A man was left stunned after seeing a shape beneath the waters while on Loch Ness.
The witness at Dores Beach spotted the dark mass and snapped a photo of ‘part of the body’ of the legendary Nessie in Scotland. The lasted for several minutes, and the surface of the water on that day offered a clear view of the mysterious occurrence.
The Loch Ness Centre has reviewed the pictures, and it claims this is the first potential sighting it has been made aware of this year.
Nagina Ishaq, the centre’s general manager, said, “We’ve had numerous observations over the years, but this recent sighting has been particularly captivating.
“The conditions on the day of this sighting were absolutely perfect. This could very well be our first significant sighting of the year, further fuelling the mystery surrounding Loch Ness and its most famous resident.”

Speaking about if the mystery can ever be solved, Ishaq continued: “As always, we are committed to solving the mystery of Nessie once and for all.
“Our previous collaborations with the University of Aberdeen and Loch Ness Exploration allowed us to advance our research efforts significantly, and this potential sighting is a reminder that the mystery of Loch Ness is far from solved.
“We continue to explore every possibility and are committed to uncovering the truth.” While Alan Mackenna, of Loch Ness Exploration, urged people to keep on sharing any potential photos of the monster.
He said: “It’s fantastic to see the ongoing enthusiasm for scanning the waters of Loch Ness in search of the legendary monster.

“Whether you’re capturing intriguing sonar readings, spotting unusual surface disturbances, or noticing patterns in the loch’s natural behaviour, we’d love to hear from you.
“Every observation adds to our understanding, whether it’s potential evidence of Nessie or new insights into the loch’s unique ecosystem. Keep sharing your findings—we’re always excited to analyse and explore what they could mean!”
In November last year, Mackenna said a strange natural phenomenon could finally explain the mystery of Loch Ness Monster sightings. He believed that elusive ‘standing waves’ may explain sightings of the mythical monster.
He noted: “A standing wave occurs when two boat wakes of the exact same frequency and amplitude are moving in opposite directions on the loch surface. When the two boat wakes finally meet and interfere with one another the results have the potential to create a standing wave.”
