OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today


Yesterday’s News Today

On this day in 1959, if memory serves me right, Jonathan Downes was born. Downes is a cryptozoologist of some repute and you may well have heard of him. Also on this day but in 565 Saint Columba claimed to have seen a monster in either Loch Ness or the River Ness, which is widely claimed to have been the first recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.

First sighting of Nessie and Downes on the same day? As Tony Shiels, one-time Wizard of the Western World, would say “There's no such thing as a coincidence...” (or maybe I just got the date of Jon's birthday wrong, which could happen, I guess).
And now the news:
