Do You Want to Hear About a Sailor Who Saw the Loch Ness Monster?

Aint you just as cute as the dickens?

Look, I'm not one of those big proponents of the Loch Ness Monster, but it's not like I have any scientific evidence to say there isn't a large creature out there. I'm just skeptical when it comes to photographs of any kinds, basically because I've done some photoshop and I know how easy it is. Even with old ghost photos, there's usually some way that it could be fake, whether that's something you can prove or not. A new picture has come to the media, being touted as "proof" of Nessie.

We go to the story of George Edwards, a sailor whose boat is even called NESSIE HUNTER, who claims he was just out on the lake one day when something moved out of the corner of his eye. Lo and behold, it was that Loch Ness Monster. He got out his camera and took a quick shot of what he says is the back of the head of the creature.

Edwards contends that the creature mildly resembles a manatee and that he believes there are likely a plethora of them out there. When talking to ABC News about it, he had this to say:

"When people see three humps, they're probably just seeing three separate monsters. . .It was first seen in 565 AD. Nothing can live that long. It's more likely that there's a number of monsters, offspring of the original."

That's not speaking on a whim, clearly, so the man has done some homework. Finding Nessie has been a lifelong dream of his, and has been his full time hobby for years now. He says there is indeed a network of monster hunters at Loch Ness, though it's mostly under the radar to improve public images. That's not to say he's embarrassed, especially now that he has a picture. He contends that various Ness experts have examined his photo and think it might just be the best one in circulation.

What do you think?

If you want to go check things out for yourself, Edwards was even kind enough to give you a few nuggets of wisdom from his years of experience.

 "You have to be out there every day, with a camera and binoculars, and you have to be at the right place at the right time."

So, if any of you readers go out and follow the example set by George Edwards, do take a picture, and I'd appreciate if you'd send it my way. Thank you and good luck.
