Mystery hunters converged on a Scottish lake on Saturday to look for signs of the mythical Loch Ness Monster.
The Loch Ness Center said researchers would try to seek evidence of Nessie using thermal-imaging drones, infrared cameras and a hydrophone to detect underwater sounds in the lake’s murky waters. The two-day event is being billed as the biggest survey of the lake for 50 years, and includes people from around the world watching the waters remotely on webcams.
McKenna told BBC radio the searchers were “looking for breaks in the surface and asking volunteers to record all manner of natural behavior on the loch.” The Loch Ness Center is located at the former Drumnadrochit Hotel, where the modern-day Nessie legend began. In 1933, manager Aldie Mackay reported spotting a “water beast” in the mountain-fringed loch, the largest body of freshwater by volume in the United Kingdom and at up to 750 feet one of the deepest.
Many believe the sightings are hoaxes or can be explained by floating logs or strong winds, but the legend is a boon for tourism in the picturesque Scottish Highlands region.“I believe there is something in the loch,” he said, though he is open-minded about what it is. “I do think that there’s got to be something that’s fueling the speculation.”“I think it’s just the imagination of something being in the largest body of water in the U.K. … There’s a lot of more stories,” he said.
