* Loch Ness Monster becoming World known
* Nessie mystery widens in Inverness, Scotland
Certainly one of the more notable monster or creature searches in recent times is the Loch Ness Monster. Debate continues as to its existence. The top of page 10 has two column heading: "Scotch Student says He Met Sea Monster While Motorcycling on Loch Ness Shores" (see images)
Complete with all 32 pages, a little spine wear, otherwise in very nice condition.
background: In January 1934, Arthur Grant, a veterinary student, reported one of the earliest modern sightings of the Loch Ness Monster while riding his motorcycle near Abriachan on the northeastern shore of Loch Ness. He claimed to have almost collided with a large, mysterious creature crossing the road in the moonlight around 1 a.m., describing it as having a small head on a long neck, a bulky body, and flipper-like limbs, giving it a vaguely prehistoric appearance. Startled by his approach, the creature reportedly ran across the road and plunged into the loch, leaving only ripples on the water’s surface. Grant later sketched the animal, and although some contemporary experts suggested it resembled an otter or seal, his account is significant for being a land sighting, providing a detailed description early in the surge of Nessie reports that helped ignite worldwide interest in the Loch Ness Monster later that year.
