An "unexplained noise" and a possible Loch Ness Monster sighting have sparked excitement among monster enthusiasts . In a nod to the 90th anniversary of the first-ever organized surface watch, hundreds of eager Nessie seekers combed the 23-mile stretch of water for fresh, peculiar activity when an enigmatic sound heightened the suspense.
The quest to uncover the truth about Scotland's fabled creature has captivated onlookers for years, drawing in avid monster trackers from across the globe for a weekend-long search. The most recent expedition ended with the recording of an inexplicable sound by a hydrophone and a potential sighting.
The Loch Ness Centre spearheaded a grand search of Loch Ness from May 30 to June 2, continuing its mission to unravel the loch's secrets, reports the Daily Star . Alan McKenna of Loch Ness Exploration recorded an unusual noise using the hydrophone, which picked up a rhythmic thumping that persisted for around 10 seconds.
Alan is set to analyze the sound further to pinpoint its origin, as it's unlike anything he's encountered before. Additionally, 11-year-old Evelyn Murphy managed to snap a photo that suggests a possible sighting.
The remarkable photo captures a distinct disruption in the water's surface, caused by an unidentified entity. The Quest commemorated the 90th anniversary of the original expedition led by the intrepid Sir Edward Mountain and his team of twenty, who were the first official 'Watchers of the Monster'.
Throughout the four-day event, not only was the search on, but attendees also enjoyed various celebratory activities, including a panel that shared captivating tales and engaged in discussions about the existence of the legendary creature.
