thing as monsters besides in movies. Others say there is some evidence that it does exist, but it is anecdotal evidence. Nothing is proven about whether it does or does not exist.
