Watch: Swimming Loch Ness Monster Spotted on Webcam?

By Tim Binnall

A diligent Loch Ness webcam watcher believes that he may have captured footage of the site's resident monster as it was swimming though the water. The intriguing virtual sighting was reportedly recorded by Ireland's Eoin O'Faodhagain, who has accumulated a considerable amount of potential Nessie video evidence by way of countless hours spent watching livestreams overlooking the location. While watching one of the newly installed webcams earlier this month, he caught sight of "a splash and movement on the screen coming into view on the right," which was followed by the emergence of "a long black shape."

Having seen all manner of oddities pop up on the livestream in the past, O'Faodhagain posited that "this object was no fish, or a log for that matter." He based this assertion on the fact that the anomaly, which he estimates to have been approximately 10 feet long, appeared to move across the water "in a controlled speed" which led him to conclude that he had spotted "a live creature." Fortunately, O'Faodhagain's experience watching the Loch Ness webcams left him well-versed in what to do next as he quickly began recording the sighting which lasted for a lengthy nine minutes.

Considering how many times O'Faodhagain has possibly caught sight of Nessie via the various webcams, he was particularly enthusiastic about this most recent report, making the rather bold declaration that the screencaptures "have proven the existence of the monster, and brought her from folklore to reality." While the virtual Nessie hunter may feel that is the case, skeptical observers will argue that the difficult-to-decipher footage is far from definitive proof that the creature, whatever it is, exists. With that in mind, what do you make of O'Faodhagain's latest sighting at Loch Ness? Share your thoughts with us at the C2C Facebook page.
