A new sighting of the Loch Ness Monster has been claimed by fanatic Eoin O'Faodhagain

Nessie obsessive Eoin O'Faodhagain claims that he saw a creature "as big as three men" when he was watching the Scottish water via a webcam from his home in Ireland.

O'Faodhagain says that his "heart jumped" when he noticed a large black shape breaking through the surface of the water and he is convinced that it is the legendary beast that he has spent years trying to find.

He said: "I noticed a spot in the water causing a disturbance at the edge of the webcam screen to the right. My heart jumped because I thought this disturbance was not the norm."

O'Faodhagain explained that the creature is 18 feet long and that its size cannot be matched by any other species in Loch Ness.

He said: "There are no known creatures in Loch Ness that size.

"It could be the Loch Ness Monster; the sighting is very unusual, and that in itself puts into the realm of Nessie - but it needs further analysis."
