I've always believed in Loch Ness, Big Foot and stuff like that. The second video was awesome with the fin and how fast it moved.

i was thinking its some sort of really big eel. Are there any eels in Loch Ness?

Joe the Glukkon 02-13-2004 09:52 AM

I also believe in Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, UFOs,etc.
About the movies,I can't view them.I watch it on Quicktime, and nothing happened.I watched it on Windows Media,"The Connection Failed".I can't watch them.My PC is screwed up.

Thanks for the photos ferill.
I looked at other Loch Ness Monster photos, (I own a book thats about Loch Ness Monster) and they seem similiar to the pictures on the link ferill gave me.So,I think they actually saw Nessie.And again, thanks for the photos ferill.

Those video doesnt actually show loch ness... anyways i reckon its fake.

oddguy 02-13-2004 10:58 AM

Wow, Xav! I guess it is fake.

-oddguy :fuzemb:

Fez 02-13-2004 11:00 AM

so, the first one is a fake, but what about the more convincing second one?

The first one looks real.So does the second one.

oddguy 02-13-2004 02:35 PM

Now that I look at the second video again, it seems very fake. Not the footage, but listen to the reactions of the people. They sound like they're acting.

Anyway, have you guys ever heard of the Lake Champlain monster in America?


http://www.parascope.com/en/cryptozoo/aquarium02.jpg The notorious sea beast of Lake Champlain, a 109-mile-long lake on the border of New York and Vermont, is considered America's Loch Ness Monster. Popular legend has it that the French explorer Samuel de Champlain saw the creature in 1609, in the first ever sighting of a North American lake monster. But this apocryphal tale has been traced back to a mistaken account made by a reporter in 1960. It seems that Champlain did, in fact, spot a strange aquatic monster, but the location was off the coast of the St. Lawrence estuary, and not the lake that bears the explorer's name.

Probably the earliest known report of a monster in Lake Champlain came from pioneer settlers near Port Henry, NY, in 1819. A railroad crew near Dresden, NY, in 1873 claimed to see "a head of an enormous serpent sticking out of the water and approaching them from the opposite shore." Following that sighting, area farmers reported missing livestock along with supposed drag marks stretching across the ground to the shore of the lake. That same year, P. T. Barnum offered a $50,000 reward for any monster hunter who could bring him the "hide of the great Champlain serpent to add to my mammoth World's Fair Show."

Barnum had no takers, but the sightings continued. In 1883, Clinton County Sheriff Nathan Mooney said he saw "an enormous snake or water serpent... 25 to 30 feet in length," which raised its long, curved neck about five feet out of the water. A group of fishermen in 1899 claimed to witness the creature partially climbing onto the shore, exposing about six feet of its finned body. In 1945 a man claimed to have caught a 14-inch "baby sea serpent" at the lake, but it is thought to have been a salamander.

The most famous sighting of Champ in recent times was made in July 1977 by Sandra Mansi, who was vacationing in Vermont near the Canadian border. When she and her husband saw what appeared to be the head and long neck of a huge creature, she managed to grab a camera and take one picture before it vanished. Expert analysis of the Mansi photograph (shown on this page) has concluded that the image was not faked or retouched, and it has been widely speculated that the animal shown is a plesiosaur, the same prehistoric species often proposed as Nessie's true identity. Along more realistic lines, some suggest that the apparent head and neck might actually be the fin of a small whale rolling on its side. The credibility of the photo has also been hindered by Mansi's inability to indicate the area from which she took the picture.

Former teacher Joseph W. Zarzynski is the founder of the Lake Champlain Phenomenon Investigation, and the leading authority on Champ for the past twenty years. Zarzynski, who says there has been a total of over 300 Champ sightings, has reported promising results from sonar and electronic surveillance of the lake, but nothing conclusive yet. He is so certain of the creature's reality that he has convinced local and state governments to grant Champ some select measures as a legally protected species.

If there really are sea monsters living anywhere in the United States, Lake Champlain is about as ideal a habitat as anyone could ask for. It is vast in size, surpassed only by the Great Lakes, with depths of up to 400 feet. Champlain contains the populations of fish and aquatic life that would be necessary to sustain a colony of giant beasts, and with its outlet to the Atlantic, it could be home to a much wider diversity of unknown life than a small, isolated lake... such as Loch Ness.



Champ Sighting

I've seen better video on tv, but this is the only one I could find on the web.

-oddguy :fuzcool:

Joe the Glukkon 02-13-2004 03:45 PM

I've heard of that thing.It was in one of my paranormal books.And that picture you posted, I think that's a hoax.I bet it's a duck itching it's side or something.I've seen ducks do that before.

SeaRex 02-13-2004 06:38 PM

Blech... that is so obviously fabricated. I mean, c'mon. You can see movement in the water where something is being pulled (second video). Really, people. A giant fish wouldn't have a path of choppy water in front of it extending way out into the lake.

Look at it again. It looks like a garbage bag being pulled through the water.

"Is that a shark?!" lol.

Fez 02-13-2004 09:10 PM

damn, you just had to ruin my fun eh?

I've heard of "Champ", as i'm quite a cryptozoologist myself. Many creatures with resemblance to loch ness have been spotted all over the world. Mostly in lakes though, which is strange.

that champ video looks kinda fake, i mean it was probably two logs what hit eachother.

oddguy 02-14-2004 06:54 AM

I wish I could show you guys a better video of champ, but that crappy one was the only one I could find on the net. :fuzemb: I've seen way better videos of it on TV. Hmmmm, maybe I'll look some more and find a better video.

*runs off to Google*

paramiteabe 02-14-2004 06:54 AM

No picture can compare to the most famous photogragh of the Loch Ness Monster taken on April 19th 1934 by RK Wilson. It was claimed as a hoax in 1994, though some stand by its authenticity. Heres the famous picture make your assumption. Is it fake or is it real?

http://www.bibleandscience.com/scien...s/lockness.jpg

And here is another intresting one where the man is pointing right at it.

http://www.keithv.com/thumb/lock_ness_monster_small.jpg

I for one don't believe this picture is a hoax it looks very athentic. I think this is an actual photogragh of this mysterious creature.

I also believe in BigFoot because he belongs to a supposed family of primates known as Sasquatch. A type of Ape that lives in North America. That really doesnt seem far fetch. I believe there are a bunch of them but they are very shy creatures. Thats why you don't see them.

Esus 02-14-2004 07:23 AM

Those videos look so incredibly fake.... imo.

The water ripples are too big in that water PA on the first photo, which makes either the LN too small or the water ripples too big.

That second one could have been easily photoshoped by anybody, theres no reaction to light or anything that suggests it wet, but it's too far away which is why it could have been photoshoped with ease.
It also has a slight blue, as if its moving incredibly fast... funny how the finger is perfectly pointing at it...

Joe the Glukkon 02-14-2004 07:44 AM

Nice pictures paramiteabe.I'm not sure about that first one,it looks a little like a hoax to me.The second one (The man pointing at it) looks real.There are no seals,walrus,in Loch Ness.And that can't be a duck.A duck would be much smaller than that.

Oh yeah, and here are a couple of Bigfoot images.

http://theshadowlands.net/bf4.gif

The photograph shown here was taken from a still frame of a 16mm film camera. On October20, 1967, two men on horseback, Roger Patterson, who shot the film and Bob Gimlin, a friend, took to the northern Californian woods of Bluff Creek in the hopes of photographing one of these elusive creatures. They were not disappointed. In the late afternoon, Patterson and Gimlin encountered the creature. Patterson’s horse reared and knocked him to the ground. He quickly jumped up and ran toward the creature. It responded by simply walking away. Gimlin kept his friend covered with a rifle in case it attacked. It walked into the trees and vanished. The two men decided against following the creature thinking there maybe a confrontation with either it -or more of its kind that could be in the area. After it was filmed, many scientists dissected the footage. Some claim the film was indeed that of an unknown animal. Others claim it was merely a man in an obvious monkey suit.
Over the years, rumors abounded that Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin hoaxed the whole incident. It even went further by saying that a special effects man named John Chambers, who designed the makeup in the Planet of the Apes movies, designed the suit. He has denied any involvement. Movie special effects people claim the film is just a man in a suit. Some scientists still cling to their belief that the film is authentic. Sadly, Roger Patterson died in 1972 of cancer. Did he go to his grave laughing? Or did he firmly believe at the time of his death that he had seen Bigfoot? In March of 1992, Bob Gimlin admitted that he might have been fooled. He gave thought to the possibility that Roger concocted the whole thing and Bob was an unknowing eyewitness to one of the most elaborate hoaxes in the world.

This photo is one of several taken July 11, 1995 by an off-duty forest patrol officer in the Wild Creek area near Mt. Rainier. It is one of 7 other photos purchased from the officer by Bigfoot investigator Cliff Crook. The ranger was following up a lead on bear poachers in the area when he heard loud splashing sounds below him. He peeked over the ridge to investigate with camera in hand. Some of the photos are shaded and others are of excellent clarity.
"No matter how convincing supposed Bigfoot photos or films may be, until the ultimate living proof is in, alleged Bigfoot photos and films must remain alleged. Only the true test of time will tell." - Cliff Crook


http://theshadowlands.net/whitebf.jpg

This is a picture of a white Bigfoot like creature sighted often in Fort Worth, Texas in 1969.

http://theshadowlands.net/SKUNKAPE.jpg

This photo was taken in 1997 by a fire fighter captain on the edge of the Florida Everglades. This bigfoot relative is known as the Skunkape in the Florida area. The Skunkape has been sighted numerous times and there have also been footprints found and cast. It gets it's nickname from the power stench that often accompanies it. Reported sightings of this creature go back 30 years.

This picture looks sooo fake. Nothing against you PA, but it looks Photoshoped. And, as Esus pointed out, the man is pointing directly at it as if it from his perspective, but the cameraman is behind him....hmmm.

Jacob 02-14-2004 11:29 AM

I think the Jersey Devil myth is interesting aswell. I've read some articles about it and i believe its a fake that just won't go away, especially when one of the articles mentioned how they found its corpse, and then there was more sightings. And when one said that it appeared four times in different states and so it MUST be able to fly really fast...

Yeh, fakeness.

Majic 02-14-2004 11:41 AM

A Bigfoot siting in Fort Worth? Alright, kiddies, I'm going in after it. Anyone care to join?

Esus 02-14-2004 11:46 AM

oh, oh. Ill join!
Kinda far away, but for Big Foot.... hell yes! :p

oh yeah i forgot about the New Jersey Devil. i, for one, believe in it. i got a pic but dont know if the IMG code thingy will work. http://images.google.com/images?hl=e.../jerseybut.gif

Esus 02-14-2004 09:35 PM

How ironic that nearly every single one of these "creatures" lives in North America, yet are not accounted for by the natives... (except nessy)

Jacob 02-15-2004 01:52 AM

Woobles!!

I think the one about the Kasai Rex is the most interesting...

paramiteabe 02-15-2004 07:28 AM

Well I just got that picture at random. The reason being is because if you notice the monster in the first one is black and almost looks like a shadow.

The one in the below picture where the man is pointing looks closely related to the one above by the fact it is black and looks like a shadow. The only difference is that the one on bottom has a shorter neck. Its probabally fake I agree.

But the 1934 picture you have to remember was taken in a time when photoghaphy was not really great technologcally speaking. It was in its infant stages. The picture was taken high up in the hills above the lake plus it was taken in black and white. Which means every shadow would look bold and black. Nobody can really explane the famous picture which leads me to say it could be real. But I guess we will never know.

Maybe the 1934 photogragh was taken with a 1934 styal low res camera which could too explane it bluryness. Who knows. But if there is any kind of monster in our world that scientifically truely exist. It would have to be The Giant Squid. Sperm Whales eat Giant Squid and one washed up on a shore years ago. A baby whiched measured more than 30ft in size. God knows how big a grown up is.

Esus 02-15-2004 08:15 AM

As I said, in the 1934 photo, the water ripples are too big for it to be nessie. It's just a toy or a piece of card or something placed in a bit of water.

Sekto Springs 02-15-2004 02:35 PM

Yes, and notice how the tide-waves are much bigger than the actual creature when in actual life tide-waves are very small.
