Loch Ness, “the monster really exists”. The photos prove it all

Almost a century after the last sightings, Mr Feltham – 60 years, of which more than half spent on the shores of Loch Ness – has no doubts: the “new sighting” is proven proof of the existence of the legendary ‘monster’. The fact that the ‘confirmation’, although still without scientific basis, comes from Steve Feltham has rekindled the British media spotlight on a mystery that incredibly survives for two hundred years. As the Daily Mail online reporting his testimony claims, Feltham is an eminence amongst ‘Nessie’ watchers and experts, as the creature has been affectionately renamed: he first visited the Scottish loch in 1979 at the age of 7. and he was so fascinated by it that he left his work as an adult to devote the greater part of his life to the noble purpose of “hunting” the phantom creature.

Today Feltham has to his credit 32 years spent with binoculars in hand and a hitherto unbeaten world record on the shores of the lake. Obviously, explains the newspaper, he was one of the first, in recent days, to participate in the largest and most sophisticated ‘hunt’ ever organized on Loch Ness. An initiative that has seen hundreds of volunteers from around the world reach the shores of the lake, currently at their lowest level since 1989 due to climate change, to track down the monster once and for all.

The hopes of clarifying the mystery, thanks to the drones and the sophisticated acoustic equipment used in this 2.0 hunt, were once again frustrated. But at the end of the biggest monster hunt of the last 50 years, the sensational photos from 2018 by translator Chie Kelly have resurfaced, which in 24 hours went around the world and rekindled new hopes among fans of ‘Lochnessology’. Feltham immediately confided to the Daily Mail that the photos that have just emerged are “the most moving I’ve ever seen”. The new “sighting” – she insisted – is “the biggest proof that the monster really exists”. As Loch Ness experts grapple with what has been hailed as the second most important sighting in fifty years, Chie Kelly had to explain why the photographs were made public five years later: she was “so shocked by what she saw at 13 August 2018 to “fear ridicule”, he said, which is why he did not share the images at the time. A fear that disappeared when the worldwide spotlight was turned on the lake again for the “great hunt” of recent days. Now everyone is waiting for science to have a say in the Kelly pictures.
