The elusive Loch Ness Monster may have come out of hiding, after a 20ft-long object was spotted in the water - and the sighting has left monster-hunters excited
The long-running tale of the Loch Ness Monster is back in the news following a sighting of an unusual 20-foot-long object in the depths of the loch. Captured by a 24/7 webcam positioned near the southwestern shore, the images depict a blurry dark figure, partially submerged and seemingly moving towards Cherry Island.
Michael Alberty, a dedicated Nessie follower, commented on the official Loch Ness exploration Facebook page that the intriguing images certainly merit consideration as a credible sighting, expressing his eagerness with: "Can't wait to see how this turns out." Local Elly Russell proposed a more mundane explanation, attributing the sighting to debris washed into the loch by recent storms, commenting: "The recent storms have brought hundreds of big chunks of wood to the Loch.
Alan explained, "We deployed the hydrophone which was lowered down to 30 metres below the surface close to where Robert Rines' strobe camera was placed in 1972."
