According to the Mirror, the Loch Ness monster is a creature said to live in Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland. This aquatic being is described as a creature large in size, with a long neck, and humps protruding from the water. The monster was claimed to be first seen by a monk in the seventh century. In 1933, the first photograph of the Loch Ness monster was first taken and popular interest and belief began to grow. However, the scientific community has never confirmed its existence.
In addition to that, looks like the Loch Ness monster decided to pack its bag and move to Alaska. On October 18, Bureau of Land Management Fairbanks District Office Public Affairs Specialist, Craig McCaa decided to walk his camera down to the University Avenue bridge that crosses the river to snap a few photographs of ice forming on the water's surface, according to Alaska Dispatch News.
McCaa expected to snap some photos of just snow and ice but instead saw a "strange thing" moving back and forth. The video has been viewed for over 380,000 times and shared by nearly 4,000 people when it was uploaded to the "Bureau of Land Management - Alaska" Facebook page on last week. Social media users' imagination has run wild with speculations.
"I initially thought, and several people thought, it could be some rope that snagged on the bottom of the river with chunks of ice," McCaa told ADN. "Other people have mentioned everything from sea monster to giant sturgeon."
"It's strange thing. I don't know what I would have done if I had come by in a canoe or something," he said of whether the object spooked him personally. "But looking from it above on the University Avenue bridge I didn't feel too threatened." Whether this urban legend is real or not, there has been no scientific explanation behind these sightings.
