He’s left.

Gone.

Pinin’ for the fjords he was.

Naw. Nessie and Bigfoot are vacationing with Elvis and JFK somewhere in the Bahamas.

Maybe it’s because it doesn’t exist. Today everyone has a high quality camera on their phones so it’s pretty hard to get a pic or vid of a shadow or something and make it convincing that it’s a prehistoric animal.

It’s dead, Jim.

Gary Campbell, who lives in Inverness in the United Kingdom has been keeping records of Loch Ness monster sightings for the past 17 years and has put together a list of sightings that goes back some 1,500 years, according to the BBC News. "It's very upsetting news and we don't know where she's gone," BBC News quoted Campbell as saying.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.

I bet they find a note one day: “So long and thanks for all the fish.”

[Uncle Chip]

Well if a report of a sighting is all that’s needed to bring her back then I’m sure someone will oblige.

Hmmm...didn’t some HUMONGOUS snake thing wash ashore in Japan a month or so ago? Maybe Nessie? Seems reasonable, the Loch must open to the sea somewhere.

Sightings of sea creatures like Nessie are common throughout history. Here is a Nessie sighting closer to home:

When people have a fear of the unknown they get carried away with their imaginations.(bigfoot ,sea serpents,space aliens, etc.)-Tom

The most plausible explanation for Nessie as real is that it is a mutant eel that never matured and kept growing. Although rare, such eels can become quite large. Specimens might appear sporadically, reside in Loch Ness for a time, and then die off or migrate to the sea. This would account for the intermittent nature of Nessie sightings and for similar reports from other fresh water bodies of water.

[right way right]

I'm sure that more money for research will find a solution to this predicament.

I’ve passed by/visited Loch Ness twice since 2006. I didn’t see any trace of the critter. But several times my view was obstructed by this very large (8 ft.), smelly, human looking creature....what was the name they called it?...BigToe, BigMitts, Big something. I wish BigA.. or whatever it’s called would have gotten out my view so I could have seen the lake better.

Is the Loch Ness Monster Dead?
___________

No. Sir Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland’s local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.

Global warming, no doubt.
