Does a monster lurk in the depths of Loch Ness ? Image Credit: CC BY-SA 3.0 Ben Buxton
Eoin O'Faodhagain has reported multiple sightings of the enigmatic Scottish loch monster over the last few years.
The veteran Nessie hunter had recently been watching through a webcam mounted at Shoreland Lodges near Fort Augustus at the southern end of Loch Ness when he spotted what appeared to be a creature of some kind moving through the water.
"Looking across the calm conditions of Loch Ness via webcam I suddenly captured a strange disturbance about three quarters of a mile away," he said.
"Something rose up out of the loch, that initially looked like a large fish jumping, but then it moved like a torpedo, causing a significant wake. My heart jumped. I said to myself, 'this is nothing ordinary - on the contrary this is something you don't see every day'."
The footage he captured shows that there were no boats nearby at the time.
O'Faodhagain also believes that he has ruled out several other conventional explanations.
"The speed of the object has no comparison to a bird taking off," he said.
"You wouldn't see the movement of their feet at five yards, never mind three quarters of a mile away on a webcam."
"Seals and otters do not behave like this, and the object moves too straight and direct to be considered an eel - even a giant one."

Did you know?...... In 2009, a team of scientists searched Scotland’s Loch Ness for evidence of Nessie. They did not find the monster, but they did recover more than 100,000 golf balls. ?
The fellow seemed to think if it was anything at all it would have to be large to create such a 'ripple'. I was simply pointing out that it wouldn't take much to create something visible from a long distance due to the water being completely flat.
