What could this be ? Image Credit: YouTube / Eoin O Faodhagain Eoin O'Faodhagain is certainly no stranger to recording and uploading footage of Loch Ness Monster sightings, having ended up in the local papers on multiple occasions thanks to his vigilant watch over the surface of Scotland's most enigmatic loch.

His latest footage, which was captured on the evening of September 17th at Lochend, shows what appears to be an animal of some sort producing a sizable wake as it moves through the water.

"Unknown 8 foot long animal with hump rising out of the water 3 feet back from the front of the wake, and as it turns to the left, its reddish brown hump can be clearly seen out of the water at 1 minute 25 seconds on the screen recording," O'Faodhagain wrote.

The footage is quite clear, making it easy to pick out the wake being produced by the creature.

Interestingly, some people can be seen on the shoreline nearby, but O'Faodhagain reckons that it would have been very difficult for them to have seen anything from that position.

"You can really see nothing at that level across the surface of the Loch, you think you would see everything but you don't," he wrote."When you're looking across a flat surface you wouldn't see a wake out in the Loch, you have to be in an elevated position."

As things stand, the identity of the creature producing the wake remains a complete mystery.

Update:

Shortly after posting this story, the video itself was taken down as O'Faodhagain believes that he has solved the mystery.

In an email to Unexplained-Mysteries.com, he explained:

"Yesterday evening while watching the live stream on the VILN Lochend Webcam, Loch Ness,in clearer surface conditions, I saw the same object going the same direction with the same wake, as I reported to the main stream media last week."

"The object is clearly a swimmer dragging an pale orange float behind him.For this reason, I have taken down the sighting recording from my you tube channel. It was not my intention to mislead the public, as it was a genuine misidentification."
