Loch Ness Uncovered: Media, Misinformation, and the Greatest Monster Hoax of All Time
Rebecca Siegel
This nonfiction account traces how reports of the Loch Ness Monster spread after Alice Mackay said she had seen a creature in the Scottish lake in 1933. It examines the newspaper coverage, the connection between the claim and local tourism, and later sightings. The book also investigates Marmaduke Wetherell’s filmed “proof,” showing how he staged evidence, and examines other claims to explain how misinformation can take hold.
