A Loch Ness Monster expert has captured new potential footage of the legendary beast.
Longtime Nessie hunter Eoin O Faodhagain was observing the Visit Inverness Loch Ness online webcam of the Scottish loch last month when he spotted something unusual. On two separate occasions, the expert noticed strange activity on the surface of the water.
On September 4, at around 12.35pm, O Faodhagain observed a “singular black hump” on the webcam. According to him, the strange shape “moved slowly” across the water.
Speaking to the Daily Record, O Faodhagain described the object as “four-feet long” and “a foot above the water”, adding that it “looked like the shape of a turtle“. He stated: “There was a lot of disturbance under the water front and back stretching out about three-to-four feet, like four fins, two front, two back.”
In O Faodhagain’s footage, which was captured on his phone from the computer screen, the black object appears as a small rectangular form. It gradually moves towards the left side of the screen as O Faodhagain zooms in and out on his phone camera.
He added: “At one point near the end of the video clip I photographed an unusual sight, a cylinder shaped object appeared across the front of the object and moved to the left. I don’t know if this is the neck of the object, but it did seem to come from the middle front of the object.
“The line is roughly the length of the object on the surface. If it is the neck it rules out seals and otters.
“The object went behind the tree on the left of the web screen but did not reappear the far side of it.”
Meanwhile, the Nessie hunter also observed a second potential sighting two days later on September 6. At approximately 7.45pm, O Faodhagain saw “two massive wakes” on the surface of the water.
According to O Faodhagain, the wakes moved “in sequence to each other”. After this, they proceeded to turn left and then “fizzled out into nothing”.
The second sighting occurred in clear and calm conditions, while O Faodhagain stated that “no visible surface vessels” were present. He described the wakes as “extraordinary”, and commented that they “didn’t come from known creatures”.
O Faodhagain continued: “They are unexplained. It highlights the fact that there could be two Nessies in Loch Ness.”
O Faodhagain has been on the search for the mythical Loch Ness Monster since 1987. As reported by the Daily Record, he previously shared footage of “two dark shapes” on the surface of the loch in July.
