There is more water in Loch Ness than all the other lakes in England, Scotland, and Wales put together. Loch Ness is around twentytwo and a half miles long, about one and a half miles wide, and has a depth of around 750 feet. Since December of 1933 there have been alleged sightings of a 40 to 50 foot long monster in the loch (lake). Most of the Nessie witnesses describe something with two humps, a tail, and a snakelike head. Nessie's movements have been studied, and the films and photos analyzed to determine what Nessie might be- if she exists. Copyright Wise Guys 2016
