A tourist visiting Loch Ness claimed he spotted a mysterious 65ft-long shape moving through the water - sparking rumours of Nessie in the water.
Etienne Camel was visiting the famous lake with his wife Eliane when he then spotted the odd shape while taking pictures.
Speaking about his spooky encounter, Etienne, a French pharmacist from Lyon, said: “It was quite strange.
"I am a man of science so I never believed that the Loch Ness monster is a prehistoric animal. But when I was taking a picture I saw this long, long shadow.
“I called my wife over and we saw the shadow move.”

“I thought maybe it was a cloud, but there was none, or a boat, but none was near or reefs.

He told The Telegraph: “We could not tell if it was an animal, but something was moving under the water. I have never seen such [things] in lakes – and we have many where we live – before.”
For years and years, there have been theories that a monster lived in Loch Ness - but there has been no real proof that it existed.
The first stories of the monster dubbed “Nessie” emerged in 1933, after Francesca McGarvey from Castlehead, Paisley, saw a dark shape emerge from the water.

The earliest reporting of a 'monster' sighted in that area was in the seventh century but others say the reports could be rationally explained as encounters with similar types of animals.
The legendary monster is known to some by the affectionate nickname 'Nessie'.
Some have suggested it may be a descendent of a plesiosaur - a species of water-dwelling dinosaur - but again, the evidence is sketchy.
