The Loch Ness Monster (Scottish Gaelic: Uilebheist Loch Nis), [3] also known as Nessie, is a mythical creature in Scottish folklore that is said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is often described as large, long-necked, and with one or more humps protruding from the water.
The monster has appeared in local folklore for centuries, and started receiving wider attention following a sighting in July 1933. [1] It has made appearances in fiction literature since at least the January 1934 short story "The Monster of the Loch" by William J. Makin, and in film since at least the May 1934 film The Secret of the Loch.
