What is this episode about

This is the final word on the legend of Loch Ness and the creature that some say lives there. Photographic, cinematic, anecdotal, cultural, and first-hand accounts from people who claim to have seen the monster and who are drawn to the phenomenon and the location all factor into a forensic analysis of the creature’s existence.

We explain how the allure of the area and the presence of “Nessie” have stoked rivalries, spurred hoaxes, and ultimately led to the waste of countless lives in the search for a prehistoric beast that mainstream science claims does not exist.

Expert testimony, archive footage, and breathtaking landscape filming are used to create a series that is the exhaustive history of the Loch Ness phenomenon, examining and unravelling the stories at the heart of the monster mystery, in an epic story that takes viewers from the savagery of the late Triassic period to the modern internet age.
