‘Most compelling footage yet’ reveals a monstrous shape stalking through Loch Ness waters
EYE-popping new footage reveals a monstrous shape stalking through the waters of Loch Ness, in what a Nessie hunter has called his compelling sighting ever.
Eoin O’Faodhagain was watching the water via webcam when he spotted the enormous presence, estimated to be over 25ft long, on the far side of the loch.
“If there was ever a sighting that was supposed to be the Loch Ness Monster, this sighting fits the bill,” said the veteran Nessie hunter.
“Something live ploughs through the loch showing plenty of movement, and shows at times something sticking out of the water, like a neck or black humps.
“This is very large indeed, considering the normal length of creatures that live in Loch Ness.
“Its size alone would rule out otters and seals, and the speed it generated definitely rules both of these animals out.
“It is the most compelling footage I have captured of a very large live creature in Loch Ness.”
The sighting was captured at Shoreland Lodges, near Fort Augustus on the loch’s southern shore, where Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN) maintains a webcam.
And it occurred at nearly 10pm on Monday evening – long after the day’s last tourist cruise.
Eoin, 58, said: “This is no pleasure craft of any sort, but actually a very large live creature.
“Remember it is 9.55pm at night, which seems a nice quite time for something beastly to launch into activity.”
Mr O’Faodhagain is a prolific source of webcam sightings, often logging on to watch the water from his home in County Donegal.
But even for him the sighting stood out.
“I would say this is one of the best sightings I have captured on this webcam to date,” he said.
“We are definitely on track for a vintage year of sightings of the Loch Ness Monster.
“I am already on this track, and it is great to have access to the loch view through the VILN webcams to record these sightings.”
