'Loch Ness Monster' spotted for the first time this year, expert claims

A Loch Ness Monster hunter has recorded the first official sighting of Nessie this year, after spotting 'two objects moving parallel to each other'.

Eoin O'Faodhagain is a veteran spotter and regularly records sightings via the loch's webcam, but he was worried as no one had seen the monster for a while, as the Daily Record reports.

He kept his eyes peeled and monitored the webcam day and night, as well as the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register where no official sightings had been recorded for three months.

But Eoin, who had his first sighting back in 1987, was watching the webcam live stream last Wednesday afternoon (March 23), when he spotted something unexplained.

He explained that it appears to be two objects "moving parallel to each other across the middle of the screen".

The 57-year-old shared the video capture of the virtual sightings, which show strange dark shapes moving about on the surface of the loch.

When one person commented that the clip could just be of a log or some 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."

Inverness-based Register keeper Gary ­Campbell, who has recorded more than 1,136 alleged sightings of mystical Nessie over the past 26 years, recently stated that the start of the year and the end of winter is usually quiet time for the monster.

He added that didn't mean they haven't had any reports in 2022, far from it, but much like the majority of claimed sightings if they are explainable they don't make it into the register.

It appears the latest video was deemed credible enough to be unexplainable and therefore has been added to the list.
