The Loch Ness Monster has been “spotted” two more times within a matter of days.
A US tourist says he saw a “dark-greenish grey body” rise from the water after months without a recorded sighting.
Traveller Tony Inhorn reported his first sighting on 1 March near the opening of the Caledonian Canal, according to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.
The alleged encounter marked the first report of the creature since late October.
A second sighting followed days later, on 5 March, when Eoin Fagan observed what he described as unusual movement via a live webcam feed operated by Visit Inverness Loch Ness near The Clansman Hotel.
Both sightings were logged by the Nessie hunt register, which documents reported appearances of the long-debated creature.
Tony said: “At 10.30am, just near the opening for the Caledonian Canal, I saw the dark-greenish gray body of what appeared to be Nessie emerge from the water. Based on its movement and proportions, I estimate it was either the top of Nessie (her back) or the side, suggesting that she may have been emerging at a 45 degree angle.
“She came about two feet out of the water and her exposed portion was about five to 10 feet in length, suggesting it was just her very top. She was about 15 feet from the boat I was on. Nessie hovered for about five seconds, then dipped back into the water. Her body emerged against the chop of the surf, but appeared clearly defined against the waves, leading me to believe it wasn’t just the current.”
Tony also produced a sketch of the sighting, estimating the visible mass to measure between five and 10 feet across.
His account was later reposted by the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.
Eoin reported the second “sighting” after reviewing webcam footage.
He said he saw an object showing “mysterious movement and shape” which “broke the surface four times, rose and dipped” while travelling against the current at about 5.20pm.
The Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register said the object was seen roughly 200 yards from the pier, adding no vessels were visible before or after the sighting.
It added weather conditions at the time were cloudy with only a slight ripple on the surface, noting the supposed object’s movement appeared to go against the prevailing current in the area.
In 2024, Alan McKenna, founder of Loch Ness Exploration, said “standing waves” – a natural phenomenon – could explain some sightings, adding they may be mistaken for “humps” above the surface.
The Loch Ness Monster, or “Nessie,” is a mythical creature in Scottish folklore said to inhabit Loch Ness, a large freshwater lake near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.
The loch is over 700 feet deep and located about three hours north of Edinburgh.
Despite countless searches, its existence is unproven and considered a myth by scientists
