A Loch Ness monster hunter has caught the legendary marine creature on camera for the first time this year after spotting two objects “moving parallel to each other.”
Irishman Eoin O'Faodhagain regularly records sightings via the Loch Ness webcam but had been worried as no one had seen Nessie for a while, reports The Daily Record.
But the 57-year-old has ended a three month Nessie spotting drought after seeing something unexplained on the webcam livestream on March 23. His sighting of the creature has now been marked up on the official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.

The veteran Nessie spotter from Co Donegal, whose first sighting of Scotland’s most elusive creature came in 1987, shared the video capture of the virtual sightings, which show strange dark shapes moving about on the surface of Loch Ness.
He explained that it appears to be two objects "moving parallel to each other across the middle of the screen".
When one person commented that the shapes might be a log or debris, Eoin responded: "The more northerly object takes a sharp turn to the left leaving an unusual wake, you would have to rule out a log or debris, and it is not consistent of a seal to react in such a manner."
Gary Campbell, the Inverness-based register keeper who has recorded more than 1,136 alleged sightings of Nessie over the past 26 years, recently said that the start of the year and the end of winter is usually a quiet time for the monster.
He added that did not mean they haven't had any reports in 2022, but much like the majority of claimed sightings if they are explainable they don't make it into the registrar. It appears the latest video was deemed credible enough to be unexplainable and therefore has been added to the list.
