Do These Photos Show The Loch Ness Monster?

Do new photos show the Loch Ness Monster?

That's the claim being made after photos taken in 2018 by Chie Kelly surfaced, and the images do appear to show something in the water at Dores, according to the Mirror.

The Loch Ness Monster has been an urban legend going back decades, and there's been plenty of hunts for the mythical creature allegedly living in Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.

There's never been any concrete proof the Loch Ness Monster exists. Many claims have been debunked as fake. However, the photos now going viral are certainly interesting.

Images appearing to show the Loch Ness Monster go viral.

Something can clearly be seen. Loch Ness Monster hunter Steve Feltham told the Mirror the images "are the most compelling surface images of the phenomenon."

Take a look at the images in the video below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

I don't think there's any doubt something is in these photos, and if they're doctored - which can't ever be ruled out - the people responsible did a hell of a job.

Now, here's a theory I'm going to float that I've heard before that I think is interesting. Is the Loch Ness Monster a giant eel? Instead of one mythical beast going back more than a hundred years, is it possible some of the sightings have been eels?

Eels can grow to be huge, especially when there's a limited number in an area and there's no competition. Is it possible the Loch Ness Monster isn't a dinosaur that survived extinction but instead various eels over the years? I definitely didn't come up with the theory, but it's one I've found interesting.

All I know for sure is the topic continues to generate and gin up interest. There's no question about that. Speculation about the Loch Ness Monster is right near the level of interest in UFOs and the paranormal. Have a solid theory? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
