New Tool Unveiled In The Search For “Nessie,” The Legendary Loch Ness Monster

Ever since the first alleged sighting of the Loch Ness Monster in 1933, countless others have claimed to spot the elusive creature. People from all over the world have seen Nessie-like shapes that made them do a double take. But the monster’s home is supposedly located in Loch Ness, a lake located in the Scottish Highlands. While many are quick to dismiss the possibility she actually exists, there are plenty of others still on the search.

Every year, The Loch Ness Centre holds an event called The Quest Festival. This year was particularly memorable. Using Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), they were able to search deep within the dark waters. Learn more about these cool devices in the video below!

Baited camera traps with lights were also strategically placed to capture any potential wildlife, Nessie or otherwise. In the end, this iconic cryptic was not found. Still, The Loch Ness Centre says that other exciting discoveries were made that day.

For starters, their camera picked up pike and salmon at depths previously unseen. This, they say, could be Nessie’s food source. Plus, they found camera cabling from the 1970s. These cables were used by the late Dr. Robert Rines, a particularly well-known hunter of the Loch Ness Monster.

Although Nessie has yet to be found, it’s clear the folks at the Centre and beyond aren’t giving up just yet.

“The excitement and buzz around this weekend has proven that the Loch Ness mystery is very much alive,” Nagina Ishaq, General Manager of The Loch Ness Centre, says. “… The footage we have captured using the ROVs has just made us more determined than ever to continue our search for the truth.”
