A new theory to explain the mystery of the Loch Monster has surfaced - and it reads like something out of Stranger Things. An expert has suggested the famous beast might be spending most of its time in a parallel universe, similar to the one featured in the hit Netflix show.
The legend of something big living in the Scottish loch started in 1933 when the Inverness Courier reported a couple had seen “an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface” of the stretch of water in the Scottish Highlands, reports the Mirror. The ‘monster’ story attracted a media circus with the London media descending and a £20,000 reward offered to anyone who succeeded in capturing the creature.
Interest in the beast’s existence exploded and, between scientists, investigators and tourists, there has been a near-constant vigil on the lake ever since. In the 1960s, several British universities launched sonar expeditions to the lake but nothing conclusive was found.
