The legendary Loch Ness Monster is making waves once again after the beloved cryptid was spotted on two different occasions over the course of just five days. The first sighting reportedly occurred on February 23rd when a British woman named Lisa Brennan was visiting the iconic Scottish site. As she and her partner were driving along a road near the loch, she suddenly caught sight of a strange dark form emerge from the water.
Amazed by what she was seeing, Brennan had her partner slow down the car so that she could take a picture of the oddity. Alas, in the time between her initial sighting and when she managed to take the photo, a considerable portion of the mystery creature had sunk back down beneath the water and, as such, the image provides only a glimpse of the anomalous denizen of the loch.
Brennan's encounter was soon followed by a second sighting of the creature by a man in Ireland who was watching the Loch Ness webcam when something odd caught his attention. "I noticed a dark object appear briefly," Eoin O’ Faodhagain said, "then it was gone." Fortunately, unlike the experience of on-site Nessie witnesses who see the creature for a few fleeting moments before it is gone, the webcam could be rewound and, thus, he was able to take a screen capture of the anomaly in the water.
"I knew immediately I had spotted Nessie, and not a boat," O’ Faodhagain declared, "boats do not disappear from screen." He added that he watched the webcam for another 20 minutes and did not see the object again nor anything that could account for what it might have been. The pair of late-February sightings constitute the 2nd and 3rd appearances of the Loch Ness Monster in 2019 as a pair of brothers claimed to have seen the creature in late January as well.
