Guys,
I've always been very fascinated and interested with all this sea creatures & mystery stuff. What about Loch Ness as reported by some ppl? Does the loch ness really exist? Our local Tasik chini has been rumours that there are castle down there and what about bermuda triangle? Many has commented about this area having strong magnetic field and many cases have happened there before.
Anyone to share with me on such interesting mystery? Thanks :)
Regards,
Mike
I have the same fascination. You can get the information you want off the web. Will share what I know though.
In general I think a lot of folklore/tales are blown out of proportion. Dwelving into the unknown is both thrilling and can become an addiction. It's applicable in daily life. Unless you're Nostradamus' relative, you have no idea what the future has in store for you and this mystery is what we thrive on. Life would be a whole lot more boring if it were an open book.
Many businesses now thrive on these mysteries. Tales such as of the beast that lives in the deep recesses of Lake Loch Ness have turned it into a tourist attraction. Novelty shops now make a living off curious travellers which could be another reason for giving the creature so much attention, international recognition even. Is this just a ploy to boost tourism?
In any case, you probably already know of how many documented sightings there are of Nessie. Scientists are until today studying the lake of any evidence of this. They believe that Nessie is actually a prehistoric animal that survived the ice age (or whatever other environmental hazard was believed to have made them extinct) by living in the deep waters of Loch Ness. Not too far fetched if you take into consideration the fact that an actual prehistoric fish called the Coelacanth that was thought to be extinct for millions of years, was found in South America during the mid 1900's if i'm not wrong. Sonar equipment and other listening devices have so far only been able to detect large schools of fish though. Loch Ness is really vast and deep. Man sized subs can't withstand the pressures of such a deep dive so much of it is still left unexplored... as is much of the ocean.
Have no idea about Tasik Chini but the Bermuda Triangle has many explanations depending on who you ask. The more religious believe that it is a plane (not the kind that fly's) between 2 worlds and when you enter the triangle, you emerge on the other side. The strongest explanation though is as you say, strong magnetic forces that sends your navigational systems all wonky. Notice how there are seldom any reported cases of late? Could this be that technological advancements mean these magnetic forces no longer threaten vessels or aircfart entering the area?
Other mysteries you can look into are crop circles, the philadelphia experiment, big foot, stonehedge... just off the top of my mind.
