Loch Ness Boat Operators Identify Kill Zone
For several months rumors have been swirling around Loch Ness about a 4-inch barbed tooth, possibly belonging to a giant mutation of an eel species that inhabits the waterway
Loch Ness, Scotland (PRWEB) June 27, 2005 -- For several months rumors have
been swirling around Loch Ness about a 4-inch barbed tooth, possibly belonging
to a giant mutation of an eel species that inhabits the waterway, found in the
mutilated carcass of a half-eaten deer back in March by two American college
students. Now, several boat operators have come forward to speak with Nessie
Investigator William McDonald, confirming the area where the deer was located is
known to locals as a “kill-zone.”
“Fisherman know the spot,” says
McDonald, who has been traveling back and forth to Loch Ness since 1993. “The
area’s located on the eastern shoreline, along the southern tip, just north of
Ft. Augustus. Your fish finder will jump when you pass the spot. They call it a
“kill zone” because it’s also frequented by the Loch’s biggest predator, which
will hunt along that shoreline in winter, looking for deer and otters and
occasionally a stray dog. I’ve now spoken with two local fishermen and a tour
boat operator who verify the remains of that mutilated deer can still be seen
along the shoreline near a small waterfall. The spot is inaccessible by
foot.”
As far as the species, McDonald confirms the creature is part of
the eel family, either a mutation or a new species altogether. “It’s the reason
we must get that tooth back from the Highland Authorities. It’s the only way to
prove my theories and resolve the mystery, once and for all.”
McDonald
last returned to Loch Ness in late December on an expedition funded by American
author Steve Alten, whose latest release, The LOCH is a fictional account of the
hunt for the monster, woven around McDonald’s latest research. “Alten got the
science right, but truth is still stranger and more exciting to me than any
fiction. I’m hoping to meet with the Highland Authorities very
soon.”
