A diligent Loch Ness webcam viewer with a history of spotting anomalies that just might be the site's resident 'monster' has once again recorded just such an oddity. Ireland's Eoin O'Faodhagain has established himself as something of a Nessie whisperer by way of the livestream which watches over the iconic Scottish site. Over the last two years, the committed 'monster hunter' has amassed a staggering 13 reports of curious incidents occurring on the webcam with his latest potential sighting being a case from mid-October.
According to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, O'Faodhagain was watching the webcam on October 19th when he saw "a black object high out of the water moving down the Loch, on the northern side." In a captured video of the incident (seen above), a distinct dark anomaly can be seen traveling down the water until it appears to realize that there is a boat heading towards it. The oddity then submerges as the vessel passes across the area where the possible 'monster' was last seen.
Gary Campbell, who oversees the register and accepted O'Faodhagain's report as an official sighting, observed that "the object had to be a couple of feet or more out of the water when first sighted, especially to see it from that distance." This latest case is the 16th sighting of 2021 with 10 reports coming via viewers of the webcam, 5 from witnesses on-site at Loch Ness, and one particularly intriguing case of the creature possibly being spotted on sonar.
