Nessie: Land Evidence

In a new post over at the Loch Ness Mystery blog, Glasgow Boy begins with the following:

“Moving on from our overview of Loch Ness Monster Land Sightings, we have an aspect of these cases which turns up now and again and is best exemplified by the one case ascribed to the late monster hunter, Ted Holiday in 1962. We take up the story in his own words from his book, The Great Orm of Loch Ness:

“‘Passing the stony beach I moved on to prospect the wooded shore beyond Inverfarigaig which is hard to reach and seldom visited. A black fir-wood led down to a tract of bracken which ended in a beach. It was narrow, steeply-angled and overgrown with saplings. I examined this beach for some distance in both directions but the only organic object discovered was the drowned carcass of a wildcat. However, at one spot there was a curious patch of bent and broken bushes several yards wide beside the water for which it was hard to think of an obvious explanation. Years later, I learned that local people do occasionally find these patches and they associate them with the Orm.”

And, with that last sentence of Holiday firmly in mind, check out Glasgow Boy’s complete – and intriguing – latest post on what may be evidence of the Loch Ness creatures occasionally leaving the waters…
