Nessy gets some press!
Nessy gets some press! According to History dot com, it was on May 2, 1933 that the first sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was reported in the newspaper the Iverness Courier. The article shared the account of a local couple who reported seeing “an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface.” The “monster” moniker was added by the editor of the newspaper and soon other papers picked up the story and the legend was born. For decades armature, scientific and educational expeditions have been searching for Nessy. Video and still cameras, sonar sweeps, and sightseeing cruises have all been on the lookout for the monster, to no avail. Even after a 1934 photograph was determined to be a hoax, people still flock to the shores of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands trying to catch a glimpse of the elusive monster.
