Following Spicer's sighting, countless others have claimed to have seen a Plesiosaur. Even so, it was not until Robert Wilson captured a photo of Nessie (left) that there was any proof behind the stories. This photo depicts a Plesiosaur-like creature with a long neck and small head creating waves in the water. Due to the creature’s resemblance to that of the Plesiosaur, many believers cite this photo as evidence for the Plesiosaur's existence. However, skeptics use the photo to further prove that Loch Ness Monster is nothing but a joke. In 1994, more than 50 years after the photo was taken, researchers discovered that the photo was a hoax and the "Monster" was made out of a toy submarine and putty. The waves seemed to be manufactured by amplifying small ripples in the loch.
