British YouTuber claims he has captured the Loch Ness monster on drone footage

A British camper took his drone on a trip through the wilderness. It was only when he reviewed the footage that he spotted something he couldn’t believe.

A UK YouTuber believes he may have captured drone footage of the Loch Ness monster near the banks of the loch in a recent video.

Richard Mavor, 54, was filming for his channel Richard Outdoors when eagle-eyed viewers spotted a familiar-looking figure under the water.

The wild camper was taking part in the Great Glen Canoe challenge in the Caledonian Canal in Scotland for the Alzheimer’s Society with friends when the creature appeared.

He admitted that he hadn’t seen the beast in the water until punters started to comment on the footage, which can be viewed in the video player above.

Speaking to the Daily Record, Mr Mayor said he “couldn’t believe it”.

“I had to rewind the footage several times and have watched it several times since.”

Mr Mayor continued: “I don’t know what it is but it certainly has the same shape as previous sightings of Nessie.

“The more I watch it I think ‘crikey!’ there really wasn’t anything in the area that could be.

“There was no driftwood or anything like that so who knows.”

Many people who watched Mr Mayor’s video pointed out that an unusual shape at the water’s edge looked a lot like the Loch Ness monster.

One person commented: “Four mins waters edge, the ripples look like Nessie.”

Another wrote: “I‘m sure I could see Nessie at the shore line at 4.00mins.”

One more added: “Was that Nessie I spied ‘neath the water early on in the film?”

Another said: “Richard there is a shape in the water at 4 minutes and three seconds approaching the shingle beach it was Nessie coming to wish you luck on the trip.”

The outdoor explorer from North Yorkshire managed to raise more than $28,000 for the Alzheimer‘s Society during the challenge.
