First Nessie Sighting
Aug 22, 2022
The first ever recorded sighting of the Loch Ness monster, or “Nessie,” took place on this day in 565 C.E. Irish abbot St. Columba reportedly saved a man from a “water beast” in the River Ness. The cryptid came into the world spotlight in 1933 after an article in The Courier recounted George Spicer’s alleged sighting.
