Loch Ness monster in hiding as swimmers scare her into ‘quietest ever yr’ for sightings
The Loch Ness monster is the true master of hide and seek, but apparently 2024 the mythical beast has really upped its game with the ‘quietest ever year’ for sightings
Nessie is too shy to rear her head in Loch Ness – because trendy cold water swimmers are scaring her away.
The shy beast has only been seen three times in 2024 – her quietest year ever. And experts say the latest trend for swimming in open wild water is making her keep her distance.
Rob Long, from the Loch Ness Exploration crew, said: “Nessie is there, we all know it, but she is clearly getting wise to people looking for her.

“We also think she is being put off from additional activity in the loch, such as people wanting to try cold water swimming.
“She is feeling shy, and it is no wonder with everyone recording her every move.
“But even though she isn’t breaking the surface as much, it is clear she is still very much treating the area as home.”
Despite the lack of viewings, experts said 2024 provided the most definitive proof that Nessie exists due to sonar recordings.
Now plans are afoot to launch the “biggest hunt in a decade” to prove she really is there.
Rob added: “2025 will be the year we prove she is real.
“Plans are being put together to launch the biggest hunt seen for 10 years. Sonar activity is so strong there is just no chance there is nothing down there.
“We want to send a submarine to investigate the evidence we have collated this year.
“We believe the Loch is actually deeper than first thought and she is living deep in the trenches.
“We haven’t really pushed to go deep to find her in the last 10 years and with new technology now available, we want 2025 to launch a big exploration mission. It is very exciting.”
The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register said the sonar soundings were “among the best evidence of Nessie and that is where future deep down research should be concentrated.”
