Loch Ness monster reportedly sighted by couple on holiday who snapped 'compelling' footage

The Loch Ness monster has reportedly been spotted for the fourth time this year by a couple on holiday. On Monday, April 25 a pair of holidaymakers staying in a cottage overlooking Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness believe they saw something in the water, reported Edinburgh Live.

They have reported seeing the beast at just after 6am, and video footage purporting to show a large creature going in and out of the water has been shared. The sighting was logged on the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register last week.

The log read: "A couple on holiday for a week were staying in a cottage overlooking Urquhart Castle when they saw something in the water at 6.16am. They took a video which was later examined by a local photographic and video expert who said that what they captured was clearly animate, came out of the water before going back in again (and then out once more) and was definitely larger than, for example, the bird life in the loch."

Gary Campbell, who has spent a quarter century recording Nessie sightings, told Mail Online the latest footage was "up there with the best of them.

The Mirror reports that a couple in their 50s filmed a mysterious creature swimming just below the surface of the water around 150 yards from the shore, with a strong wake of water behind it. "I really don’t know what it was in the water. It was something large... It was propelling itself with something. It wasn’t how a fish would do it," the woman said.

The husband and wife claim the creature was between 20 and 30ft long and had at least one fin or limb which moved "like an oar" beneath the surface. They described seeing something weird under the water which "rushed forward and turned around."
