Interesting read, but is the 20-year old footage all that it seemed?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO NICK TAYLOR?
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO NICK TAYLOR?
http://beastsofbritain.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/whatever-happened-to-nick-taylor.htmlIn 1997 Edinburgh photo journalist Nick Taylor was featured on an episode of the now defunct U.S. paranormal series, 'Strange Universe', where he claimed to have photographed and filmed not one, but two British Lake Monsters, in Loch Lomond, Scotland and Llyn Aled, Wales. Both pieces of footage were quite remarkable in their professional clarity and for the natural and animal like movements of the creatures captured both photographically and on film.
I remember seeing the episode when it first aired and again years later on youtube, and thinking that it was possibly the most palpable, clear and convincing evidence of plesiosaurid animals in British waters.
Here was evidence that could be studied, and used as a valid research tool for learning about the behavioural habits and the habitation of these animals in our waterlogged isles. However, much to my consternation and dismay, not only were the photographs and film footage never released for academic study, but they also disappeared from youtube and other paranormal websites altogether.
