Description:
Sightings of large serpentine creatures emanate from many lakes throughout the world. Perhaps the most famous lake monster is that said to inhabit Loch Ness in Inverness, Scotland. This creature is affectionately called "Nessie." The earliest written reference to a monstrous creature in Loch Ness dates to the sixth century when Saint Columba supposedly prevented the monster from devouring a man swimming in the loch. Such creatures abound in Celtic folklore. Called "water horses" or "water kelpies" they are considered powerful and malevolent. There are also a dozen or so later references to a creature in Loch Ness before the twentieth century.
