  • The Loch Ness Monster is one of our most enduring myths. People have sought to uncover ol’ Nessie’s secrets for 1,500 years. But only one man has devoted his life to learning the truth … and living alone in a van by the loch to do so. Meet Steve Feltham, Nessie’s full-time watchman since 1991.

    The opportunity to be able to follow your dreams no matter what it is, must be the greatest feeling in the world.

      That's what I thought, fair play to the guy for following his dreams, however he claims the only possible sighting he has had, was within his first year water splashing of somethings back, and 25 - 30 years later nothing more to add, I think that says something, he's spent his life chasing a phantom that dose'nt exist. I'm an open minded person I believe in bigfoot, I believe in UFO' S and aliens, and although CGI can do wonders in this day and age, I refuse to accept it's all fake CGI, as many would have you believe. The lochness monster
      however i cannot accept to be real, their is just no evidence of it, and the most famous sighting/picture was proven fake (before CGI) many years ago, it does however make an exciting story

    I really do hope that one day,in his dying breaths,He will ask anyone he holds dear to put his bed near the lakeshore. Minutes pass,and an amazing thing no one will ever dare to imagine happen. A dozen of swaying long necks dancing along the sunset. The biggest and probably the oldest one slowly swims toward the man, with friendly eyes of an old friend. In his final moments of his life,he pats that creature's nose,answered by a set of jaws enfolding around him.Now he shall lives on in the great Loch,together with his lifelong friends.

    I can empathize. I drive through a large forested park on occasion looking for Bigfoot. It's an area that has a sightings history, but I don't really expect to see one and am not sold on whether the creature exists. The fun is the search in a peaceful setting that has many other animals you can spy and _just maybe_....
    Rock on, Nessie Man!

    There was a movie about a boy who befriends Nessie when he was little. It's starring Alex Etel. Maybe it's inspired by this guy. edit: movie title: Water Horse: Legend of The Deep

    I admire his selfless diligence, yet he'll be waiting when he's bones. Maybe someone will make a monster and put it in the loch. Then he can FINALLY be at peace. Because there is nothing remotely paranormal in THAT body of water. Unfortunately.

  • @schizoidboy
    @schizoidboy 6 років тому +1

    The fact that he seems to admit that it could be something as simple as a catfish should hint that perhaps he has a better grip on reality than most people do. I wish that it was something more substantial like a leftover dinosaur but most likely it is something more mundane and unexciting. So what if he's living in a van down by the river, that has to be a nice place to be, most homes would be lucky to have such a view.

    The chances of anybody finding concrete evidence of an aquatic organism by watching the surface of a gigantic body of water nearly two miles long and at points nearly a thousand foot deep,with visibility below 6 feet in depth of nil are virtually nil,but at least he's not looking for a plesiosaur or other incredibly unlikely explanation.As he says they're more likely to be members of the fish or marine mollusc family,or possibly even marine worms such as bristle worms.

    He seems to enjoy his lifestyle and that is more than most people do. I imagine it is peaceful watching the sunrises and sunsets over the lake.
    Mr. Feltham will never get to actually see Nessie, because the guy who faked the famous 'Nessie' photo came forward a few years ago and told how and he did it.
    I would feel sad for him but he seems to be enjoying his life as is.

    I think one mans 25 year search for "nessie" with only one obscure sighting pretty much tells us there is no "nessie" and never was, but it's a tourist attraction so many people in and around the loch will benefit from the myth and the reason to keep it alive is purely commercial. Do your own research, sightings at best are very sketchy and a lot are fakes, I have never seen, nor has any scientist it seems seen any irrefutable evidence of nessie whether in video, stills or sonar, and lets face it look at the technology nowadays, really a prehistoric monster can hide in the loch in these advanced technological times, complete nonsense. I hope he's not claiming unemployment benefit that you and I are paying for so he can "nessie" watch. Maybe if he had spent 25 years of his life researching some cure for the worlds major diseases I might have had some respect for him but "nessie" watching for 25 years really what a waste of a life but then again he didn't have to work hard like me for 40 years of my life. I should have applied for "nessie watching" at the job centre when I left school.
