Dozens head to Scottish banks to search for Loch Ness monster using modern technology

LONDON — Across the pond in the United Kingdom, people are once again joining the legendary hunt for the Loch Ness monster, believed to be hiding in a Scottish lake.

The search began with a famous 1934 photo, which was later revealed to be a hoax.

Over the weekend, people gathered for the largest Loch Ness monster hunt in nearly five decades.

This time, members of the search team used infrared drones and a hydrophone in an effort to map sounds in the lake.

“I think there is something there, whether it’s a giant eel or whatever,” Alan McKenna, a member of the search team, said. “I think that’s something down there, and that’s definitely worth exploring.”

Some of the hunters watched for clues from points around the lake, while others watched live streams from home.
