Monster Attacks Reported on Loch Ness
Last winter, at least a dozen locals living in hamlets around Loch Ness reported land sightings at night, and three families reported missing pets, according to Forensics Investigator William McDonald.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) June 20, 2005 –- Last winter, at least a dozen locals
living in hamlets around Loch Ness reported land sightings at night, and three
families reported missing pets, according to Forensics Investigator William
McDonald.
“I pride myself on being a bit of an old-fashioned gumshoe
detective,” said McDonald, whose new revelations and research are woven into the
fictional storyline of NY Times best-selling author Steve Alten’s latest
thriller, The LOCH. “I’ve spent twelve years getting to know the locals who work
at key infrastructures along the Loch, such as the waterworks and
hydro-electrical plants, places where creature sightings are more apt to occur.
Alten knows that, it’s why he hired me to help him with his research.”
Last winter, McDonald’s relations with the locals paid off when they
sent him urgent messages to return to Loch Ness because of rare land sightings.
“Land sightings happen in the winter, when the nights are sixteen hours long and
before the salmon migrations occur. The creature gets hungry and is more apt to
come on shore. I spoke with several families who live close to the water that
reported missing pets, and a crofter (farmer) whose sheep went into a frenzy
late one night. When he came out with his gun, he heard a tremendous splash.”
McDonald’s December visit led him to two eyewitnesses and the first–ever
documented photos of giant slide tracks. “This was a big animal, at least 50-60
feet long and weighing seven to eight tons. We lucked out because it came ashore
after a rainfall. That night it grew very cold and the tracks froze over. The
sighting occurred just south of Invermoriston, along the A-82 highway. The two
guys who saw this thing were freaked out.
“Most locals know exactly what
the creature is, but rarely let on because it would be bad for tourism. How many
people would actually come to Loch Ness if they knew the creature was a
deepwater species that preferred the depths and ventured topside only in the
dead of winter. But my job isn’t to protect the economy, it’s to get at the
truth.”
