Is The Loch Ness Monster Real? 'Black Humps' In Water Reignite Debate

A Loch Ness monster enthusiast recently claimed he has made the fourth "official" sighting of the creature this year.

Eoin O'Faodhagain reportedly spotted two "black humps" about 10 feet apart, splashing around in Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The 56-year-old said he took photos last Friday of the mythical beast "rising up and down" near Urquhart Castle.

This area has been a spot for Loch Ness monster enthusiasts, with many claiming they have sighted the creature in the area.

According to media outlet The Inverness Courier, O'Faodhagain claimed he has had 12 sightings of the creature recorded in the Official Loch Ness Monsters Sightings Register since 1987. He used a Loch Ness webcam to record strange disturbances in the water in the past.

In the recent video, he claims to have seen thick ripples out in the water, despite there being no boats on the loch. The video, which he shared on YouTube, shows two large breaks in the water. Two "black humps" are seen slowly moving over the surface of the water before completely disappearing.

O'Faodhagain sent the video to the Official Loch Ness Monster Sighting Register who then registered it as an official sighting, The Inverness Courier reported.

"While watching the webcam in the late afternoon, my attention was attracted to a disturbance in the water in the middle of the lake," O'Faodhagain said. "A black shape broke the surface with a wake. It was moving slowly but was causing a lot of water agitation around it."

"Two black hump-like shapes seemed to be popping up and down as it cut through the surface of the Loch... The object is viewed for 1 minute 41 seconds, after this it just disappeared," he added. "There was no boat activity on the lake at the time of the sighting."

O'Faodhagain claimed he had seen similar shapes splashing in the water on Jan. 19 and Jan. 22 this year.

Meanwhile, another Nessie enthusiast from Oregan, Kalynn Wangle, reported the first sighting of the mythical creature this year on Jan. 11. She said she noticed a V shape in the loch that was only there for a few seconds.

However, the mystery behind the Loch Ness monster's existence continues.
