"To prove this, the researchers hid a fence post beneath the surface of the loch and raised it in front of a coach party of tourists.
Interviewed afterwards, most said they had observed a square object but several drew monster-shaped heads when asked to sketch what they had seen. "
Exactly what shape is a 'monster-shaped head' supposed to be?

Nice one, and, on the TV show they did the 'stick experiment' and not everyone saw the stick. However, they asked everyone to draw what they 'saw'. The ones who didn't see the stick drew a more blooby or rounded shape than everyone else. And the 'scientist' said this was conclusive proff that 'people see what they want to see' or was it conclusive 'proof' that if told to draw an image of something on loch ness that most folk will draw a monster type thing.
They also said the stories stated in 1933 when in fact references to a monstrer in the loch can be found well before this.
ON the show they DID say that such a creative surviced and thrivved in cold water and not hot water as the article suggests.
~Nessie lives, fecks sake, next they will be doing investigations into santa claus.......

I liked the one last year where they spent £1,000,000 on flying helicopters over penguins and watching them fall over backwards. That's got to be PhD students who still smoke a bit too much reefer and are just taking the piss. Great work if you can get it.

It could also be proof that a lot of people are shit at drawing things accurately

Iwatched that programme too but i still think there is somethin in there i met a woman a few years ago who claimed she`d seen it and i really don`t beleive she was lying and why would so many people claim to see somethin that wasn`t there. she was Scots and lived on the bank of the loch we have been there many times when up on holiday and it`s such a beautiful place anyway with or without a monster.

Just a wee bit of info for you but I would say this was marginally before 1933. I think their researchers should actually do their job before making crap statements.
On this day, August 22, 565, St. Columba is said to have encountered the Loch Ness Monster.
Columba, you may recall, was trained by Irish monks. However, his youthful Christianity was skin-deep while his passions were strong. He was partly responsible for the battle of Cul-drebene in which many men lost their lives. Repentant, he sailed to Britain as "a pilgrim for Christ" and founded the monastery of Iona, from which Christianity spread across North Britain. He himself traveled and preached, establishing several churches and monasteries.
Revered as a saint, his life was written by Adamnan. In reporting Columba's life, Adamnan gives what appears to be the first written account of the Loch Ness Monster.
Traveling in Scotland, Columba had to cross the Loch Ness. On its banks, he saw some of the Pict folk burying a man who had been bitten by a water monster while swimming. The body had been pulled from the loch with the aid of a hook by men who had come to his assistance in a boat.
Despite the danger, Columba ordered one of his followers to swim across the loch and bring back a coble (boat) that was moored on the other side. This man's name was Lugne Mocumin. Without hesitation, Lugne stripped for the swim and plunged in.
The monster, robbed of its earlier feast, surfaced and darted at Lugne with a roar, its jaws open. Everyone on the bank was stupefied with terror; everyone, except Columba, that is. A firm believer in the authority of the crucified Christ, he raised his hand, making the sign of the cross. Invoking the name of God, he commanded the beast, saying, "You will go no further, and won't touch the man; go back at once."
At the voice of the saint, the monster fled as if terrified, "more quickly than if it had been pulled back with ropes," says Adamnan.
The heathen were amazed. Everyone who witnessed the sight gave glory to the God of the Christians.
Did the event really take place? A church historian may be permitted a few doubts.
To begin with, Adamnan's account was written over a hundred years after the alleged events.
Furthermore, different versions of the story disagree with one another. One has Columba raising the monster's victim from the dead by laying his staff across his chest.
We also note that this is only one of many extraordinary events in Adamnan's account. According to him, Columba dripped with prophecies and predictions that came true. He made water from wine like Jesus, drew water from a rock like Moses, calmed a storm at sea, provided a miraculous draught of fishes, multiplied a herd of cattle, drove a demon out of a milk pail, and cured the sick. A book owned by Columba could not be destroyed by water. Through his prayers he destroyed a wild boar, stopped serpents from harming the inhabitants of a certain island. Angels and manifestations of divine light attended him throughout his life. Adamnan's account has so many incredible tales that it is unbelievable.
Oh and after he saw it he was asked to draw what he saw by some researcher and low and behold another stick.

True Story :honestly: :iknowitsoundsmadeup:
One of my friends works as a dentist in Inverness. He has a patient who told him that he has seen Nessie. After a few visits he asked him if he had any photos and was told that he indeed did. When he brought along the 'proof' it showed pictures of the patient at Loch Ness with Nessie drawn in biro pen on top of the photo! It also transpires that the patient visited Loch Ness regularly to feed Nessie with bits of bread.
He sounds about as sane as that Adamnan chap.
