A diligent Loch Ness webcam watcher believes that he recently spotted a baby 'monster' briefly emerge from the waters of the famed Scottish site. The tantalizing virtual sighting (seen above) was reportedly captured by tireless livestream viewer Eoin O’Faodhagain on the afternoon of May 7th. While monitoring a webcam feed from a hotel at the popular tourist destination, he "noticed a large disturbance in the tranquil waters of Loch Ness." Specifically, his eyes were drawn to a peculiar form that "broke the surface and rose up a few feet out of the water, then quickly submerged."

While the anomaly only appeared for a few seconds, fortunately, O’Faodhagain was recording the feed at the time, which allowed him to capture the fleeting moment for further examination. The suspected creature, he observed, seemed to sport "a neck and a bumpy back," causing him to marvel, "it fit the uncanny classic description of Nessie, given by many eyewitnesses over the years." To that end, O’Faodhagain argued that the curious form was a juvenile version of the site's famed monster as it bore no resemblance to any of the prosaic wildlife known to reside in Loch Ness.

"The whole episode startled me," the seasoned livestream viewer mused, "watching this short, spectacular image unfolding in front of my eyes." Calling the virtual sighting "unique" among the many he has collected over the years, O’Faodhagain posited that the proverbial baby Nessie was playing with a fish before eating it. Should that be the case, he said, the moment would constitute the first time the monster has been filmed while hunting for food. What do you make of O’Faodhagain's latest virtual sighting?
