Nessie - 8 Facts About Loch Ness' Most Elusive Resident

With technology moving on, the photos taking of the Monster were soon accompanied by pieces of film. Much in the same way as the photographs were of varying quality and plausibility, these segments of footage, many of which are still easily viewable online to this day, are interesting to watch regardless of your position on the issue.

There was a short segment of film taken in 1938 which appears to be the first recorded filming of something purported to be the monster in the Loch. However, the footage was held by a single person who refused to share it and himself believed it just to be some floating debris.

A film in 1960 known as the "Dinsdale Film" was the only other film of note before the modern era, and opinions on it are divided. Even into the present day when it isn't just professional photographers or Nessie Hunters who have the capability to shoot high quality film, there have been more pieces of footage released than ever before but there is yet to be one that has been universally accepted as proof of something living in the Loch.

Many of these newer segments of film have been shot by people who have no interest either way in whether there is a Monster, but just so happened to see something they felt was worth recording. To people who are sceptical, each of them has been dismissed in turn. Gusts of wind causing ripples, otters playing and the wake of boats that are out of shot are all used regularly to explain the phenomena.

To those that see them as proof however, they are humps, necks and wakes from something unknown swimming around its fabled home.
