The Loch Ness Monster is one of the most famous mysteries in the world, but how much of the legend is real and how much is misunderstood?

In this episode of The Wilderness Chronicles, Kyle Green of The Green Way Outdoors travels to Scotland to investigate the Loch Ness Monster firsthand. Standing on the shores of Loch Ness, exploring ancient castles, walking the same roads as the earliest witnesses, and speaking with locals who know the loch better than anyone, we set out to separate fact from folklore. This series is about more than just legends. The Wilderness Chronicles dives into real world mysteries, historical accounts, eyewitness stories, and scientific evidence to explore what may actually be happening in the wild places of our planet.

We examine the earliest recorded sightings dating back to the sixth century, the infamous 1933 report that launched the modern Loch Ness frenzy, famous photographs and films that shaped public belief, underwater searches using submarines, and modern scientific explanations including environmental DNA research.

We also meet people who have dedicated their lives to studying Loch Ness and hear stories from locals who work on the water every day. From castles overlooking the loch to museum archives and real conversations on the shoreline, this investigation is done in person, on location, in Scotland. Whether you believe the Loch Ness Monster is a surviving prehistoric creature, a misidentified animal, or simply one of the greatest legends ever told, this episode takes you deep into the mystery to decide for yourself.
