We were talking about the weird, wonderful and inexplicable things we might have seen. Marian from Waas in Shetland sent this in...
I haven't seen the myself, but my husband Tom and all his family saw it in the summer of 1954 when he was 8 years old. They were all staying at his granny's croft on Loch Ness side and one day for a joke his father (a minister of the kirk!) said ' Look there's the monster' but in fact it was!! They all saw it, a long hump and a small head, and the most amazing thing was that they stood and watched it swimming up and down for 20-25 minutes - it didn't just appear and then disappear. Granny had lived on the loch side for over 80 years and this was the first and only time she had seen it. My sister-in-law who was 4 at the time remembers hiding under the car seat as she was so frightened....... so 9 people, all honest and upstanding citizens , can't all be telling porkies!!!
