The Loch Ness Monster and Others

In 1934, when the legend of the Loch Ness monster was at its peak, renowned author Rupert T. Gould set out to separate fact from fiction in this fascinating phenomenon. His groundbreaking book, The Loch Ness Monster and Others, is a comprehensive and meticulously researched account of the sightings that captured the imagination of the world.

Gould spent two weeks touring the shores of Loch Ness on a motorcycle, interviewing witnesses and gathering first-hand evidence of over 50 reported sightings. The result is a remarkable collection of testimonies, sketches, and photographs that reveal a surprisingly consistent pattern in the descriptions of the monster. Gould examines the various theories proposed to explain the sightings, including floating logs, boats, birds, fish, and more. He then presents his own theory: that the Loch Ness monster is, in fact, a sea-serpent similar to those described in ancient accounts.
