Default Loch Ness Monster

Just wondering what people thought about it? Do you think it is real or fake?

Wiki:

The term "monster" was reportedly coined on 2 May 1933 by Alex Campbell, the water bailiff for Loch Ness and a part-time journalist, in a report in the Inverness Courier.[2][3]. On 4 August 1933, the Courier published as a full news item the claim of a London man, George Spicer, that a few weeks earlier while motoring around the Loch, he and his wife had seen "the nearest approach to a dragon or pre-historic animal that I have ever seen in my life," trundling across the road toward the Loch carrying "an animal" in its mouth.[4] Other letters began appearing in the Courier, often anonymously, with claims of land or water sightings, either on the writer's part or on the parts of family, acquaintances or stories they remembered being told.[5] These stories soon reached the national (and later the international) press, which talked of a "monster fish," "sea serpent," or "dragon,"[6] eventually settling on "Loch Ness Monster."[7] On 6 December 1933 the first purported photograph of the monster, taken by Hugh Gray, was published,[8] and shortly after the creature received official notice when the Secretary of State for Scotland ordered the police to prevent any attacks on it.[9] In 1934, interest was further sparked by what is known as The Surgeon's Photograph. In the same year R. T. Gould published a book,[10] the first of many which describe the author's personal investigation and collected record of additional reports pre-dating the summer of 1933. Other authors made claims that sightings of the monster went as far back as the 6th century (see below).
