THE LEGEND OF LOCH NESS

While no hard evidence for the existence of the Loch Ness Monster has yet turned up, heaps of sightings have been reported.

A Ian

Well, I’m talking about an incident that happened around 32 years ago, almost to the very day actually, midsummer, June 1965. I was fishing with a friend on the south shore of Loch Ness when I saw something break the surface of the water. I glanced there, and I saw it, and then it wasn’t there, it had disappeared. It was a whale- like object that rose up out of the water, submerged, and then reappeared seconds later. However, on this occasion it was now on my left, so I realised immediately that while in the process of surfacing, it had rotated. At that moment I called my friend Willie, who came over and joined me. We sat transfixed for a moment before realising that it was drifting towards us. In fact it came to within, I would say, about 250–300 yards. If I hadn’t had the extraordinary experience of seeing it for myself, I just wouldn’t have believed it!
