Loch Ness Monster: Double-humped ‘creature’ caught on camera
A mysterious double-humped creature caught on film has led a monster hunter to claim “the only possibility is Nessie”.
Eoin O’Faodhagain said he spotted something estimated to be up to 20ft long, rising and sinking in the water as he watched the surface of Loch Ness in Scotland via webcam.
“I noticed a disturbance in the middle of Loch Ness, to the right of the screen,” he explained. “I saw a shape rise up out of the water, then submerge, four times in the same spot, which I considered to be highly unusual.”
He continued: “I thought it could be Nessie, but first wanted to look at other options. I’ve ruled out a log – I’ve never seen a log emerging and submerging in the same spot, ever.
“And waves move along, they do not stay in the one place. It’s far too large for any wildfowl or seals, and I’ve also ruled out divers or swimmers. The only possibility is Nessie.”
The sighting was made last Sunday through a live feed from a webcam at the Clansman Hotel maintained by Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN). It is an unusually early time of the year for the Loch Ness Monster to make an alleged appearance. Only a handful of entries were recorded in the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register last year, with the earliest of those being in April.
“It could be the first genuine Nessie Sighting of 2025,” said Mr O’Faodhagain, 60. “January would not be a popular month for Nessie sightings, maybe because there are fewer pleasure craft out on the loch.”
The clip, which only lasts for a few seconds, shows a pair of black humps which can be seen rising and sinking in the water. These could be the head and body of the beast, the monster hunter said.
“There was one long hump and a smaller hump to the right of this, which I surmised to be the possible head of the creature,” he explained. “That would mean it’s positioned to move against the current.”
The mysterious creature’s behaviour, emerging and submerging repeatedly, was characteristic of other Nessie encounters, Mr O’Faodhagain claimed. “This type of behaviour has been documented in other live sightings at Loch Ness over the years, so you could call this a classic sighting,” he said.
“There is a strong resemblance to my only registered sighting last year, also captured on the Clansman webcam in July. That consisted of two humps as well – one small at the front, followed by a large hump behind it.”
Mr O’Faodhagain, who lives in County Donegal, Ireland, often logs on to the webcam portal to scour the waters of Loch Ness for signs of the monster. Over the years, he’s racked up multiple entries in the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register. The VILN webcams can be watched live online at visitinvernesslochness.com
