The Loch Ness Monster

The story of the Loch Ness monster begins in 1933 when it was seen for the first time. In the North of Scotland there is a lake, which contains one of the biggest mysteries of the 20th century. Since then it has been seen at least once every year and has been photographed many times. The first photograph was taken by a local man in November 1933. On one occasion, large brown eyes were seen and horns have been reported several times. The monster, however, has not been forgotten and will probably never be forgotten. It is known that it sometimes leaves the Loch. But the monster and its activities remain a mystery. For somewhere in the deep waters of Loch Ness a monster is hiding.
