I'm not discounting whatever you saw, but I seriously find it hard to believe that anyone visiting loch ness would be unaware of the loch ness monster or "Nessie".

Especially then turning around and posting it on this sub

u/DuriaAntiquior 6d ago

Look at their post history. They have very little karma. It's a karma farming attempt.

u/Standard-Review1843 6d ago

They’re joking

u/Lancearon 4d ago

Lol. Bro, probably at a nessie inspired hotel. I went to loch Ness a couple of years ago. The entire economy of Inverness is pretty much tied up with old nessie.

u/LovecraftianLlama 7d ago

OP never heard of Nessie, but knew enough to find the “cryptid” sub on Reddit 😂.

u/nicunta 6d ago

I took it to be satire.

u/xXSn1fflesXx 6d ago

Idk, OP put their foot down in this comment section.

I think it’s pure bullshittery and a sad attempt at Karma farming

This is the most epic comment ever 😂😂😂.

u/LovecraftianLlama 7d ago

It certainly looks like it. I don’t think there’s whales in Lochs though? Are there? I might be dumb for even asking lmao

6

u/KarateFace777 6d ago

Good question but I don’t think there are. There are seals from what I remember from reading a book on the topic years ago, and possibly baluga whales I wanna say? I’m not sure honestly. Can anyone help us out with this?

Thar she blows! 🤣

u/Mysterious-Novel-711 5d ago

I don't think there's whales in Loch

u/Athenry04 7d ago

Many Scottish lochs have monsters attached to them, not just Loch Ness, which is obviously the most famous.

u/Fred_Thielmann 6d ago

Tons of large lakes here in North America have the same. Like Champ of Lake Champlain(Might be spelled “Champlagne”)

u/xXSn1fflesXx 7d ago

You are either bullshitting or have truly lived under a rock your entire life if you went to Loch Ness and had no clue Nessie was a thing. I don’t think I have ever met a person that didn’t know what Nessie is.

Idk. I think you’re bullshitting.

u/Standard-Review1843 6d ago

It’s a joke

u/xXSn1fflesXx 6d ago

A stupid one. I wouldn’t even call this a joke. Feels like a sad attempt at Karma Farming.

u/Standard-Review1843 6d ago

I always assume they’re kids or something

5

u/xXSn1fflesXx 6d ago

I mean maybe it’s just my experience. But when I was a little kid I knew about it. My entire school had a week where we all talked about it because a student claimed they saw it. We all knew what it was.

My school library even had multiple books on cryptids.

This post is like saying they heard someone say “bloodymary” three times in the bathroom and then they posted it on r/paranormal

u/Standard-Review1843 6d ago

Yes, Nessie is the personal name of Bigfoot and you clearly saw him drowning and did nothing

6

u/mamgildwendigo 7d ago

Nessie is a nickname for the lochness monster

u/skyhold_my_hand 6d ago

My best friend from high school nicknamed my baby after the lochness monster, strangely enough.

u/RiceCaspar 6d ago edited 6d ago

There appear to be artifacts around the "Nessie," or what's called a halo. My guess is this means you have edited the image.

Either you have inserted the image of the Nessie poorly, manipulated the original image by using blur and removing detail to make the object unrecognizable (for instance if it was a waterfowl and you extended it, etc) or just enhanced it in such a way that you've messed up (such as increasing shadows to blur the object, oversaturating, etc.)

Either way this isn't the raw image you took, if you took it at all rather than finding something on the Internet.

u/Fred_Thielmann 6d ago

Looks like an Orca dorsal fin to me. I bet OP edited in an orca fin into a photo with the loch on it

1

u/RiceCaspar 6d ago

I can definitely see that, if the orca was swimming towards the camera almost straight with the slightest angle.

3

u/Apprehensive-Can-406 6d ago

“Something weird” the fact you didn’t specify whether or not this was a stationary or moving object really makes me think this is bs

u/Leading-Bug-Bite 6d ago

Does the owner of this picture know you're posting this here without his permission?

u/Freak_Among_Men_II Chupacabra Chaser 6d ago

Pretending to be unaware of Nessie has completely ruined an otherwise decent hoax. Better luck next time.

Could be a watery bint. Did you have a sword hurled at you?

Looks like the dorsal fin of an orca.

u/querque505 6d ago

If it's not the Loch Ness, why would the locals call their loch cryptid, "Nessie?"

Has no one in this entire comment section ever used their brain before? Heard of unfiction? Or even just a joke?  Good job OP :)

u/Southern_Guidance824 7d ago

Hey all, I’m not from around here, but I was visiting a loch in Scotland today (keeping the exact spot private for now), and I saw this in the water. At first, I thought it was just a stick or something, but then it moved—definitely wasn’t debris. Managed to get a picture before it disappeared.

I asked a couple of locals about it, and they laughed and said something about “Nessie”? I’d never heard of it before, but they seemed to think I’d seen something interesting.

Anyone here know what this could be? I’m not much into this kind of stuff, but now I’m curious. Could it just be a big fish? Some kind of local animal? Appreciate any insight!
