尼斯湖水怪的历史

 尼斯湖水怪的历史

Paul King

苏格兰高地的大峡谷是一个60英里长的裂谷,包含三个著名的湖泊;洛奇湖、奥奇湖和尼斯湖。 其中最著名的是尼斯湖,因为据说它的深水中 "潜伏 "着一个怪物。 它比北海还深,非常长,非常非常窄,从来没有人知道它会结冰。

已经有许多人看到了这个被亲切地称为 "Nessie "的怪物。

最早的记载是6世纪爱尔兰圣人圣科伦巴的一次眼对眼的对峙。 圣科伦巴,据说是命令他的一个僧侣游过湖泊去取船。 在游到一半的时候,怪物出现了,冲向游泳者,以最可怕的方式咆哮!科伦巴对怪物喊道:"不要再走了,也不要碰这个人!回去吧!"。据说那个怪物已经逃走了!

从那时起,人们多次看到尼西,但从未伤害过任何人。 几个世纪以来,人们看到尼西的次数是零星的,但在20世纪,尼西更加活跃,这对当地的商业产生了深远的影响!

1933年是第一张关于怪物的照片,或者说是据说是怪物的照片。 它显示了一个在厚实的身体上拱起长长的脖子的东西。 这张照片由伦敦的一位外科医生拍摄,首次在《每日邮报》上发表时引起了轰动。

马戏团老板伯特伦-米尔斯(Bertram Mills)在前往因弗内斯(Inverness)的途中途经该湖,他悬赏2万英镑(相当于今天的200万英镑)给任何能够为他的马戏团捕获怪物的人,但到目前为止还没有人领取赏金。 可以说,米尔斯是一位相当出色的企业家,因为赏金使许多人涌向该湖,无论是目击还是门票销售,都达到了附近的马戏团正在兴起!马戏团的动物在湖岸边被喂养和浇水,以及 "怪物 "的头和脖子与大象的躯干非常相似的事实,也许毫不奇怪,并不为人所知!

1951年,住在湖边的林业工人拉克兰-斯图尔特(Lachlan Stuart)也成功地拍到了怪物,如果那确实是怪物的话。 他看到水中出现了三个排成一排的驼峰,于是跑回屋里拿相机。 拍了一张照片后,他的相机快门卡住了,但他的照片得到了广泛宣传,进一步证明了尼西的存在。

人们对尼斯的兴趣变得非常浓厚,多年来进行了多项科学调查。 1961年,尼斯湖现象调查局成立,甚至有两艘潜艇被带入搜索范围,船上有声纳专家!当双鱼号潜艇在厄克特城堡附近潜水时,那里的水深达950英尺,发现了一个巨大的水下洞穴。 这是否是尼斯的家?

1975年,来自海默尔-亨普斯特德(Hemel Hempstead)的四名消防员决定,这个怪物必须是男性,因为所有的怪物通常都是男性,所以他们建造了一个309英尺长的纸塑 "女怪物 "来吸引 "Nessie先生"。

它戴着假睫毛,化着浓妆,并发出预先录制好的交配叫声。 不幸的是,这个交配叫声原来是一只雄性海象的叫声,所以毫不奇怪,它并没有引诱尼斯!

当女怪兽浮在水面上时,也没有任何帮助。 她的 "背后 "被突如其来的风吹向侧面的防波堤压扁了。 这次尝试被放弃了。

然而,尼斯湖水怪并不像它看起来那样独特--关于类似生物的报告来自西高地的其他湖泊。

尼斯湖水怪为我们提供了一个持久的谜团,在一切都有解释的21世纪,想到仍有像尼斯湖水怪这样的谜团,令人欣慰。

事实上,最近的一次 "目击 "是在2007年5月,当时实验室技术员Gordon Holmes拍摄了一段视频,他说 "这个漆黑的东西,大约45英尺长,在水中移动得相当快"。 这段视频被BBC苏格兰电视台和STV的《北方之夜》节目播出。 然而,这段视频的可信度受到了质疑;除此之外,该视频没有包括任何可以衡量 "事物 "大小的物体或特征。

看来 "Nessie "的存在还有待证明。
