Mythical Creatures: Loch Ness Monster In The Mist

Emerging from the mist-shrouded waters of Scotland's legendary Loch Ness, the elusive creature glides silently beneath the watchful ruins of Urquhart Castle. Blurring the line between folklore and possibility, Nessie has inspired generations to wonder what mysteries still lie hidden beneath the surface. The Loch Ness Monster is often described as large, long-necked, with one or more humps protruding from the water. Some witnesses say it has a relatively small head but a long mouth with serrated teeth. Popular interest in the creature has varied since it was brought to worldwide attention in the early 20th century thanks to the widespread popularization of film photography. However, sightings of the beast go back as far as the sixth century AD. Evidence of the Loch Ness Monster is almost entirely anecdotal, with several disputed photographs and sonar readings mixed in. Much like Bigfoot, the Yeti, and the Chupacabra, the subculture of cryptozoology has placed particular emphasis on this legendary creature of the Scottish Highlands. Award-winning painter and collaborating artist Arden von Haeger has created a mysterious and captivating 'secret sighting' of Nessie. This classic monster design is available as a poster print, canvas, metal sign, mini-canvas, or as a notecard or postcard.
