A woman visiting Loch Ness was left scratching her head when she spotted what may have been the legendary 'monster' swimming. The intriguing footage was shared by the Loch Ness Centre, which explained that the sighting occurred on July 16th as the witness, identified as Livia, and her boyfriend were watching the water near the iconic Urquhart Castle. In the video (featured above), a dark and fairly sizeable anomaly can be seen bobbing along Loch Ness, seemingly swimming against the current of the water.

As she watches the weirdness unfold, Livia can be heard expressing skepticism that the object is "not just a twig that is going in and out" of the water. That said, in posting the video online, the Loch Ness Centre conceded that the anomaly could be "a tree caught in the castle's outlet pipe" or, if one believes that it is a creature, a seal. "Either way," the tourist attraction mused, "they left with a story to tell and a video that had them wondering what else might be beneath the surface."

Livia's video was one of seven possible 'monster' sightings from this year documented by the Loch Ness Centre in a post at their website on Monday. Among the other potential Nessie cases were an interesting photo snapped by an Italian tourist a few months ago and a picture of a mysterious "dark brown shape" that the witness noticed moving in the water. In sharing the curious collection of sightings, the Loch Ness Centre observed that they serve as "a reminder that monster hunting is alive and well" at the iconic Scottish site.
