The Loch Ness Monster, sometimes called "Nessie" or "Ness" (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag) is a mysterious and unidentified animal or group of creatures said to inhabit Loch Ness, a large deep freshwater loch near the city of Inverness in northern Scotland. Could the Loch Ness Monster be a dinasaur who survived the general extinction, an alien creature or a non-physical entity or thought form?
Occultist Aleister Crowley once leased a house on the loch (the mysterious Boleskine House). Some believe that rituals he performed there increased mysterious phenomena in the area including sightings of the monster. This may indicate that the beast is more likely to be a non-physical entity or thought form rather than a biological creature. Check out this interesting mini video on the subject:
The earliest known report occurred in the Life of St. Columba by Adamnan, written around the 7th century. It describes how in 565 AD Columba saved the life of a Pict, who was being supposedly attacked by the monster. Adamnan describes the event as follows:
"...(He) raised his holy hand, while all the rest, brethren as well as strangers, were stupefied with terror, and, invoking the name of God, formed the saving sign of the cross in the air, and commanded the ferocious monster, saying, "Thou shalt go no further, nor touch the man; go back with all speed." Then at the voice of the saint, the monster was terrified, and fled more quickly than if it had been pulled back with ropes, though it had just got so near to Lugne, as he swam, that there was not more than the length of a spear-staff between the man and the beast. Then the brethren seeing that the monster had gone back, and that their comrade Lugne returned to them in the boat safe and sound, were struck with admiration, and gave glory to God in the blessed man. And even the barbarous heathens, who were present, were forced by the greatness of this miracle, which they had seen, to magnify the God of the Christians".
The above support also indicates that the monster represents a non-physical phenomena because prayers and commands for holy people are effective against demonic type astral entities.
