While reports of sightings get the most play in the media, there are other important pieces of evidence that large unidentified creatures reside in Loch Ness. The most difficult to explain away are: the Dinsdale film of 1960; numerous sonar echoes from apparently large, moving underwater targets, obtained over many years by many different investigators; some underwater photos.

What may be the first sighting of the Loch Ness monster was in 565 AD by the missionary [[Saint Columba]], who was visiting [[Scotland]] to spread the [[Gospel]]. He needed to cross the loch, so one of his followers swam out in the water to reach their boat, which had not been tied properly and had floated away from shore. Then a large creature arose from the water and seemed that it was going to devour the man. Saint Columba ordered the rest of his followers to be quiet, and in the name of [[Jesus]] rebuked the monster. The creature drew back "as if pulled by ropes" and the man was left unharmed.
