Loch Ness Monster sighting as shape that 'could only be Nessie' seen in water

A fresh potential sighting of the Loch Ness Monster has emerged as a Nessie fanatic has posted footage showing what appears to be a "long anaconda type neck".

On Tuesday, Loch Ness Monster devotee Eoin O Faodhagain was monitoring the Visit Inverness Loch Ness webcam when he noticed something peculiar. At 2.39pm, the creature hunter initially spotted a "fast wake" half a mile behind the Spirit of Loch Nesstourist vessel.

Just over one minute afterwards, Mr O Faodhagain witnessed "a long thick neck" emerge from the water that he described as "thick as a man's thigh" and "over three to four feet out of the water". The form moved parallel to the webcamat Shoreland Lodges, before turning right out of the webcam's screen coverage.

Speaking to the Daily Record Mr O Faodhagain remarked: "When last viewed, it is high out of the water, as a high as a man, but you can see from the footage, it is neither man nor wildfowl, or seal or otter, what else could it be? Only Nessie, because I am at a loss trying to explain it as anything else.

"There is no bird that has a neck that thick and long, you can even see the shadow of it on the water, of how high and big in thickness it is. Seals do not swim with their necks up continuously for over a minute out of the water, and neither do otters."

The Loch Ness Monster enthusiast claims that a recent sighting is "very similar" to one he had earlier this year. In April, he also spotted a neck-like object on the webcam.

Moreover, Mr O Faodhagain shared snaps of another recent sighting from September. At that time, he noticed "two humps" together on the VILN Shoreland Lodges Webcam.

He revealed that these images were taken at 3.12pm on September 18. The weather was blustery and overcast that day, which Mr O Faodhagain described as being the "opposite" to his sighting on October 14.

Initially, he saw one hump rise from the surface of Loch Ness. Following this, he witnessed the second appear "in total symmetry to the first one", before both objects disappeared.

Mr O Faodhagain said: "One hump appeared first then the second one in total symmetry to the first one, on the right hand side of the web screen, and both humps moved to the left and disappeared. They were both a few feet up out of the choppy water, and had to be that to see them at all, a good distance out from the webcam.

"There was no other boat activity observed at the time of this sighting." As reported by the Daily Record, an upcoming Amazon documentary will follow an American woman who is "obsessed" with finding the Loch Ness Monster.

Set to be released this December, Expedition Scotland: The Search at Loch Ness and Loch Morar will feature Katy Elizabeth, 40, on her quest for Scotland's most famous mythical creature. You can catch a glimpse of the Loch Ness Monster from your own home, thanks to a webcam on the Visit Inverness Loch Ness website.
