A curious video from a Loch Ness webcam shows a sizeable anomaly, estimated to be around twenty feet in length, that some suspect could be the site's famed 'monster.' The intriguing scene was reportedly noticed late last month by diligent livestream viewer Eoin O’Faodhagain, who managed to capture the moment while watching from his home in Ireland. In the video (seen above), the webcam pans across Loch Ness and then briefly stops before it begins moving again. It is during that pause that a long and rather inexplicable anomaly can be seen on the water. "The length of the visible wake is in excess of 20 feet," O’Faodhagain marveled, "and the creature responsible must be very large underneath the water."

As for what could have created the peculiar disturbance on the water, the seasoned webcam watcher did not offer any specific answer, though argued that "certainly it's too large for known animals or fish that live in the loch. Otters would never reach sizes of that magnitude, or seals for that matter." Offering his recollection of the "exhilarating" moment when he spotted the anomaly, O’Faodhagain recalled, "the calm conditions and clear evening colors of the surrounding landscape were picturesque, when the only thing missing was the Loch Ness Monster and up she popped!"

The potential sighting is the virtual monster hunter's third of the year following a pair of possible appearances by the creature that he captured last month. That said, O’Faodhagain's reports continue to be rebuffed by the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, which introduced rather stringent new requirements for webcam footage last year. To date, the organization has yet to record an official sighting in 2023 and the last report to make the list was back in October of 2022. While some may find that worrisome, one imagines that there will more visitors to Loch Ness in the coming months as the warmer weather takes hold and, hopefully, this will lead to on-site witnesses spotting something unusual that will make the cut.
