The Loch Ness Monster


For ages, people have been hearing about the Loch Ness monster and how it baffled everyone thinking that it is a creature unlike any other. There have been many sightings over the years and photos and videos of actual footage have been checked and looked at time and time again, confirming if it could be some kind of sea serpent or a descendant of the dinosaurs. Even up today, as some are claiming, it still exists and swims under the waters.

Jack the Ripper must have been a sexually depraved maggot who may have raped the prostitutes who turned him down and killed and mutilated them so that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson won't have anything to deduce from

10 The Lost City Of Atlantis



The City of Atlantis has been imagined asthe crowning city of Neptune, where mermaids and mermen live. But based on what Plato has discussed during his time, specifically with his two dialogues Timaeus and Critias, it specifically mentioned the existence of Atlantis based on the storiesbeing heard during the journeys, and howAtlantis was in its prime state, thus giving a clue that the place did exist as Plato was a real entity. Now that it sunk into the deep, many are still wondering if it is real, knowing that there are certainobjects underwater that may be the remnants of this once beautiful city.
