WaterspoutsWaterspouts, or water devils, are tornadoes over water that are usually formed by developing rain clouds. This phenomenon is common in tropical areas where thunderstorms occur frequently, such as around the Florida Keys. Although they happen over water, waterspouts don’t actually suck up water — droplets formed by condensation create the water seen in the funnel cloud.
These water tornadoes sometimes make hissing or bubbling noises, and that combined with their long, neck-like appearance might explain sightings of sea monsters like the Loch Ness monster.

Waterspouts may be the reason people claim to have seen Nessie or sea monsters? That seems a bit of a stretch, LOL
I agree waterspouts (and the rest of the items in this article) are weird, but it seems silly to tie them into Nessie sightings, IMHO.
