Loch Ness monster may live in parallel dimension like 'Stranger Things' creatures, claims paranormal expert

LONDON, ENGLAND: The Loch Ness Monster may exist in a Stranger Things-style parallel dimension, a paranormal investigator has claimed. Many have tried hard to find clues about the creature's existence ever since "Nessie" first captivated the imagination of the public decades ago. According to The Mirror, he suggests that the monster may in fact be spending most of its time in a parallel universe, much like that in the popular Netflix TV series, 'Stranger Things'. 

The modern legend was born in the month of May in 1933, when the Inverness Courier reported that a couple had seen “an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface” of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The unusual story gained a lot of attention among London newspapers and correspondents were sent to Scotland with a reward offer of $21,000 to anyone who succeeded in capturing the creature.

People were optimistic that the creature would soon be found —investigators, tourists and scientists alike, started to search the lake in hopes of finding the monster. Several British universities launched sonar expeditions to the lake in the 1960s. In each expedition the sonar operators detected some type of large, moving underwater objects, although nothing conclusive was ever found. However, it was enough to keep the mystery alive as no expedition debunked the possibility of a creature living in the depths of the lake, surfacing only rarely.

Another expedition combined sonar and underwater photography in Loch Ness in 1975. A photo that was taken after enhancement, appeared to show what vaguely resembled the giant flipper of an aquatic animal. In the 1980s and 1990s, further sonar expeditions resulted in more inconclusive readings. A team from United States-based SeaTrepid Inc performed a full deep water scan of the loch in 2005, in the hopes of finding the mysterious creature. A 2007 report claimed that the giant beast could actually just be a huge frog.

The beautiful beast is 30ft long, 14ft high and 10ft wide and is made from oil drums and paper mache. She has an amplified mating call, can puff smoke through her nostrils, and carries a hidden camera to record the momentous meeting. The project is in aid of the Fire Service Benevolent Fund.

However, no one has been able to prove the existence of the monster, despite the rumours circulating around for almost a century. One paranormal investigator, Scot Ron Halliday, now has come out with one of the most non-realistic theories yet and it involves Netflix's nostalgic hit.  “Scientists have suggested there could be other universes. And somehow our world interacts with these other worlds through portals" he said. "With the Loch Ness monster, people could be seeing a dinosaur that existed in the past. They may see something that looks solid but isn’t actually in our world. That can spread across a whole range of things, such as UFO sightings.” Halliday, 72, then further added, "Some people are more psychic than others. They can pick up these experiences while others may not. It’s possible that some may walk into these portals without realising it, then they can see these things. They are having genuine experiences. In a way, this is speculation. But to my mind, it does provide an explanation to a whole range of paranormal phenomena.”
