She's very real. I've seen her with my own two eyes.

It's not real. Please don't fall for it. If you want to mess with the spammer though, may I recommend a site I frequent.....

Thats a good question. I wonder whether all those "supernatural" things are real eg. Ghosts, Big Foot, etc. I do beleive in ghosts but I ponder over some of those mysterious happenings. I wonder whether the Loch Ness Monster is real, or I wonder who mkes crop circles-Humans, or an Alien Life form? I wonder whether there is another form of life on another planet. There are so many unsolved, amazing questions on this earth I cannot imagine anyone having nothing to think about. Even this question made me wonder alot.........

From what I've heard, it's just a fake.

It's rumored that it may have been an elephant!  Circus's traveled that area a lot in those days and stoped at the Loch to let the animals rest and swim!   If you really look at it, it does VERY closely resemble an elephants trunk, head, ears and back...

It is in a museum in Austria.  I don't know if it is the real thing, but Hitler thought it was.  He had it in his possession during WWII.  True story.

The only evidence we have is:\n\nFootprints, which are probably the result of hoaxters, pranksters, and so on.\n\nA few videos, probably faked.\n\nSome hairs, but the ones that get tested usually are bear or other animals.\n\nEyewitnesses- horribly unreliable and easily confused by many things.\n\nSo- several people CLAIM to have seen them, but...

Absolutely real! The couple of boobs who made accusations saying it was fake are complete idiots! Neither of the two who started this rumor had any technical background to support their claims! Find some old movie clips and see for yourself. The actions of the astronauts could not possibly be mimicked here on Earth! So now we have a paradox, in order to fake the moon landing you would have to go to the nearest object  to us in space which would be......you guessed it! The moon! Give Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin cudos for being the brave men they were and leave it rest! I remember watching it in awe live in my classroom at the ripe old age of 16! The onboard computers they used were no where near as powerful as your basic dell 300 dollar desktop.....they didnt have any more than 32 kilobits of ram and were totally programmed in binary. These men came dangerously close to not making it on their lunar landing.\nP.S. Nikis answer below explains why romania is still a third world, uneducated country. Her statement "why not the flag freeze?" is simply because there was no moisture present.

It looks like it is real..\n\n..but with the stuff they eat I'm surprized they don't get poisoned or something.\n\nIf it's not real then it's one helluva cover up.

what monster? No real evidence. I have lived near Lake Champlain many years. No one has ever had a good picture of \n"Champ".  perhaps some funny shaped stumps floating or otters, or other animals swimming on the surface. I am a skeptic even though I have friends who say they have seen it. although they are not really sure what they saw.

Actually, one of the earliest reports of something in Loch Ness came in the 7th century and was a description of an attack and how a priest ordered the monster to leave the man alone and it did.  However, this story is probably not the best one to believe in.  The priest, Columba, also told stories of how he could kill wild boars with his voice alone.  Sounds like he spent way too much time alone as a child.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Ness_Monster\n\n\nNow something interesting happened in 1952.  A speedboat racer was trying for a new speed record on the loch when his boat seemed to hit something and disintegrate.  No evidence of what he hit, but his boat torn to shreds because of how fast he hit it.  He was killed in the accident.  While this is not an attack per say, if there was a monster involved, it could be brought up as something interesting.\n\nhttp://www.lochnessproject.org/loch_ness_reflections_news_links/cobb_crusader_found.htm\n\nNow the important question, is there a Loch Ness Monster?  More than likely not.  No evidence to prove its existance.  Stories and very sketchy photographs.  With all of the people watching the loch and searching it and setting up electronic recording equipment, something would have been found by now if something was there.  If you base the belief of Nessie solely on the stories, then you have to believe in werewolves too because people told stories of those for centuries.  The only way to prove the existence is to capture one dead or alive, or have a very detailed and length video of one that biologists can examine and make conculsions from.

How many of these "alien" creatures do we find in reputable scientific research - NONE!  Nothing in any museum, no evidence, no bones, blood, fur or feathers, no stuffed animals, genuine photographs, or anything anywhere that science can touch. The Bigfoot is simply a continuation of the Native American legend, they also provided no evidence. Loch Ness monster - no evidence, Yeti -  no evidence, Chupacabra , sorry superstitious Puerto Ricans, but no proof ! We have out there a ZOO full of alien animals - that no person can prove !

Yes, the moon landings were real. Some people still maintain that the Earth is flat - no one takes them seriously; no one should take the 'moon landing is a hoax' seriously either.\n\nFirst, we have material evidence: rocks from the moon, photographs taken from there, the word of thousands and thousands of people who worked on the project, etc. Even more damning, the astronauts left a prism mirror on the moon that anyone with a medium laser can target to see the laser reflected! And do you really think the Russians wouldn't have raised a stink if any of their, oh, dozen thousands physicists had found something dodgy? Or do you think they all failed to know about something like 'heat and air on the moon'?\n\nThen we have so much stuff in space now, like thousands of satellites, probes on Mars, and even outside the solar system, what is so unlikely about landing on the moon, which is incredibly close to us, astronomically speaking? It's only 3 days away!\n\nAll the arguments from conspiracy theorists have been easily rebuked; the three sites at the end give a good rundown. The most commons were:\n\n- There is a flag waving! there is no air on the moon! Hoax!\nHum. The flag is not moving, notice? It *looks* like it's in the middle of a wave, because it was built like that! The NASA, incredibly enough, figured out that there was no wind on the moon, and that a limp flag would be a tad disappointing, so simply attached the flag to perpendicular poles in that position. Try it in your garden, it will take 5 minutes.\n\n- The photos are too good! That's not possible!\nNo, they took hundreds of pictures, and you only see the good ones, just like any amateur photographer will tell you. \n\n- The footprint doesn't look at all like the one you leave in sand!\nThat's because the moon is not covered in sand... Sand is created by erosive forces grinding up rock, like the sea or plate tectonics. The moon has no erosive force, since it's dry and not volcanic. The dust there is rocks vaporised by meteoric impacts, which looks a lot like flour. Put a heap of flour on the ground and watch your footprint: very similar, no?\n\nSo, no, the government is not involved in *this* coverup :-)
