An article by Nick Redfern on
mania.com discusses the theory that the Loch Ness Monster (and Bigfoot) may be "phantimals". That is, "the spirits or ghosts of creatures that became extinct thousands of years ago." This theory is promoted by paranormal expert Joshua P. Warren, author of
Pet Ghosts, who argues that "the world’s most famous lake-monster, Nessie, might actually represent some form of 'ghostly plesiosaur,' rather than a literal, living animal or colony of animals."
Nice theory. But what I found more interesting was the next part of the article, in which Redfern discusses the research of Jim Marrs, author of
PSI Spies, who learned that during some of the U.S. government's experiments with
remote viewing (the
Stargate Project perhaps?) remote viewers were asked to focus on Nessie and detail what they saw:
Several sessions targeting the famous Loch Ness monster revealed physical traces of the beast – a wake in the water, movement of a large body underwater. Their drawings even resembled a prehistoric plesiosaur, often identified as matching descriptions of Nessie. But when the viewers tried to discover where the object came from or returned to, they hit a dead end. The creature seemed to simply appear and disappear. Considering that reports of human ghosts date back throughout man’s history, the Psi Spies seriously considered the possibility that the Loch Ness monster is nothing less than a dinosaur’s ghost.
And here I went all the way to Loch Ness to see Nessie. I could have just stayed in San Diego and remote viewed her.

I'm reminded somewhat of my Grand Theory of Conspiracy Theories, wherein Conspiracy Theories tend to become increasingly complex over time, adding more elements in order to explain the more basic principles of the theory and give it 'authenticity'. This is clearly a similar process - they want so very much for Nessie to exist, so they are willing to step outside conventional reality for their validation.
But then you wouldn't have met us!
And :lol: at Nettie...
I'm scarred (as we all are) by that moment when Nessie attacked our boat. But the rest of the trip is one of my treasured memories.
"Oh mighty Nessie, do you hear us?"
"GLUB!"
"Errrr. . .was that a yes, or was that a no?"
"GLUB GLUB GURGLE!"
