The latest sighting of the famously illusive Loch Ness Monster was recorded on January 24, 2024, and the tourist who saw it claims he was most surprised by the colour.
Jarod Strong was close to Urquhart Castle on the banks of the loch, near Inverness, Scotland when he says he spotted the mysterious monster. However, although being surprised at the sight of old Nessie, he reveals the thing that shocked him most was that it wasn’t green!
Jarod said: “I was near the castle with my family at about 1pm when I noticed a little movement in the water. Then the water started to move a bit more and a long shape came out of the water. It wasn’t the green which I thought he would be, it was more a dark grey colour. Then it quickly went away again but as it was going back under I could see a longer body"
Financial turmoil for Coronation Street's Bill Roache The sighting apparently lasted about four or five seconds and the creature was spotted right in the middle of the loch.
Unfortunately for Loch Ness enthusiasts, it all happened so quickly that Jarod was unable to take a photo.
The incident has been reported to The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, as each year more and more people come forward to claim that they have spotted the creature of legend, or not!
The register is managed by Nessie expert Gary Campbell, who has been performing this role since 1996.
In August of 2023, following reports of sightings over the summer, a huge search for Nessie took place, which included the use of drones. No concrete evidence is reported to have been found.
So, what do you think, is the Loch Ness monster really out there? For now only a few lucky ones who have managed to catch a glimpse can say they are truly sure.
Any creature, from Loch Nest to Big Foot comes from a long line of descendants. So Where are all the bones?
The guy expected Nessie to be green? Does he think it is descended from a frog?
I get a real kick out of those big foot shows where a bunch of bewhiskered rednecks are out hunting big foot. Two of them standing there and they hear a strange noise, a hoot. One says ‘think that’s a big foot’? and the other says ‘sure nuff, that one for sure.’
Now neither of them have ever seen a big foot but they can identify his ‘hoot’.
Everyone needs a hobby.

It may just be a giant eel.

Thanks nickcarraway.
Where is the fossil record of gorillas?

You’ve got to separate the hype from the folks who are serious about the subject. The guys who are serious and devote a huge amount of time to the subject don’t run around crowing about it.
😆
One of the first papers I wrote in Jr. High treated of the Loch Ness Monster. It was inconclusive, but cited sightings up that time some 50 years ago or more.
I’ve been doing research on finding world sanity and have came up empty.
