You can laugh or joke about it, but the legend of the Loch Ness Monster has fascinated people for thousands of years. The first reported sighting of Nessie was recorded in 564. Yes, 546!

It’s always been one of those myths you hear about and roll your eyes thinking “how can people be so gullible?”, but don’t you dare say that to photographer Chie Kelly, who is making headlines this week for capturing the elusive creature on her Canon camera.

Now I know what you’re thinking – those look like bin bags full of air caught in a breeze. But if that were the case, why is renowned Nessie hunter/expert Steve Feltham calling Kelly’s photos some of “the most exciting ever”?

Interestingly, Kelly says she actually took these photos in 2018, but was worried about being publicly ridiculed if she released them to the press. In the end, she decided to go public after another high-profile search for the monster was launched last weekend, not to mention all the alien/UFO stories that have been dominating the headlines in recent weeks. Why should a Loch Ness sighting be taken any less seriously?

Kelly, who was with her husband and daughter and claims the monster was moving at a “steady speed”, told The Telegraph:

“I was just taking pictures with my Canon camera of Scott and our daughter Alisa, who was then five, when about 200 metres from the shore, moving right to left at a steady speed was this creature.

It was spinning and rolling at times. We never saw a head or neck. After a couple of minutes it just disappeared and we never saw it again.

At first I wondered if it was an otter or a pair of otters or a seal, but we never saw a head and it never came up again for air. It was making this strange movement on the surface. We did not hear any sound. There were these strange shapes below the surface. I could not make out any colours – the water was dark.

I could not accurately assess its length, but the two parts that were visible were less then two metres long together.

I don’t know what it was but it was definitely a creature – an animal. At the time I did not want to face public ridicule by making the photographs public.”

Well, that’s me convinced. Nessie is real. End of discussion.
