The Loch Ness Monster
The most famous photo of the monster was a confirmed hoax — a toy submarine with a sculpted head — but sightings never stopped.
Reports of a large creature in Scotland's Loch Ness date back centuries, but the modern legend exploded after a 1933 sighting and the famous 1934 "Surgeon's Photograph." That photo was confirmed a hoax in 1994, yet sightings and search expeditions have continued ever since.
