A paranormal researcher in Scotland has raised concerns about an exhaustive search for the Loch Ness Monster that is set to be held later this month as he believes that it could inadvertently unleash a "whirlpool of evil." The unsettling warning was reportedly put forward by Ron Halliday, who has studied and written about the world of high strangeness for three decades. In response to the recent announcement of a massive, multifaceted hunt for the famed Loch Ness Monster scheduled for the end of August, the seasoned paranormal researcher mused that "I'm not convinced this search is a good idea."
His reasoning for this uneasiness is that "there's little evidence that we're dealing with a flesh-and-blood creature" and that something far more sinister could lurk in Loch Ness. To that end, he argued that the "more likely" scenario is that the 'monster' is some kind of "unknown spirit form." With that in mind, Halliday went on to warn that the extensive event, which could see hundreds of people plant themselves around the iconic site looking for the famed cryptid that weekend, may "be stirring up a whirlpool of evil," though what form that might take is anyone's guess.
Citing these concerns, the paranormal researcher has actually called for the search to be cancelled "or at the very least, there's some psychic protection" bestowed upon participants in the hunt. As one might imagine, the organizers of the epic headline-making event have no intention of pulling on the plug on the gathering, despite the paranormal researcher's warning. "Whilst we appreciate the offer of psychic protection," Paul Nixon of the Loch Ness Centre said, "we are confident our robust safety procedures will ensure a positive weekend for all involved."
