Early in March 2005 two American students decided to visit Loch Ness
and have a look for themselves if the monster was real or not and boy
did they get more than they bargained for! Hiring themselves a local
fishing boat, the students ventured out onto the quiet waters and after
only a few hours came across a huge mass floating on the water, getting
closer they could see that it was the mangled remains of a deer.
"The animal had been ripped to pieces, its hind quarters were gone,
totally severed!" one of the students claimed. It was while
investigating the dead deer that they saw a bony protrusion. Using a
screwdriver they cracked open the animal's rib cage and discovered the
protrusion was in fact a tooth! This tooth was about four inches long
and very sharp.
In their excitement, the students called over a
local boat to show what they had found but the person turned out to a
local enforcement officer of some kind (some reports have called him a
local Water Bailiff others have said that he was from Fish and Game).
The animal remains and the tooth were confiscated from the American
students, but luckily for them they had already taken photographs of
the tooth and the deer remains.
On returning to America the
students began to take measures in trying to retrieve the tooth. They
eventually got in contact with Bill McDonald, a private investigator
and Loch Ness expert.
It was through Mr McDonald that the New York Times best selling author
Steve Alten became involved. Mr Alten, who by sheer coincidence was
writing a novel at the time called The Loch, was so impressed by the
findings of the students and of Mr McDonald that he re-wrote part of
his novel to incorporate their findings!
After many months
without the return of the tooth the students, with backing from
financers convinced of their cause, have put up the sum of $100,000 for
anyone who can return to them the tooth that they claim is rightfully
theirs.
After seeing the pictures of the tooth and the carcass,
together with having read Steve Altens novel that although is fiction a
lot of experts have come forward and said that the book is more
accurate than many books of non fiction about Loch Ness. I have to say
that I am convinced that the tooth is genuine and that whether the
students get back the tooth or not it surely can only be a matter of
time before the real monster in Loch Ness is exposed for all the world
to see!
