The Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness monster exists. How do I know?
Because my grandfather saw it - not just once but twice.
There are newspaper articles about his sightings so they must be real!
He saw it once in 1939 and then again in 1950. He was a local businessman - a pillar of the community and a scientist.
Today at the Science Festival I went to an all day talk, bringing together all the current research and thoughts on Nessie.
What they all seemed to be saying is this. -
An awful lot of people have spent an awful lot of time and money over the last 50 years or so - trying to find Nessie
and
they have not succeeded
and I for one rejoice.
It cannot be proved that Nessie exists
But
It cannot be proved that Nessie does not exist.

Above is the well known photo taken by a Harley Street Surgeon. Later a man came forward saying it was a hoax but many believe that he was just settling a score. The Mail had paid him to run another hoax in which he used an umbrella stand made from the foot of a hippopotamus to make possible Nessie prints. The hoax was discovered when someone noticed that all four were left feet. He was sacked by The Mail. His revenge was to produce a story  claiming that the surgeon's photo was a hoax. Maybe it was!

The newspaper article just above here is the one from 1950 giving my grandfather's description of what he saw. He was by the Loch - at Foyers with two other people. They all saw it.
