Season 07 Episode 03: Under Black Water (Pt.1 of 2)

The Loch Ness monster’s origins may be rooted in the occult rather than biology, specifically linked to Aleister Crowley’s 1899 ritual at Boleskine House. Crowley’s attempt to summon the Kings and Dukes of Hell allegedly left behind a lingering malevolent presence that manifested as the creature. While historical accounts of water beasts date back to the 6th century, the 1930s saw a surge in sightings that transformed the legend into a global phenomenon. Paranormal researchers, including Reverend Donald Ormond, argue that the monster is not a prehistoric survivor but a supernatural entity conjured by dark forces. This perspective challenges traditional cryptozoological explanations, suggesting that the loch’s dark waters serve as a gateway for manifestations of chaos that defy conventional scientific classification and continue to haunt the region long after the original rituals concluded.
