An eight-year-old girl visiting Loch Ness with her grandmother may have captured footage of the famed creature said to lurk in the waters of the legendary site. According to a Scottish media outlet, the odd anomaly was filmed by Laria Annand after she and her grandmother, Marie, spotted something strange on the water out in the distance. Since there were no boats or people in the area at the time, the pair were mystified by what it may have been.
Fortunately, Annand used her grandmother's cell phone to film the odd scene which features the sun reflecting off of something, seemingly long and sporting a series of humps, emerging out of the water. Left with little in the way of possible answers as to what it may have been, the duo suspects that they may have been lucky enough to encounter Nessie. But skeptics aren't quite convinced that the anomaly in the video is the infamous Loch Ness Monster.
The prevailing opinion on the video among those who do not believe in Nessie is that the anomaly is probably just the sun hitting the water at just the right angle to create the appearance of some kind of creature. Since what would be the body of the beast is largely obscured by the sun's reflection, it's difficult to discern what exactly is being illuminated. And so, as with most pieces of Loch Ness Monster footage, the ultimate determination of what was out there in the water is left up to the viewer to decide.
What's your take on the weird footage? Did the girl and her grandmother genuinely see Nessie? Or, as the skeptics say, is the 'creature' merely a literal trick of light and shadow made monstrous in the minds of the duo due to where they happened to be at the time?
