Consuela Ross simply wanted to take some photos of the scenery while walking on the banks of the Loch Ness with her daughter and granddaughter, but the 50-year-old took home more than just images that day.
Ross now claims to have witnessed the Loch Ness monster, fabled to dwell in the depths of the water, as it emerged to the surface to get some air. When a black hump emerged from Britain's biggest loch, however, Ross and her daughter were so mesmerized that despite having a camera on hand, they were only able to record the moment after the mythical beast sank below the surface and moved away, leaving behind a circle of rippled water.
"One of my pictures shows a dark object behind the circle of water and that was it moving away," Ross said. "We were all quite excited by it. I have always been a believer in the monster and for my family to see it was amazing. If we had been a little quicker with our cameras, we would have better images."
The sighting is a relief for monster enthusiasts following reports last year that the Loch Ness monster could well have expired. The Loch's murky waters are said to be haunted by a Scottish beast since 1933. The Nessie first hit the headlines in 1934, with a newspaper publishing a picture of the supposed water beast.
The picture was eventually found to have been staged, but many similar images have come up ever since. Legend has it that the creature, believed to be the last line of plesiosaurs, a prehistoric marine reptile, appears along with tremors on Earth and swirling bubbles.
The 73-year-old Campbell Ross, Connie's husband, said he regrets staying in the car park because he is also a believer of the strange creature living in the loch. He said that he has actually seen something similar about three decades ago.
He was driving back then when he saw a bus transporting tourists stopping by as the tourists looked at something. The retired architect said that a streak could be seen in the water, and this was caused by a black hump that could be seen in the distance.
He said that what his family saw was unusual but until a better visual proof can be produced, he admitted that the mystery of the Loch Ness beast will continue to live on.
My nephew literally owns a digital camera and has broadband internet service, I’m pretty darn sure he knows what he is talking about.
In our family, that nephew is like a genius, he knows computers so well, that he knows a man who uses Linux, which isn’t even a normal computer thing.
It's fake, but accurate. :)
We have some dear friends shall I say in the animal medical business and they toured their. They spoke with a Lock Ness expert and or guide that says their are 14 in the lake he knows their where abouts and keeps it quiet. He referenced some creature pulled up by a fishing vessel a while back and my friends and he believe it is one of the same since at one time this lake had access to the sea, and they concur. Interesting that people of science ( my friends ) are not poo-poo-ing it.....
You’re not fooling ME. THAT’S Michael Moore sunbathing.
What does Brian Williams say?
Did they say what kind of creature it was, exactly?
A - To drink five star whiskey :-)
I wouldn’t mind the countryside but I don’t drink.
sigi,sigi
There is only one lake in Scotland.
Having been there, I loved the Scottish Highlands. My wife an I got married in Inverness.
Yes, the five-star whiskey was the best part of the trip. Came home with several of bottles of 40 year old single malt, where a couple are now 50 years old. Thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent there.
And that scam of a “monster” was never even part of the discussion of what we were going to do on any given day. It never entered our consciousness. There are so many beautiful estates and a wonderful history to engross you, following a hoax is never part of your time.
Your comments too funny. He “literally” owns adigital camera lol everyonewith a cell phone does lol.
God’s own country. Even without the wee drams.
It wasn’t Nessie, it was Champ visiting Loch Ness, since Champ wanted out of Vermont after a cold winter...
Loch Lomond.
