Shocking new footage has shown what a Nessie-hunter believes is the Loch Ness Monster.
For years, Eoin O’Faodhagain, 59, has been racking up supposed sightings of the creature via webcam, but he reckons his latest is the strangest yet.
He was watching the live cameras on the Visit Inverness website when he saw a black shape breaching the surface of the loch and moving steadily north against the current.
Mr. O’Faodhagain couldn’t believe what he was seeing: ‘I kept zooming in and out of the video clip, 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 colour with three uniform black spots.

Arguing back against skeptics, he added ‘As nobody to date knows what the Loch Ness Monster is, nobody can say it isn’t’
‘If I was looking up in the sky at it, I would have said it was a UFO, but I was looking at a webcam over part of Loch Ness.
‘I have no idea what this strange moving object is, only to suggest it could be a young Nessie.’

The monster hunter believes that whatever it was, most of it’s body was lurking underneath the water.
He said ‘The size of the object out of the water was not big – only maybe two feet long, but there seemed to be a lot going on underneath the water.
‘As it moved further from the camera, you could see a lot of splashing going on around it, and this was very peculiar as it was not moving fast.’
After doing some research, Mr. O’Faodhagain failed to match the unique spots with any other inhabitant of the loch.
The 59-year-old added ‘The markings of the three black-spot pattern is very unusual.

‘No seal or otter has markings like that, and – as for an eel – no on that as well.
‘Anyway, it is moving too rigidly for any of these animals, and at a constant slow pace.
‘Snakes might have markings on their skin, but what snake has a two-foot oval hump?’
As a keen Nessie hunter, he often logs on to watch the Scottish waters from his home in County Donegal, Ireland.
He made his most recent sighting using a webcam maintained by Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN) at Shoreland Lodges, near Fort Augustus on the loch’s southern shore.
If you fancy trying to spot the monster yourself, VILN webcams can be watched live online.
The spotting comes just after an Inverness local was convinced she spotted the mythical creature after capturing footage of big ripples in the lake.
Huge ripples (circled) in the water were spotted by Siobhan Janaway which she believes may have been from the Loch Ness Monster

Siobhan Janaway said she first believed the disturbance on the water’s surface was from a powerboat but has claimed she could not see any vessels nearby.
She reported the sighting to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, where six other sightings have been logged so far this year.
According to the site, Fiona Wade reported that she saw what ‘initially looked like a periscope’.
Adding ‘but then two curved areas followed, it was moving and about half way out in the Loch looking roughly over to mid way between Foyers and Whitebridge.
‘I have seen deer crossing before but this was like nothing I have seen before and I can only describe it as Nessie.’
Separately, Alastair Gray claimed he saw humps in the loch and father-of-four Steve Valentine also said he spotted a ‘black shape’ with ‘a hump’ on August 17.
