Nessie hunters hear sounds but fail to record them
The Mystery of the fabled Loch Ness Monster endures despite a weekend of mass-participation Nessie hunting.
About 200 volunteers kept a lookout for mysterious events from the shoreline, but spotted nothing unusual.
Observers on a boat using acoustic equipment reported four unidentified " gloops" but then realised their recording device wasn't plugged in.
Organisers said visitors from around The World joined The Hunt despite appalling weather.
Alan Mckenna , from volunteer research group Loch Ness Exploration, was on a boat using a hydrophone system to capture the underwater sounds of the Highlands loch.
He Said when they were testing The System on Friday, they heard four distinctive " gloops".
" We all got a bit excited, ran to go make sure the recorder was on and it wasn't plugged in, " he sheepishly admitted.
The First written records of Monster date from the 7Th Century when a chronicler told how many years before, the Irish monk St Columba had banished a water beast from the River Ness .
The modern legend began in 1933 when hotel manageress Aldie Mackay claimed to have seen a whale-like creature in The Loch .
The Following year the famous " surgeon's photo" captured what looked like a prehistoric beast in the water, though 60 years later it was exposed as hoax involving modelling clay and a clockwork submarine.
The Old Hotel building at Drumnadrochit where Aldie Mackay reported her famous sighting is now home to newly-revamped Loch Ness Centre which jointly organised this weekend's hunt with Loch Ness Exploration.
As well as bedraggled volunteers on The Shore , hundreds more Monster hunters took part from more comfortable surroundings, by watching webcams trained on The Loch .
" We've had people from Spain, France, Germany and we had a Finnish couple. We've had news teams from Japan, Australia, America and it has been really good, " said Mr McKenna.
" We've all kind of banded together. It's been fantastic. "
Loch Ness Centre manager Paul Nixon was adamant The Event - billed as the biggest Nessie hunt in 50 Years - was More Than a publicity stunt, and said it showed that fascination with Nessie was as strong as ever.
" I believe there is Something Big lurking in the depths of Loch Ness , " He Said .
" Now I don't know whether it's a Monster - I don't know what it is but I reckon there's something Down There . "
