So good is this image that veteran monster hunter of over twenty years, Steve Feltham from local village Dores, commented that it was the best photograph he had ever seen depicting the mythical monster.

Possible New Nessie Picture



Loch Ness monster fan club president , Gary Campbell, was highly delighted to comment that a new photograph - taken by a local man from that part of Scotland - was as good as the evidence gets that there seems to be an unknown animal in Loch Ness, which could only really be the legendary Nessie, elusive creature of so many tales.

Veteran Nessie hunter George Edwards - a boat operator - has only just published the picture, drawing the above praise from his fellow monster expert, though a rival Nessie hunter naturally raised doubts - maintaining that a the shape in the picture was just a fake of a 26 year-old monster photograph, though this was of course hotly denied by Edwards - owner of Drumnadrochit-based Loch Ness Cruises - commenting that the new photograph had been snapped near Urquhart Castle at 9am on 2 November last year, from his boat/

He had not previously published the picture because he had sent it away for analysis, wanting reassurance of the object not being inanimate and therefore ineligible. So good is this image that veteran monster hunter of over twenty years, Steve Feltham from local village Dores, commented that it was the best photograph he had ever seen depicting the mythical monster.

Of course there are detractors, not least naturalist and leader of the Loch Ness Project Adrian Shine, who feels the picture is indeterminate, but Edwards, 60, whose quest began in 1986 with the first Nessie picture he took, commented that, on that recent November day, the object pictured was a dark grey colour and slowly moving up the loch towards Urquhart Castle, probably about half a mile away from the boat, and clearly visible for between five and ten minutes before it slowly sank below the surface, though he conceded failing to find any trace of it below the water - using the boat’s sonar, despite a 30 minute search.

Tony I went fishing on Loch Ness once had the biggest bite I ever had dragged him in ( took about 11 hours) and it was a 40ft 20 ton humpbacked monster. Our Scottish guide though made us throw him back in as they relied on Nessie for all there tourism. Would not even let us take a photograph which is a pity because no one believes me, I hope you do
Best Wishes
