The mysterious Loch Ness monster has been spotted multiple times before the biggest search for the signs of Nessie last month. A photographer claimed to have captured a snap of the legendary creature but released it five years later.

New Photo of Loch Ness Monster Nessie Released

Chie Kelly, 51, captured a large eel-like creature gently whirling and swimming on the surface before it submerged. Kelly admitted she was too scared to share them before but decided to release the pics following the massive hunt for Nessie.

While on vacation in August 2018, she was so horrified by what she witnessed that she refrained from sharing the photographs for fear of being laughed at in public. She spotted a two-meter beast and decided to keep the discovery to herself.

However, the Loch Ness Exploration inspired him during the most extensive Nessie search in over 50 years, in which hundreds of volunteers participated. The Scottish translator from Fortrose said they have always thought there must be something about Loch Ness. She acknowledged the oddity there but couldn't determine what exactly it was.

What she observed reportedly resembled a serpent moving in the water. They never saw a head, and it never resurfaced. At first, she thought it might have been an otter, a pair of otters, or a seal.

When combined, the two visible portions were less than two meters long, but she could not measure the exact length. Whatever it was, it was reportedly an animal.

Kelly kept the photos to herself until last Saturday when she ran across Nessie hunter Steve Feltham. The latter admitted that he hadn't seen any more thrilling surface images of Nessie than those captured by Kelly.

He added that they were just the photos he had been yearning to take for 30 years. He stressed that observing something so obvious at first glance is unusual.

The pics reportedly reassure everyone who thinks Loch Ness is home to a mysterious creature because the shots are amazing. Despite studying them, Feltham is still unsure of what it is. However, they demanded additional research and concluded that the creature was not driftwood but an utterly unexplainable moving organism.

Another Loch Ness Nessie Sighting

An additional individual asserted to have seen the elusive Loch Ness monster in Scotland. Steve Valentine claims to have caught a glimpse of the fabled creature while vacationing with his wife Maria and their kids.

Even the boat's captain was reportedly "taken aback" by the snapshot. Valentine captured the alleged mysterious monster on his phone, noting that he saw a "black shape." He was asked to register the incident as an official sighting of Nessie.

He asserted that the object resembled the body hump and back of the legendary Loch Ness monster. When he handed the captain the photo, the latter gasped in surprise.

The photograph Valentine took on Aug. 17 was recognized and recorded in the Loch Ness Monster Sightings Official Register. Since 1996, the register has been overseen by expert Gary Campbell.
