Search for the Loch Ness Monster

 Nearly 300 people have signed up to watch the live broadcast of the search, which takes place on Saturday and Sunday. It has been 90 years since the modern Nessie legend began. In April 1933, hotel manager Aldie McKay said she saw a whale-like creature in the lake. The Inverness Courier newspaper reported the sighting, and its editor at the time, Ivan Barron, suggested the creature should be described as a "monster". Since then, the Nessie mystery has inspired books, TV shows and films, as well as fueling a major tourism industry. This weekend's search was organized by the Loch Ness Centre, in Drumnadrochit, and a volunteer search team called 'Exploring Loch Ness'. Drones equipped with infrared cameras are scheduled to fly over the lake, and a water speaker will be used to detect unusual underwater sounds. Alan McKenna, from the Loch Ness Exploration Team, told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "We are looking for breaks in the surface and asking volunteers to record all sorts of natural behavior in the loch." He stated that the nature of the lake can deceive people's eyes and minds. He added: "Not every wave in the lake is considered a monster's path. Some of them can be explained, but there are a small number that cannot be explained." Loch Ness Center Director, Paul Nixon, added: “The interest in the weekend has been a fantastic activity for us and it is special to see how people from all over the world are still fascinated by the story of the Loch and Nesssie.” “We want anyone in the world to be able to help, which is why we're looking for novice monster hunters from anywhere to log in to a live stream from the lake over the weekend and see if they spot anything mysterious.” Organizers say this effort will be the largest search for the monster since the Loch Ness Investigation Office conducted a study in 1972. It is noteworthy that the office was established in the 1960s, and its mission is to find evidence of the presence of a large monster in the waters. But it was replaced in 1977, after failing to uncover any significant evidence for or against the monster's existence.
