On This Day - May 2nd 1933

The Loch Ness Monster is formally introduced to the world. 

Loch Ness, or Loch Nis in Gaelic, is a large, deep freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands, which extends for about 37 km southwest of Inverness. It is the second largest loch (lake) in Scotland, with a surface area of 56.4 km2, but is the largest in volume. It is 226 m deep at its deepest point.

For centuries, witnesses have reported sighting a large monster with a long neck in Loch Ness, Scotland. However, the Loch Ness Monster really only came to prominence in the modern world when a newspaper report about it was published on 2 May 1933. On this date, Scottish newspaper, the "Inverness Courier", ran an article called "A Strange Spectacle on Loch Ness" that described how a Mr and Mrs John Mackay had encountered an enormous whale-like creature in the loch near Aldourie Castle, "rolling and plunging on the surface". London papers picked up the story, sending reporters to Scotland, and the legend was born.
