Could Scotlands Loch Ness Monster mystery be nothing more than the aftershock of an active fault beneath Great Britain's deepest freshwater lake? Thats what one Italian geologist is speculating.
Considering the so-called sightings of the Loch Ness Monster are often accompanied by bubbling water and tremors, Italian geologist Luigi Piccardi argues that the Great Glen fault system is responsible for the long-necked, legendary beast.
The theory that Loch Ness Monster sightings result from aftershocks was first proposed by Piccardi in 2001, according to Scientific American.

I guess no one saw the movie that posited the idea that Nessie was also Jack the Ripper.
To: Daffynition
That definitely looks like an “aftershock!”

Who would have thought that a monster could cause earthquakes.

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

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?
