Overview

• A 1938 letter by Chief Constable William Fraser stated police believed in the existence of a Loch Ness creature 'beyond doubt.'
• The report detailed plans by two Londoners to hunt the creature with a harpoon gun and a team of twenty men.
• Fraser intervened, warning one of the hunters about the importance of leaving the creature undisturbed, though he doubted police authority could protect it.
• The letter was rediscovered in 2025 by Kenny Welsh of The Loch Ness Centre, bringing renewed attention to the legend.
• Experts and local organizations emphasize the significance of the document as a rare instance of folklore crossing into official record, advocating for respectful, non-invasive research.
