People know of my interest in cryptozoological things and this was sent to me. It was found in an old library book that had been sold on. It is dated 2/12/92 and looks like it is from The Inverness Courier or other Scottish northern newspaper. It is strange because most people say Nessie has a small head but this sighting says 'A huge round head rose time and again out of the loch-each time revealing a thick dark mass below' and 'It had a big black round head which was visible all the time and every 10 metres or so it would rise itself about 4 feet out of the water.Under the head there was a thick dark neck'
So, if it wasn't Nessie what was it?
"Huge Head" and "Small Head" are relative terms. The usual reconstructions of what the Loch Ness Monster is supposed to look like has a very small head in proportion to the body, BUT that "Small head in proportion to the body" includes several reports where the head is estimated as a yard long or so. By regular human standards, that is a large head.
ReplyDeleteHowever I would not care to try and identify the creature in this case, the description is too vague. I am not sure what the witness meant by the way he put some other things such as it "Coming up to 4 feet" at intervals. It sounds like a regular "String-of-buoys" but exaggerated, and that is not the only interpretation possible.
