Now, did anything vaguely Fortean happen on this day in history? It certainly did! If I was to ask you what the most well-known cryptid in the world is I’d be willing to put good money on most of you saying the Loch Ness Monster. According to most of the books written on Nessie, the first person to see the beastie was St Columba, who was born on this day in the year 521AD. However, leaving aside points such as he saw his creature in the River Ness, not in the loch itself and that according to some interpretations the ‘monster’ was nothing more than a truculent local shaman; he wasn’t actually the first to see it as the account of his encounter with the monster starts with a group of Picts burying one of the monster's previous victims.
