Nessie As Ghost
Posted by emlong at 17:34, 03 May 2012You cannot imagine how Jungiangly dumbfounded I was this morning to see that TDG link speculating that "monsters" such as Nessie might be ghosts. I had started to write a blog entry along those lines yesterday but then got sidetracked and did not complete it. Once you have digested as many of the better TV ghost hunting shows as I have the idea of these fortean creatures being ghosts makes all the sense in the world. Spirits often shape shift like crazy when they are particularly energetic and mischievous. The demonic ones relish morphing into various monstrosities, and if the ghosts of people and creatures such as dogs, cats, horses, whatever can rise from the dead and visually manifest then the idea of a creature separated only by vastly more distant time seems quite possible especially given that one of the first average human illusions to fall by the wayside when ghost hunting is that time carries any weight at all. The "distant" past means absolutely nothing in terms of the ability to manifest in the here and now. Energy apparently resides dormant in matter indefinitely and can be reawakened at any "time."
It would be interesting though to correlate monster sightings with concurrent changes in the local environment. I am thinking especially of radio towers, radar towers and such having been erected in areas where the sightings are condensing. There is a lot of evidence that high powered EMF's can pry loose "ghosts" from their mooring in matter and make them dance before your eyes especially if the area in question also contains large rock formations either subsurface or above, and water is another big factor. Ghosts take advantage of water energy to manifest. That may be why so many of the fortean creatures are water creatures.

Nessie as a ghost is probably a doubly heretical assumption, given how so many people don't believe in the loch Ness monster in the first place, and Cryptozoologists would never accept the beastie they've been looking for is not a flesh-and-blood animal.
It's an interesting theory, though. Personally I have my reservations. I would like to know if there are reports of having the creature appear and/or disappear before the witnesses' eyes, or having radar echoes that stop all of the sudden.
But that's what I like about Nick's articles: it don't leave the reader indifferent ;)

When Jack Lapseritus' "Psychic Sasquatch" book first came out it was fun to watch some of the cryptozoologists howling in pain and claiming he would make ridiculous the crypto movement in general, as if they were not themselves already anathema in the wider world. People can get so caught up in their self image that they lose perspective. They also like to find opportunities to compare themselves to even wackier people. It makes them look less nutty by comparison. Cryptozoology in general is already so way beyond the pale to most rational materialists that they would call the cryptos deranged right out of the gate and would not even bother making a distinction between cryptos who believed in Nessie and people who think Nessie et al might be ghosts.

I still think Loren Coleman's desire to follow the guideline set by his mentor Ivan T. Sanderson of trying not to explain an unknown with another unknown is valid. But cryptozoologists, Ufologists and parapsychologists should strive to preserve as much of the raw data they find in their investigations as possible.
And if they research intersects with another field, so be it.

Colin Wilson writes aboot this kind of thing and sightings in various books of his...
in his fictional vein, he even creates a 'race' called the Lloigor in his novella, "The Return of the Lloigor".
