Re: The Loch Ness Monster 2023-Hundreds Join Search-Most Exciting Photos EVER
Meet The Monster Hunters Convinced Nessie is Lurking in The Loch
Hundreds Join Search For The Loch Ness Monster.... Most Exciting Photos EVER
The quest to find Nessie at Loch Ness brings in an estimated £41 million annually
BBC 1 SEP 2023
The monster hunting mob has become quite hi-tech, employing cameras, microphones, night-vision goggles and more
How do you find the world’s most famous beastie these days? No really, it’s a serious question. Do you look for a periscope-kinked neck poking out of the water? Or dark humps that roll like a slinky before fading to black?
Last weekend, a chat with obsessive Loch Ness Monster hunter Alan McKenna revealed he uses a high-tech acoustic hydrophone to identify strange underwater calls and bubbling water. Bubbling water? He pointed to his submersible. “There’s a large creature down there,” he said, patrolling the bank like a ringmaster. “We just have to prove it.”
We were standing on the harbour overlooking Urquhart Bay near Drumnadrochit in melancholy rain. Out on Loch Ness, the dark gloom had bathed the swollen surface in a wash of thunder grey and the sinking clouds only gave away a smudge of hills.
The water clawed at the loch’s edge and any onlookers who’d arrived on the off-chance would have seen a mob of boat skippers and volunteers armed with cameras, microphones, night-vision goggles and thermal and infrared drones, then quickly realised they’d stumbled upon the biggest monster hunt for 50 years.
Don’t judge, but I took my place among them and joined the pursuit.
