As early as the seventh century, rumors and reports of a prehistoric aquatic beast in the mysterious Loch Ness have brought many to visit this dark, deep lake in the Scottish highlands. But the mystery of the Loch Ness monster still remains something more than just legend, as sightings have continued for more than a century now. Take a look at some of the latest developments in this mystery over the last five years.
The one of the last documented observations of the Loch Ness Monster – or Nessie – occurred at October 15th 2005 at 6pm in the evening (we had also one more in 2009). A local park owner named Robbie Girvan was walking his dogs when he saw a long neck emerge from the water. Robbie ran back to grab his camera and managed to snap five photos of a “dark green and silvery” creature before it disappeared once again into the murky depths.
In 2009, a more peculiar and unique sighting occurred. Popular search engine Google contains satellite photographs of the entire surface of the planet with a mapping product called Google Earth. A user spotted a strange spout of water and what appeared to be fins emerging from the lake in one of the satellite photos of Loch Ness. There is no way to know for sure what the image seen on Google Earth actually is, but the mysteries of Loch Ness continue enchant many and bring many visitors to this ancient and beautiful destination in Scotland.
Plan a trip to Loch Ness and perhaps the next sighting will correspond with your visit!

The post is incorrect – the last recorded sighting of Nessie was last year, 2009 – not 2005.
