![]() On September 24th, 2007, YouTuber Madkiller9 uploaded a video titled "Loch Ness Monster Caugh on Tape," featuring footage of something moving in the water behind a boat (shown below). In 1996, the family drama film Loch Ness was released, in which a scientist investigates the existence of the cryptid (shown below, right). In 1981, the horror film The Loch Ness Horror was released (shown below, left). However, a marine biologist from Southampton suggested the object may have been a strand of algae. In April 2012, a new sonar study found a large object at least 5 feet wide 75 feet below the loch's surface. Multiple sonar studies of Loch Ness have been carried out since the 1960s, with a 1969 study resulting in an echo twice as intense as one expected from a 10-foot pilot whale. ![]() Dinsdale's film was digitally enhanced during the Discovery Channel special Loch Ness Discovered, where experts claim to have found a shadow trailing behind the above-water hump. Nearly 30 years later, in 1960, aeronautical engineer Tim Dinsdale was the second person who caught a reddish creature on film (shown below) after several days of filming in the area. This three-minute recording was not publicly shown except for a still frame published in Maurice Burton's 1961 book The Elusive Monster. In 1938, the first alleged film of the creature was taken by South African tourist G.E. Though The Sunday Telegraph revealed the image to be a hoax in 1975, people have continued to debate its authenticity. ![]() The image came to be known as "The Surgeon's Photograph" and was published in The Daily Mail on April 21st, 1934. In 1934, the most famous photograph of the creature was taken by Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London-based doctor. That year, the dozens of others reported seeing a monster in the area that year, including Hugh Gray who took the first photo of the animal that November (shown below). ![]() Though reports of a monster in Loch Ness date back to the 6th century in a biography of the Irish monk Saint Columba, the creature did not gain worldwide attention until 1933 when George Spicer and his wife reported seeing a 40 to 50 foot long animal crossing the road near Loch Ness.
