Hugh Gray, out on a walk around Loch Ness after church, captured the first alleged picture of the mysterious creature that had been reported in Scotland for centuries.
The register lists 1,148 sightings of an unidentified creature in the lake and on land. The first account dates to the year 565; most reported sightings, however, have taken place in the past 200 years.
Campbell’s website notes that many potential sightings can be debunked easily. What appears to be a Nessie-like creature may actually be a boat, a boat wake, a log or other floating debris, Campbell said. Seals, otters, large eels, sturgeon and catfish also have been mistaken for Nessie. One report turned out to be a Google Maps diver.
In 1934, Gray’s photo was eclipsed in the public’s mind by the picture known as the “surgeon’s photograph.”, the photo shows a long-necked creature with a small head rising from the lake. It has become the iconic image of Nessie in people’s imaginations — despite the fact that the photo was revealed decades later to be a hoax, Watson said.
