A diligent Loch Ness webcam watcher spotted a curious anomaly emerge from the waters of the legendary Scottish site and he suspects that the unusual form could be a glimpse of a young Nessie. The intriguing sighting (seen above) was reportedly captured late last month by virtual monster hunter Eoin O’Faodhagain, who was watching a live stream of the iconic location from his home in Ireland. On that particular day, he noticed a rounded shape seemingly pop out of the water and slowly move against the current. "I kept zooming in and out of the video clip," he later recalled, "and just as well because I got one of the strangest images I have ever got in Loch Ness. It's this image of a half-circle hump, light grey in color with three uniform black spots."
Estimating that the object was only around two feet long, he observed that "there seemed to be a lot going on underneath the water" and noted that "you could see a lot of splashing going on around it." Pointing to "the three black-spot pattern" sported by the anomaly, the seasoned webcam watcher argued that this would seemingly preclude the possibility that it was not a seal, otter, or an eel as those creatures do not have such markings. Additionally, O’Faodhagain expressed skepticism over the idea that it might be a snake, due to the "two-foot oval hump" seen coming out of the water and ultimately posited that the oddity's "slow pace" would appear to eliminate the aforementioned animal suspects.
Given the small size of the anomaly and considering that he could not identify what it might have been, O’Faodhagain mused that "I have no idea what this strange moving object is, only to suggest it could be a young Nessie." What such a suggestion might seen rather fantastic, if Loch Ness is home to a mysterious yet-to-be-identified creature, it would stand to reason that there would be juvenile versions of the 'monster' located at the site alongside their adult counterparts. With that in mind, what do you think O’Faodhagain observed emerging from the water at Loch Ness? Share your theory with us at the C2C Facebook page.
