Over at his Loch Ness Mystery blog, Glasgow Boy makes some good points about sightings of the Loch Ness Monster and the nature of how and when (or even if) witnesses actually report what they saw.
As GB notes: “…I am convinced the vast majority of sightings do not make it to the public media. Indeed, one researcher I correspond with suggests from his own contacts that dozens of sightings are plain ignored and discarded each year.”
And why might this be? GB has a few ideas:
“…The Dinsdales and Whytes are gone and have been replaced by a more sceptical set of investigators. This modern genre do not accept the idea of an exotic species in Loch Ness and so what is their motivation to collect claimed sightings of a monster let alone make them publicly available?”
This is a thought-provoking post that you can find in full right here.
