Nessie, we hardly knew ye!
 Is the Loch Ness Monster dead?Fears are being raised for the famous creature following a lack of 'credible' sightings during the past year. The Loch Ness Monster may be dead, according to a leading Nessie enthusiast. Gary Campbell, president of the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club, said only one sighting - made just off the Clansman Hotel on June 6 last year - was judged in his opinion to have been the only 'credible' report of the monster in 2009. Mr Campbell stated such reports are increasingly rare. He added: "That's why we're so relieved to have heard about this sighting. In June, when it was reported, nobody had seen anything for a year. If it hadn't been for that one, we would have been really, really worried. There is an embarrassment factor to seeing Nessie. The first thing people say to you is, 'Had you had a drink?'" The Nessie enthusiast added: "Ten years ago we had a lot of good sightings, but in the last two or three years, they have tailed off. What we regard as a dependable sighting is very much down to the person who sees it.... Posted by: Mike 2010-01-08 |
