About this episode

For over 1,500 years, people have reported a massive creature lurking in the depths of Loch Ness, a 23-mile-long Scottish lake so dark and deep that it swallows light entirely. The legend exploded in 1933, fueled by newspaper editors, a faked photograph, and a public desperate for wonder during the Great Depression. From DNA sweeps and sonar surveys to a toy submarine and a big-game hunter's revenge plot, the evidence has been tested...and the mystery somehow survives.
