A veteran custodian of Loch Ness monster sightings is concerned that Nessie has not been seen in well over a year, and may be gone, according to a news report. This is the first time in nearly 90 years that such a lengthy lag in sightings has occurred.
Gary Campbell, who lives in Inverness in the United Kingdom has been keeping records of Loch Ness monster sightings for the past 17 years and has put together a list of sightings that goes back some 1,500 years, according to the BBC News.
"It's very upsetting news and we don't know where she's gone," BBC News quoted Campbell as saying. "The number of sightings has been reducing since the turn of the century but this is the first time in almost 90 years that Nessie wasn't seen at all." (Apparently three reports of possible Nessie sightings in 2013 were discredited after closer scrutiny, The Inverness Courier reported.)Maybe she's just taking a long nap. It might be hard to pass the centuries without a good cable package.
I root for Nessie the same way I root for Bigfoot, but with less hope. Loch Ness is a pretty sparse ecosystem, and doesn't likely have enough edible biomass to support one decent monster let alone a breeding population of them, unless she picks off unwanted tourists, and keeps it on the down low.
