A Nessie hunter has captured two huge unknown objects submerging on a Loch Ness webcam as monster sightings reach peak levels in the Scottish Highlands
A Nessie hunter believes he has caught two massive unidentified creatures slipping beneath the surface of Loch Ness on a live webcam. Eoin Fagan contacted the Daily Star after spotting two huge objects moving through the water from his home in County Donegal, Ireland, on July 9.
Describing the dramatic footage, Eoin said: “The sighting took place at 3.29pm of two moving targets the size of a small cabin cruiser, that can range in size from 23 feet to 33 feet in length.
“I also took a photo later that day of a cabin cruiser in the same area of the loch where the two targets were moving through. They are easily the size of the cabin cruiser photographed.
“In the video clip the more northerly object submerges first, followed by the object behind it 15 seconds later. They gradually submerge, not just gone in a blink of an eye, but gradually.”
Eoin noted that the weather at the time was cloudy but dry, with a north-westerly wind creating a slightly choppy surface. However, he insists the targets were far too big to be ordinary wildlife.
He said: “The targets are huge in regard to size of normal aquatic species that frequent Loch Ness such as seals that grow up to eight feet long.
“It is mind boggling to think there are creatures the length of a cabin cruiser swimming in the peaty depths of Loch Ness, evading detection for so long.”
The startling sighting comes as interest in the legendary Scottish monster surges, with total reported encounters for the year rapidly climbing.
Among other recent reports is an encounter by nine-year-old Australian tourist Crystal, who spotted what she believed to be “the head of a creature in the water” at 11.30am on July 23 while travelling on the bottom deck of a Loch Ness cruise boat with her family.
The mysterious encounters come as eager Nessie hunters prepare to flock to the Scottish Highlands for the biggest coordinated search in history this September.
Hundreds of monster enthusiasts are expected to gather as autumn begins, hoping to finally catch a glimpse of the elusive beast.
Dedicated volunteers plan to pitch camp at key vantage points all around the famous loch to keep a watchful eye on the water.
Commenting on the upcoming search, Rob Long from Loch Ness Exploration said: “Nessie is there, we all know it, and we don’t want to scare or put her in fear, but it would be great to subtly be able to get some answers into the legend.”
