Two fresh sightings of the Loch Ness Monster have been reported within days of each other, ending a dry spell that lasted since late October. The first was by American tourist Tony Inhorn on March 1, who described seeing a 'dark-greenish grey body' rise two feet out of the water near the Caledonian Canal entrance.
Inhorn estimated the exposed portion of the creature to be between five and ten feet long, and said it hovered for about five seconds before submerging. He was about 15 feet away on a boat at the time. His account was posted on the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.
The second sighting occurred on March 5 via the Visit Inverness Loch Ness webcam near The Clansman Hotel. Eoin Fagan reported seeing a 'mysterious movement and shape' that broke the surface four times, moving against the current around 5.20pm. No vessels were visible before or after, ruling out boat wakes.
In November 2024, Alan McKenna of Loch Ness Exploration suggested that 'standing waves' – a natural phenomenon – could explain some sightings, as they may be mistaken for humps above the water. The two new reports have reignited interest in the enduring mystery of Scotland's most famous cryptid.
