Who would have thought that a monster could cause earthquakes.

The famous photo on the right was debunked when the dentist confessed to it.

If I were a Scottish sea monster I wouldn't surface for anything less than a Belhaven.

I don’t find it unbelievable there were such creatures, because they were seen by an entire town, including captains of ships and the police and fire department and mayor at Cape Ann, Massachusetts.

But the Loch seems not to have the support of food for a creature like this, at least not these days. Perhaps long ago? Or in and out of the Loch to food sources in the ocean?
