EP 91 - PART 2: THE LOCH NESS MONSTER IS OUT THERE!

Written By Dylan Cantu

Welcome back to our regularly scheduled podcast. This time we are concluding our Part 1 episode on The Loch Ness Monster. So far we know there is proof in the form of a footprint and also a hired monster hunter on the search for Nessie. In Part 2 of this podcast we bring up the famous photo of Nessie, talk about how advanced technology is used to evaluate our evidence and lastly how much I hope Nessie is real. Take some time to relax and enjoy this week's episode.
