Loch Ness Monster Reportings on the Rise After Sighting on Apple Maps


Images of what is reportedly the infamous monster of Scotland's Loch Ness has spawned a spate of copycat sightings since the mythical creature was supposedly captured on Apple Maps by amateur Loch Ness Monster spotters last year.

Photos of what appears to be a creature roughly 100 feet in length floating under the surface of the North End of Loch Ness, a large freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands, has recently gone viral in media reports and online forums.

Glen Campbell, 49, the founder and president of The Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club, which has been studying the images for months, told ABC News he's received at least two more reports of similar sightings of the elusive plesiosaur known as "Nessie," since they went public.

The pictures taken on satellite imagery by Apple for its smartphone maps were first flagged by two people late last year. Andrew Dixon and Peter Thain both separately sent images in to the Nessie Fan Club, which contains a register for every Loch Ness Monster sighting since 565 A.D., according to Campbell.

Funny, that image looks nothing like the prior "sighting images".

Ole Nessie has gained some weight since those pics were taken.

I'm a fan of ole Nessie...

Me too, along with Sasquatch, etc. I know the chances of any being confirmed are nil to none but at least it adds a little mystery to our lives.

I did watch that "Survivorman" episode(s) where Les was looking for Bigfoot evidence, got me a little excited in what they found

yea, looks more like a sturgeon, however someone who was making comments on facebook said it was a big boat and these were the waves coming off it.

Wonder how many fillets we can get off a 300+ foot sturgeon

I think it is waves from a boat too or maybe a school of fish dispersing looking like something we want to imagine is there.

well the dude (or dude-ette) on facebook said his (or her) job was to analyze sat photographs and there was no way this was something "bio" in nature and if you know what to look for you can see the rigging on the deck. boat, waves, suddenly nessie lives.

in a shape never known to her before.

Digitally altered image. Naw, people wouldn 't do that to get in the headlines and be worldwide known. lol.

I really don't find it that hard to believe that there is a big fish or whatever out there, .. even though it has never been confirmed. Experts are finding new sea life all of the time. "Under water" is a great big area, of which we certainly don't know everything.

But the whole bigfoot thing is a little hard to take in. I mean if there was a bigfoot, he had to have a mother and father, and each of them had to have a mother and father, and so on.

With all of those running around we would have seen something concrete by now. IMO.

I agree with the possibility of something big living in the sea, but I wouldn't expect anything large to be living in something the relatively small size of Loch Ness.

Right, but there is a difference between a giant lake, and the sea.

Ya think?

Question is do people receiving digital images over the net think.

I pretty much don't put stock in the Bigfoot thing either, except for one little detail, that being that the original SurvivorMan himself, Les Stroud, who also was very much not a Bigfoot believer, is rather convinced that on one of his survival excursions, he did (almost) encounter a Bigfoot. That perked my ears up, because that guy knows what he's talking about... it's on the Youtubes somewheres if you want to look it up...he had recounted the story in an interview, and to my recollection there were some not very family-friendly words interwoven here and there, so I'll not link to it...

Last week, Japanese scientists explaced… placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Cort Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland’s local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.
