"Loch" and Load: The History of the Loch Ness Monster

from History Loves Company · host Chester Sakamoto

We've all seen it: a black-and-white, grainy photo of a long-necked creature surfacing the waters of Loch Ness. This is perhaps the most iconic image of the so-named Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, ever captured on film. But while the creature has been better documented in recent centuries thanks to photographic and video evidence, sightings of it date back even further to several centuries in the past. Get your swim trunks and floaties, dear listeners, because we're diving into the depths of Loch Ness for a look at the history behind sightings of the world's most famous cryptid!
