Nessie watcher’s monster-length footage

-

THE Loch Ness Monster has been filmed cavorting in the water for 10 minutes, says a fan who tuned into a live webcam on the shore.

Eoin O’Faodhagain had “a terrific shock” and took lengthy footage of what he believes was Nessie diving and surfacing. The clip has been accepted by the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.

Nessie watcher Eoin, 53, from Co Donegal, Northern Ireland, said: “I couldn’t believe my eyes and started recording it on my phone.

“It was certainly something big. It dived down and up again and dived and disappeare­d. It was not a boat. I would say it was Nessie.”

Gary Campbell, keeper of the sightings register, said: “As far as Nessie footage goes, this is a feature film. Normally you only get videos of one or two seconds. It is remarkable in its length. Clearly it is something that dives in and out of the surface with water splashes and reflection­s. The object would be no larger than 20ft.”

The news comes just days before DNA sampling on fragments of skin and scales collected from the loch in the Scottish Highlands.
