‘Monster’ filmed from deepest part of Loch Ness as ‘exceptional year for sightings’ predicted

A mysterious black presence emerges from the depths of Loch Ness in tantalizing new footage – and experts say it “could just be Nessie” herself.

Eoin O’Faodhagain, from County Donegal in Ireland, spotted the “strange” presence in the waters near Urquhart Castle while monitoring the loch via webcam on Wednesday morning.

He said: “I noticed a bump-shaped object on the right side of the screen, moving through the middle of the loch. Sometimes it seemed to be higher out of the water, other times lower. It was moving quickly with no visible wake, but the waters of the loch were not calm.

“I thought it was a most unusual sight: it didn’t ply the water like a boat with a motor, nor did it sail across it. The weather conditions were dry, but windy with some swell, and as such I don’t think it was a paddleboarder. Weird is an understatement.

He continued: “Its movement and appearance seemed strange, and I felt excited – as if this shape in the water could be something more mysterious.

“I don’t think the hump is a seal – that’s definitely not seal behavior. I think it might well be Nessie, having exhausted all other possibilities.

The webcam that captured the images is on the west shore of the lake and is maintained by Mikko Takala of Nessie on the Net.

Mr O’Faodhagain estimated the hump was about a kilometer from the camera, so was perhaps 10 feet long and stood four feet out of the water.

“I don’t know of any known creature that could be this size in Loch Ness,” he said.

A veteran Nessie hunter, Eoin often logs in to watch the water from his home in County Donegal. Just three weeks ago, he recorded another potential Nessie sighting in the same location – and he thinks it’s no coincidence.

The 59-year-old said: “I think it is significant that this is the second consecutive sighting in the same area of ​​something large in Loch Ness.

“In my opinion, it is no coincidence that this area is the deepest part of the Loch, with a history of repeated monster sightings over many years. This could be another bumper year for sightings.
