What I find fascinating about all this is that altho the monster sitings mostly focus on Nessie. There ARE other lake monsters.
In the U.S we have:
Bessie (Lake Erie), Champ (Lake Champlaine), and Chessie (Chessapeake Bay), plus several others.
The UK..oh Nessie aint the only one! They've got:
Lizzie (Loch Lochy and Loch Quoich)
Muc-sheilch (Loch Maree)
Morag (Loch Maree)
Seileag (Loch Shiel)
Searrach Uisge (Loch Lewis/Suainaval)
Sweden has the most Lake Monsters oddly enough.
There's like some 250 Lake Monsters all over the world!! 250!!
Here's some links that might fascinate ya'll:

Champ is a bit more known than Ogopogo (whom I've seen footage of as well). I've also seen footage of the Japanese lake monster, Issie.
