After a quiet few months, it appears Nessie is back. A local resident has become the fifth person to have an official Loch Ness Monster sighting this year after spotting something moving against the current for over seven minutes.
The local captured the monster frolicking in the north of the famous loch. This sighting comes a month after research was published just over a month ago claiming that the existence of the beast was plausible.

According to The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register this is the first official sighting since the last one was recorded in April. The incident, which took place on August 27, occurred at the northern tip of the loch.
Posting on the official website, keeper Gary Campbell, who has recorded over a thousand sightings, wrote: "A local resident was on the hill above Lochend when they saw a wake moving against prevailing currents from Lochend in the direction of Drumnadrochit.
"There was no visible cause of wake. The sighting lasted seven minutes and they took some video footage."
He then posted a clip from the video which shows the unusual wake but no object on the surface can be seen causing it. The news comes as more sightings are expected over the coming months, thanks to the installation of five webcams at the famous loch.

Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN) has placed the five cameras at various places around the 23-mile long loch in hopes of making it easier for avid Nessie hunters to hopefully spot the creature from the comfort of their own homes.
It'll mean Nessie fans can keep an eye on the loch 365 days a year hopefully leading to even more sightings of this elusive creature.
