Monster Hoax/Loch Ness

 Did anyone else happen to see a show on A&E titled "Monster Hoax/Loch Ness"
earlier this week? I stumbled across it by accident.

The premise is that a group of special effects wizards and underwater divers
got together to make a animatronic Nessie. They took it to the Loch to fool
people into thinking that it was the real thing.

I just checked the A&E website which says that it is going to be on again
this Sunday night. AETV.com is the place to check.

I'll have to check it out, thanks. 😊

Sea monsters are one of the things I actually hope exist. The big lake (there are hundreds of smaller ones) near where I grew up has its own.

I missed it, but I'll write it down so I can see it Sunday. Thanks for the heads up.

Winona...

Would that be Champ?

Or Ogopogo?

Seen both lakes, never seen either 'creature'.

Didn't Alex take a picture at Loch Ness and then see something after developing that he hadn't noticed before??? Maybe he caught their trial runs...

I once took a picture at lochness
And saw something when the picture was developed that I hadn't seen at the time.

Namely, I'd left the lens cap on :(

Rod, neither. The Nicolac, at Nicola Lake. Not as big as the other lakes, but about a mile deep. A friend of mine's uncle disappeared in it years ago and we always joked that the Nicolac got him. Even I got a little nervous once we swam past the drop off. (about 15 or so yards from shore)
