A Loch Ness Monster hunter believes she has caught the beast on camera after a live webcam stream of the loch captured a mysterious black shape moving across the water. 

Kalynn Wangle, 28, from Oregon, recorded the shape moving slowly on the surface of the water whilst watching the livestream of the freshwater Loch in the Scottish Highlands on March 17.

In the video, which was described as 'as good as it gets' by Nessie hunters, a black shape can be seen moving slowly south across the water, before it slips beneath the surface behind a tree.

Now the footage has been entered into the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register as the fifth official sighting this year.

Miss Wangle said: 'A friend of mine that I met through the webcam chat asked me to take a look at it.

'I had never seen anything quite like it on the webcam before and I thought it was interesting enough to make a video.

'When it is really visible, it's much longer than any boat that I have seen on the webcam.

'To me, it really looks like there is a large animal in the water, and it's possibly making a wave as is moves just under the surface.' 

Gary Campbell, who keeps the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, said that until people could visit in person, Kalynn's sighting was the best you could get.

'It's as good as it now gets with the webcam reports,' he said.
