We believed in them as children, and some still believe. But, there is simply no reason to fear these monsters. Monster sightings are staged and nothing more than a maneuver. The iconic 1934 Loch Ness monster photo taken by Robert Wilson was proved to be a hoax. The so called sea serpent was nothing more than a toy submarine with a plastic head on top. With other monsters, the cases were similar. There was a yeti sighting in 2016 at a ski…

heard gossip from friends, wherever you heard it first, Scotland is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and it's not hard to see why. Most people conjure up an instant image of Scotland in their minds. For me, it's a mixture of the Loch Ness Monster, tartan and bagpipes. What comes into your mind when you think about Scotland? There is a lot more Scottish iconic imagery, such as shortbread, mountains, cashmere, whisky, castles and golf. There's also quite a big royal…

Water is life For us Earthlings, at least, there is nothing more fundamental than water: more than two-thirds of the surface of our planet is submerged beneath it; and almost the same proportion of the body mass of every adult is composed of water. Most of us could survive without food for weeks on end, but would die after only three days or so without water. Indeed, if we go for very long at all without water, that part of the forebrain known as the hypothalamus triggers the thirst response,…

As a Georgia native you can imagine my shock when I found out Georgia has it’s very own loch ness monster! The monster’s name is Altamaha-ha, it was given to him by the Creek Indians that lived near the Altamaha-ha river. The monster has been spotted in Darien and Butler Island, Georgia. The Altamaha River is a beautiful place. It’s known for it’s vast marshes and 18th/19th century rice fields and canals. Scottish people from Inverness (the home of Nessie), were recruited in 1735 to come live…

visit them three summers ago. Before we got to England, our plane took us to Scotland, which is the country just north of England. There we saw amazing sites like Edinburgh Castle and old churches. We also went on a cruise on a famous lake called Loch Lomond. There we saw more castles and saw some famous historic places that were important to Scotland. England is probably the most historic place I’ve ever been to. One of the places that we went to was Stonehenge. Stonehenge is an ancient…

even impressions have breathed life into mythic animals in stories, melodies, and show stoppers. Today these animals, from the capable mythical snake to the taking off phoenix, keep on a thrilling, discourage, engage, and rouse us. For example, the Loch Ness Monster or Sasquatch, keep on being "located" and looked right up 'til today. While the starting points of these impressive animals are changing, and often debated, they have assumed important parts in human culture, and have served to…

The Fall of an Empire The conundrums encountered by this small planet of ours are numerous; the Bermuda triangle, the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot and many more; but none of them trumps the disappearance of a nation overnight completely engulfed the ocean, which later through the course of history came to be known as the Atlantic Ocean. Addressing the elephant in the room, Atlantis was supposed to be a work of fiction by Athenian philosopher Plato, depicted as one of the most contentious…

Hoax; a humorous or malicious deception. What is a hoax? Most people believe them to be harmless acts of idiocy such as the belief in Bigfoot, or the Loch Ness Monster. Though these are obvious examples, many critics believe the Holocaust was a hoax, but certain documents and medical autopsies prove that the genocide of over 6 million Jews was real. It is a proven fact that at one time, well over 40,000 concentration camps were in use for the execution and/or malnourishment of well over a…
