Loch Ness Monster Finally Identified
Forensic Artist and private investigator William McDonald, finally identifies what Loch Ness Monster may be.
(PRWEB) April 7, 2005 -- After nearly 1,500 years of conjecture, it appears the Loch Ness Monster may finally be identified. According to American Forensic Artist and private investigator William McDonald, the famous lake monster known as “Nessie” is neither a plesiosaur or prehistoric reptile, but a real, predatory species of water animal possessing the ability to hunt on land.
In the winter months of 2004, McDonald photographed tracks left by a large animal on a mud-covered Loch Ness shoreline in an area south of Invermoriston, just off the A-82 highway. Movie footage may be viewed at http://loch-movie.tripod.com. Weeks later, McDonald was contacted by two American university students who had just returned from a Spring Break trip to Britain. The students provided McDonald with video tape footage of the remains of a 200-pound Highland red deer carcass, found in a boat-only accessible area known to local fishermen as a “Kill Zone.” The deer appears to have been torn in half, its pelt ravaged. (there are no bears in the Scottish Highlands). But the most shocking find was a shed animal tooth – found wedged between the deer’s exposed ribcage. The tooth is barbed, well-rooted, and measured nearly four inches in length!
According to the three eyewitnesses on the video, shortly after the find, the tooth and several video tapes were confiscated by a local water bailiff. Highland authorities were uncooperative in the students’ efforts to have their find returned. The salvaged footage and photos of the tooth have been posted at http://www.lochnesstooth.com, along with a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the return of the “Nessie” tooth.
Mr. McDonald is coordinating the students’ efforts to have the tooth returned. He can be reached at Argonaut-Grey Wolf Productions in Mesa, AZ. PHONE: 480-330-7553.

Surely you must have come upon Urquehart Castle? Nobody knows it's purpose or who built it on a glaciar lake. It's the only national monument area in Scotland without a history. Stonehenge near Bath in England is another issue.

"Every spring there is a Nessie sighting or controversy to get people to Inverness. There is NO other reason to go there."
Well actually there is Boleskine housek, on the banks of the Loch Ness. The home of Alistair Crowley, (another Loch Ness monster).

I love when Chef's dad is in the show!
That guy amuses himself all too easily. I can't believe you posted that--or were you the guy in the closet?.
Yep. Looks like a spike buck shed. The spur is pretty clear on that one.
That's another issue. All I can say is when I swam around in that lake, Nessie didn't find my pee-pee.
Looks like with cannon that site could dominate passage through the loch, though I suppose there were no cannon when it was built.
Fascinating about the history of clan plaids. Do you know at all whether they were in general use by Scots before that, or what role plaids may have played in Celtic history?
That does not look like any tooth I have ever seen, but it does look like a small antler.
The Nessie we know and love today may be one of several descendants of the original.
Nope. Came from Hillary Clinton.
I've heard stories (just stories, mind you) of Border Patrol guys taking their night vision goggles, turning them around so the eyepieces show towards the illegals, and making a hissing noise. The result is that the illegals see two glowing green "eyes" and hear something hiss at them...end result is that someone yells "Chupacabra!" and everyone hauls butt south.
The fingers are curving toward the camera.
LOL!
That's a cow-horn antler.
Nope. Ain't me, but thanks for checking!
Ping me !
Mac, would you place Bald Eagle 777 on your Celtic ping list? Thanks.
