Monsters at Loch Ness

   

In the 7th century, the first guesses about a sea monster in Loch ness; a monk called Adomán wroted this quotes on a codex named  Life of St. Columba.  He said that Columba saw how a "sea monster" catched a man and gragged him to the bottom of the lake. All that he could do was to take the corpse out of water.    Hearing this, Columba stunned the Picts by sending his follower Luigne moccu Min to swim across the river. The beast came after him, but Columba made the sign of the cross and commanded: "Go no further. Do not touch the man. Go back at once." The beast immediately halted as if it had been "pulled back with ropes" and fled in terror, and both Columba's men and the pagan Picts praised God for the miracleThe oldest manuscript relating to this story was put online in 2012.       Believers in the Loch Ness Monster often point to this story, which notably takes place on the River Ness rather than the loch itself, as evidence for the creature's existence as early as the 6th century.        Modern interest in the monster was sparked by a sighting on 22 July 1933, when George Spicer and his wife saw 'a most extraordinary form of animal' cross the road in front of their car.
This latest version is the most suspectful of all; even so, a lot of tourists came every year to the Loch Ness to get informed about this special monster who even is attractive to much more people than suspected.
