I first heard about Nessie back in 2006, or 2007. I was around 7 or 8 years old, at that time. The movie that first introduced me to Nessie was Scooby-Doo And The Loch Ness Monster, which was released in 2004. This movie first ignited my interest in the Loch Ness Monster. I then did some more research, at the library, and I figured out that the legend of the Loch Ness Monster was based on actual sightings. I then learned that there were other lake monsters, as well, such as Champ, in North America’s Lake Champlain. In one of the books that I read, it said that “the study of such creatures is known as Cryptozoology, meaning “the study of hidden animals”".

I then learned about other cryptids, too, such as the Bigfoot and the Yeti, or Abominable Snowman. I then learned of a few lesser-known cryptids, as well, such as the Mothman, the Jersey Devil, the Yowie, and the Ogopogo.

And, so, the origins of my interest in monster hunting were all sparked by that wonderful movie, Scooby-Doo And The Loch Ness Monster. And, ever since then, Nessie has always been my favourite cryptid, since it was the very first cryptid, that I had ever heard, about.
